Wow! That’s nice! How does it work? Does the drum trigger a clock to advance the melody? Does it modulate the envelope or filter as well?

I seem to be watching a lot of Korean drama on Netflix. “Sisyphus: The Myth” currently holds my attention, as it seems to be a variation on the theme of La Jetee/Twelve Monkeys. A talented cast, excellent production, and good music make this interesting. I found the English-language soundtrack annoying (not unusual for me) so I listen to the Korean actors’ original performance and watch the subtitles.

The new series of Doctor Who increases my confidence in this most malleable franchise; simultaneously my beloved wife has undertaken a full binge of all Doctor Who and she’s currently in the mid-seventies with the bescarfed Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) and Leela. Tom is the longest serving Doctor Who, and his may be the most universally recognised persona (perhaps equalled by David Tennant.)

In the current era, I particularly adore the strategic juxtaposition of the “manic pixie” with that of Ruth (the hidden Doctor). This is the best era of Doctor Who so far.

That Hainbach installation reminded me a bit of Michael Gordons Decasia.

I was working as a sound technician setting up the PA system and microphones for the premiere in Basel Switzerland (back in 2001) . That was an impressive set, the orchestra was surrounding the audience, sitting in a 3 stories scaffold and creating an amazing soundscape. A 16mm film was shown on 3 big screens. The film was made of half decomposed celluloid that created these weird effects. The trailer only gives a very tiny impression.

This is so cool! I did not really get how the keyboard is connected to the tape machine. Is it controlling the playback speed? But they also said it does some polyphony??

Sorry I don’t know more than you, maybe like some kind of Melotron system ?

Maybe there’s a write head and a read head - like a tape echo delay. The notes from the little keyboard are recorded on to the tape, so you have real polyphony, then messing with the tape speed during write and read make warbly tapey noises come out?
