Tech Talk: Thomas P. Heckmann (Slices Issue 4-07) PAL

“And particularly stuff like this also gives you ideas. […] Why does one need so many modules in a huge cupboard like this one, when everything also works so nicely in a computer? The advantage is that you simply put a bunch of cables around your neck and start trying out ideas and finding new sounds.”

Be warned: this video contains an incredible amount of synth, studio and retro toy porn, including that model of calculator used by Kraftwerk - you know the one - and a truly insane collection of Speak’n’Spells and Stylophones.

This doubly tickles my tendrils considering how much ever-lasting love our raving crew has had for Heckmann’s productions ever since the phenomenal classic that was Amphetamine way back in 1994.

John Foxx on Electric Independence

Shows off his synths, talks about electronic music, and is generally too awesome for words.
