Here is an entertaining short videofilm made by int’l music producer Uku Kuut, full of crafted synthesizer beds and humorous SFX:

BTW: There is a excellent new compilation of Uku’s 1980s demo recordings available now on LP & CD from People’s Potential Unlimited records of Washington, D.C. It includes lost & unreleased instrumental material from this true synthesizer recording artist. It’s wonderful material!

Feat. Roland TR-808. From the sounds of it, what synthesizers might you guess are being used in here? What about visualizers? Special thanks to czar7474 for making this (and many other rare VHS logos) available for easy viewing!

Beatles Electroniques [1969]

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:25:12 +0000

Video created by Nam June Paik & Jud Yalkut at WGBH television studios in Boston, MA in 1969. WGBH was a hub for early video experimenters in the late 1960s & early 1970s. In this video, Beatles footage is “Wobbulated” as part of a larger broadcast project by Paik called Video Commune (Beatles From Beginning To End). Sound by Ken Werner is stunning & especially to know that digital samplers were not used or yet available. Any thoughts or insights re: this far-out groundbreaking material?? Enjoy & check out early btw2worlds Paik post here!

Can anyone out there confirm that this logo was composed (and possibly

DIGITAL PRODUCTIONS [1982-1986/7]

Thanks to DIGITAL PRODUCTIONS, the world received some beautiful & forward-thinking computer animations in the early/mid 1980s. Posted here is the company’s demo reel from 1984 [you must love the SMPTE leader intro], along with the zany music video they helped to create for the Mick Jagger song “Hard Woman” circa 1985/6. Other popular DP productions include the animated portions from The Last Starfighter and Labyrinth films. Thanks Digital Productions & Cray X-MP supercomputer – it’s incredible the amount of skill, time, effort & determination [&$$] that went into DP animations!

While we don’t feature very much 21st century technology here at btw2worlds, we couldn’t resist posting this wonderful quickstart video. Roger Linn walks us through the basic functions & features of the new Tempest machine from Dave Smith Instruments. This video is very enjoyable (even with your eyes closed) & the machine is top notch. Any first hand Tempest users out there care to comment?
