Second part of a visit to German musician, composer, physicist and electronics engineer Oskar Sala (*18 July 1910 † 26 February 2002) on 28 January 1997. The creator of the famous "Mixtur-Trautonium" works and composes in his studio for electronic music in Berlin, Heerstrasse. Among aged tape recorders, effects units and customised audio-equipment, Sala addresses himself to the newly constructed Semiconductor Mixtur-Trautonium (1988), which has been built after his construction ideas by a team of professors and students of the former "Fachhochschule der Deutschen Bundespost Berlin".

This is a "gold video" for the history of electronic music and about her pioneers, engineers and "alone on the world"-players of a unique electronic music instrument.
It's interesting to hear these stories of the past, one is baffled by how he coped with the workload of performances while still developing the instrument in those early days.
This is most excellent! Thank you for posting this.
