this piece was super intriguing to me because it sounded equally like it could be made on a computer or played by a super skilled drum group. I first heard it on a DJ mix and couldn't figure out who/what it was for like 10 years until this was reissued!
I strongly recommend that you listen to Autobahn by Kraftwerk. It was released in 1974, and it was the first electronic pop album ever released. That album was followed by Radioactivity in 1976, which further developed electronic pop and electronic music in general.
there's no minimal,all shit whats bangin was and is always minimalistic,thats for what was techno made in the early 90's....hypnotic and get in other level!!!!
Early roots of techmo?? I tried it out, if you consider these wole sounds like an accompaniament, now try to imagine the basedrum 4 to the floor, and you are there! It works
Interesting and very minimalistic - drew me in with its archaism. Could still be the base rhythm for something greater and more cavernous in its exploration.
From Spiegel's notes: "the sounds in this piece are neither analog nor digital synthesis. Instead, the computer was used to make sudden sharp electrical transients, simply the sound of individual bits being turned on and off, which were wired out to pulse high-Q resonant filters that Emmanuel Ghent and Max Mathews had built. Pitch was purely a function of filter cut-off frequency." retiary.org/ls/obsolete_systems/
That makes sense. Most modern physical modeling synths work similarly. For those interested, you basically can use any impulse to trigger a comb filter (which is basically a high resonant filter) to produce a decaying sound. Changing the parameters of the filter gives you percussive sounds of different pitch and duration. NI's Kontour and Prism are synths which excel at this, and Zebra2 is quite capable of doing the same. You can use pretty much anything, though, as long as you have the right filter (or even delay) unit.
Now that's interesting! Here's a picture of Laurie Spiegel from a 2012 interview where you can see those exact same two tape machines (last photo in the article) www.sothismedias.com/home/the-bell-sound-3-grooving-with-laurie-spiegel So I think this is Laurie Spiegel, after all. Also, isn't Eliane Radigue known for her devotion to the ARP 2500?
these Anti establishment hippie chicks must've had whole Lotta money and rich establishment daddy to be able to buy synths that cost more than a house back in those days.
Wow, all of you guys are living in a different orbit than I am, because to me this has absolutely no value on any quantifiable level that I can think of. I can get fully signed on to Coltrane's 'Interstellar Space', Stockhausen, Messiaen, etc., and I love dischord and controlled chaos more than anything. But this? This is unfocused wankery. Worse, it's just plain uninteresting. And yeah, I'm an analogue/modular synth guy like the rest of you, so I 'get it'. I just don't hear anything hear even remotely relevant.
Zach Barnhart not sure what would make this “relevant” for you. You are basing your judgement solely from a subjective, aesthetic point of view, which is a different standard then whether this work has merit. Personal taste aside, how can you ignore the groundbreaking nature of this composition?
“Mommy! Zach peed in my lemonade!” Is equally as useless a comment as your booger flick of an entry. BTW, listen to ‘PROMISES’ - Pharoah Sanders with Floating Points and The London Symphony Orchestra since you seem to be in need of some listening material.
@@spcsh1936 Some African old kind of music (with drumming) sounded exactly like this, so nothing new, only older african' stuff made with electronic things in 1975
So many great female electronica artists in the '60s and '70s it's amazing. I'm really glad folks on TH-cam are promoting these obscure gems.
She's big on planet XJ-IIK
It's fascinating how a sophisticated instrument can produce such primal sound...
U would not believe the synchronicity I experienced whilst listening to this for the first time. Truly entertaining.
Unbeliavable composition I love it!
The interacting rhythms are a typical in traditional group drum performances in Africa.
Morbidman - any group of sounds or rhythms?!?! Orchestral music usually does not sound like this
Sudeste asiático.
I studied African Drumming, you are so right.

Post some link, please!
Tout simplement extraordinaire, merci pour ce travail prophétique et inspirant
Love this type of music.
Larie Spiegal is a master of sound .I would be proud to create such complex sound in 1975 ,
Kraftwerk: Autobahn 1975
WTF ??? This is Techno in 1975 ... amazing.
1975, a fertile year for music
I strongly recommend that you listen to Autobahn by Kraftwerk. It was released in 1974, and it was the first electronic pop album ever released. That album was followed by Radioactivity in 1976, which further developed electronic pop and electronic music in general.
A wonderful piece of music
A song that leaves your heart racing along to the beat brilliant tune fantastic stuff
Reminds me of the Steve Reich's 'Drumming'. Excellent stuff,
Very similar looping and stereo technique to Steve Reich's pieces.
Reminds me of Dj Koze - Brutalga Square
minimalistic..... pure
Nice sounding drums. Thanks, Laurie. Thlaurie.
Legendary record.
This rocks.
What are you doing here haha
no it's electronics
beautiful
Interesting. Bell Labs had created a number of electronic music machines
kool story
Michael Bauers it really is
Bell labs made and messed with absolutely everything back then
@@Gazdatronik They basically invented AutoCAD with touch screen in the mid 60's.
so schön.
full of women pioneers in electronica ! go hear pauline oliveros, delya derbishire, wendy carlos Laurie Spiegel
please share more videos you like as this one
Wendy Carlos was a man
Amazing work!
sounds like Laurie Spiegel
you're right!
I thought. ,she's using a Watkins echo chamber. Analogue.
But its a computer? Oh well. Still sounds great.
Sounds like Plastikman with Roman Flugel
Laurie's Beigel
Daniel Pawłowski I was thinking Plastikman as well. Particularly "Consumed." But she was like 20 years ahead of him! Wow.
Aristo fortissimos! Peace Christo 👽🐕🎶☮️
sounds like the music in akira, when they are ridinng
Eduardo Hernández everywhere I go lately I see someone talking about Akira
Wow I’m in awe of this
you mean Ewe
love it!!
Killer beat :)
Sounds like the beginning of "Heart of Glass" by Blondie.
first minimal techno track ever!
Delia Derbyshire has that title IMO for this

Sounds like Mika Vainio but 20 years earlier.
I def had this record in the late 90's. PhilO
Gros Matos analogique
A l'époque J'adore 😚🌹le son pur
Magnifique bravo 👍
Michel 04 Alpes France
marvelous!
Let's goooooooooo!!! 💊🪩👩🚀💨🚀
2:50 Is that a mean phasey drone in the background or a ground loop? 🤔
this is amazing.
yesss!
sick
Like a primordial "Spastik" by Plasticman
Early roots of techmo?? I tried it out, if you consider these wole sounds like an accompaniament, now try to imagine the basedrum 4 to the floor, and you are there! It works
Great creation
yes, thats a groove
I was one year old whe in she wrote this music ..now im trying to do the same
dope!!
Made me think of Psychic Worriors of Gaia at some point. Hmmm ... said that already a year ago lol.
I keep doing that lately. At least t reinforces what you thought the first time!
nunca es tarde para descubrir talentos poco comerciales, aunque sean de mediados de los setentas...
juste magnifique
Great
and action!!
Alucinante!!!
Mind blown
Reminds me Steve Reich percussions
Another masterpiece.
That's where PWOG got their mustard and butter.

favorita!

love oit!!
Splendid!! Steve Reich remember.
Wondrouswoman.
#OdedMusic #OdedFriedGaon #Audioded
This sounds a lot like Steve Reich's "Drumming". All the way down to the rhythm progression!
Guess Laurie was quite inspired by that piece and wanted to see how something percussive would translate on the Groove System.
Minimal techno
sounds like akira
I was about to say that! :)
kaaaaaa rawe, whaea.
Anyone know what synth/drum machine she is using on this piece?
See description :)
tyle maszyn a tylko 3 dźwięki :-(
That's amazing.
Cool stuff... Reading the description, I'm assuming that the Electrocomp synths pictured in the vid are not featured in this piece?
no todos entienden esta música
Todos la entienden, pocos la escuchan.
I want to know how the drum sound was synthesized?
meagain2222 what makes you think it was synthesized? this is one of the first samplers
From Spiegel's notes: "the sounds in this piece are neither analog nor digital synthesis. Instead, the computer was used to make sudden sharp electrical transients, simply the sound of individual bits being turned on and off, which were wired out to pulse high-Q resonant filters that Emmanuel Ghent and Max Mathews had built.

only adequate reply :) thanks Daniel

or how to ping filters

very long LFO

Akira! Tetsuooooo
cool story
sounds like binaural beats in illo tempore
African drums style. Techno without the kicks. Sweet.
Wow ....
Ben Ufo brought me here
TECHNO
....................................ahhhhhhhhh..............
Its not Laurie SPIEGEL on the picture but Eliane Radigue... what a shame to confuse two great composers

Haha. What a fool you must be.
these Anti establishment hippie chicks must've had whole Lotta money and rich establishment daddy to be able to buy synths that cost more than a house back in those days.
Laurie Spiegel was employed at Bell Labs and co-developed this (first ever) digital controlled synthesizer. Go spread your shit somewhere else.
