One day two burglars broke into a house and stumbled across a studio with much vintage awesomeness. Having need seen anything like it before, they were amazed at the blinking lights, jumbles of patch cords & plethora of knobs and decided to investigate further. The following CCTV footage shows the awesome jam that followed.
Ah Ah, Russian attitude? Great! I like Russia. Anyway both of us (Maurizio and Lapo) live on the hills near to Florence (Italy). Alexander Robotnick (Alexander the worker in Russian) is a character I invented in the early 80s, when I composed "Problèmes d'Amour". He was supposed to be a musician born in Kamchatka and escaped to France during the Stalin time, that's why he was singing in France language. Just google Alexander Robotnick or The Analog Session Thanks to everyone for appreciation
worker in Russian is spelled rAbotnik, but good attempt yet. good. But I suggest you change the legend. Alexander has escaped with Stalin to Mars and then returned but Stalin rejected to return because he liked mars a lot more than he liked Red Square. In Moscow there was only one square being Red, on Mars the whole planet is Red so he made a desicion to stay. Alexander has rode nuclear bear that was driven by drinking radioactive vodka to reach France where he eventually broke eiffel tower. what we see now is a low grade Chinese copy built in Bejing
I wanted to find this video that a friend had shown me years ago. So I just googled "two old men look like burglar play techno", and here I am. I love the internet.
This should be mandatory viewing for all the dubstep/trap/brostep "producers" in the world. Melodies, arpeggios and progressions that last more than 2 bars and actually have some structure to them. This is a masterclass in how to play electronic music. This is genuinely wonderful!!!!
@@idealfather3547 Aye, true. The patterns themselves aren't long, but they are masterful in using filtering to draw them out, and that melodic hook that comes in about 2:25 is just gorgeous. I love the portmanteau-heavy lead accents on the Wasp as well, they add a lot of interest without being obtrusive. It's superbly played, though it does induce some very serious synth envy...
2 months later, in February of 2020, ... and I have bad news for you. The passage of time would seem to have tarnished the jam session of these two musicians, making it suddenly un-awesome. A tragic fate, but certainly one that all music on you tube must face. 😔 May we all learn from the tragic passing of this music.
@@severant1860 Hold on , that's too cryptic for me . Could you please elaborate on your statement , explain what it says to unnative english readers like me ?
This music - on self made equipment, and the awesome bass - and the rythm - keeps me coming back for more, again and again. Age is nothing - passion is everything!
Alexander, can you show live tutorial of the composition and or synths used for ,problemes,? i always heard that as a kid and now adult trying to figure out that awesome sequence....tight bass notes....the song from national lampoon ,european vacation, when chevy chase is in the strip club? also do you get royalties from that film sync license?
Looking at this vintage equipment and with what feeling these guys play it, there is a feeling that they enjoy immersion in the 70s, 80s and 90s when they created such music in their youth. We are always young when we do things that had been carried through our lives. Like this!
@@AlexanderRobotnick you are the kind of person here that i aspire to be. this is the kind of music i love. it reminds me of “the falling mysts” by dimrain47 a bit, have you heard that?
Whoah I just stumbled on this. Fricking amazing! This is some true talent and some real music...really refreshing to see even though it's 13 years old.
I'm honestly thinking that this people are the proper creators of legendary electronic music... I love techno house (old stuff), but what this guys created that day should be an example for all the DJ s on this Planet. That's how the music should be created and honoured.
Um... serously? Electronic music - and its creators - are a LITTLE BIT older than 2009. That is, in case you were unaware of people like Vangelis, Tomita, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Larry Fast, Keith Emerson, and Wendy Carlos who were doing it in the previous millenium. ^_^
Alexander Robotnick is one of my favorite electronic musicians. Right up there with Plastikman, Morton Subotnick, The Orb, and Alvin Curran. Well done. Love this and all your videos. Thanks for uploading. LOVE the video changing what we see, the close-ups of the equipment, etc. Marvelous.
today I realized I was old, when two old codgers messing about with analog gear, making oldschool psytrance, 11 years ago reminds me of when I was young.
I think the definition of "Electro" as a genre of music doesn't fit too bad (for those still using wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_(music) ) but this work here is very iconographic, it could define its own genre.
While I agree what Robotnick does is a borderline new style, this is not electro. As a general rule, if it ain't syncopated, it most probably isn't electro.
One of my favourite TH-cam videos.... Ever! 2 old guys that can hack stuff together and build modules themselves to teach teens how to party... Yeah, got my vote! 🍻
I just looked one up on ebay. 2500 € is quite a price for the super rare original. Although there is a DYI-Kit to build an affordable replica of the Wasp named Jasper. With some electronic components especially made for this kit but the Jasper kits are mostly sold out too. Could you recommend Jasper? I think i understand enough from soldering and electronics so that i could manufacture these with proper schematics.
Many of us were part of that era....when we tried to play this music or similar, using Rolands,Korgs and all these wonderful devices. In some years (if not already) , young people will consider this video something like .... neolithic!! Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!
Love it: two guys inside spaceship streaming old-but-gold Berlin school music from outer space. Do not stop, please, we need it ! I am writing code listening it.

Absolutely not. Considering the amount of electrical equipment, synths, programmers, sequencers etcetc it still feels organic somehow.
