Synth spotting after the two minute mark. Via Hajo: "This is a HD Video from our last year EM live event in the GASOMETER Oberhausen Germany."

"EL-KA live im Gasometer Oberhausen
im Rahmen der Ausstellung "Sternstunden" .
Mit live gespielter Lasershow.
Der Abend im Gasometer Stand unter dem Motto "Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis"
Die Synthesizer Formation EL-KA (HaJo Liese und Till Kopper) featuring Hermann Lipinski (lila),welche die Musikrichtung der alten Berliner Schule "Klaus Schulze,
Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream" favorisiert, gab ein Konzert
in einer wirklich spektakulären Umgebung."

Googlish:
"EL-KA in live Gasometer Oberhausen
within the exhibition "Out".
With live laser show.
The evening at the Gasometer booth under the motto "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
The formation synthesizer EL-KA (HaJo Liese and Till Kopper) featuring Hermann Lipinski (purple), which the music of the old Berlin school "Klaus Schulze
Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream favors, "gave a concert
in a truly spectacular setting."

Update via Qwave in the comments: "Here a hopefully slightly better translation (I am a native german speaker, sorry for my english):
"EL-KA live at the Gasometer [huge gas storage tank, 100 m high] in Oberhausen [Germany] as part of exhibition "Highlights" [actual translation does not fit, due to some word pun used].
With live performed laser show.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was the title of the evening in the Gasometer.
The synth duo EL-KA (Hajo Liese and Till Kopper [that's me]) featuring Hermann Lipinski (of Lila) was playing a concert in a real spectacular setting. They prefer the style of the Berlin School "Klaus Schulze, Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream."

The text on YoTube was written by the video uploader.

I used a 1979 Minimoog, Waldorf XTk (30 voice version), Manikin Electronics Memotron, Korg k25 keyboard to transpose Hajo's Schrittmacher, iPhone to play the Apollo 11 samples, Behringer mixer.

HaJo Liese used:
Manikin Electronics Schrittmacher (step sequencer), Vermona Perfourmer
Vermona DRM1, EMU Vintage module, Kawai K1 rack, Roland as master keyboard, submixer.

Hermann Lipinski used:
Nord Modular, PC-laptop with different soft synths and a sampler app, E-guitar, sub mixer.

We played to the laser show done by friends. We did three shows of about 45 mins that day. We had some sequences prepared. And some ideas in our head. But as usually, it was mainly improvised live music."

The Waldorf Wave to be exact.

Update via Till "Qwave" Kopper in the comments:
"... and it is my WAVE +16 (= 32 voice) shown here. A snapshot by someone taken during my last year's Planetarium concert of "EL-KA" (http://el-ka.synthmusic.info german only) in Bochum/Germany.
If you look to the yellow Waldorf Q in the back, you will notice the joy-stick someone added to my instrument.
Here is one from the other direction:

You will see the other half of EL-KA there: HaJo Liese.
The CD recording is available at www.syngate.net and other EM music shops. And we will play at the Univercity of Eindhoven/The Netherlands next week's Saturday at the E-Day (http://e-day.groove.nl)

EL-KA - Live @ E-Day 2007

You might remember EL-KA from these previous posts. The project features electronic music primarily from Hajo Liese and Till "Qwave" Kopper. That's them pictured in the CD inlet to the left. Pictured below is "Cosmic Hofmann (the brain behind the MEMOTRON, he did all the sampling libraries) explaining the Memotron to David Wright from UK." You can listen to and pick up the album here.

As always the posts here are about the synths. Click the top image to see the synths used.

Update via Qwave in the comments:
"Have a look here for information about this project of Wolfgang Michalowicz from Dusseldorf/Germany:

I heard it and his 4 channel panning-processor last September in Kufstein/Austria during a little gig we (HAJo and me = EL-KA) had together with Wolfgang.
