Holy cow...... this is amazing! I always wondered what the crazy genius behind Serge modular synthesizers was like as a person...... i'm blown away by how humble, self effacing and honest Serge Tcherepnin is! I got excited recently when i saw that some of his stuff was being made available for eurorack..... then it kinda died a death! Just like Buchla, i found his own systems were too expensive for me to afford....
Such a beautiful and engaging talk. Waveshaper TV, and Serge, Thank you for making this happen, perhaps this can be a part of a larger conversation regarding the magnificent journey of the Serge Modular Synthesizer. In all facets from it's inception into the current moment and moving forward. Perhaps a Serge Documentary . . . if not already considered. Thank you for all that you do.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks. It was difficult enough to convince him to do an interview at all. Also, there seems to be very little - almost no - archival photos etc available. It would be a tough documentary to make, and not something we plan to pursue.

Hi Serge, I had the privilege to meet you in L.A during the late 70s and you built for me a wonderful system that I used very extensively for may years.
one of the best clips on the net for us synth nerds! What a wonderful insight. I love this deliberate and open approach, that Mr. Tcherepnin shows us here. What a fascinating artist!
Wow, this is a beautiful interview, thank you so much! I started my DIY journey with Serge module kits from Elby in Australia and although I didn't have the stamina to build more than two modules, I'm still intrigued by the power and versatility of the designs.
Excellent interview. Wondered if you guys have considered interviewing Thomas Henry? I would love to see more interviews with circuit designers. Thanks!

I am trying so hard, not to splurge on Serge, because of the cost, but watching him talk about his experiences and gear, is giving me a serious synth woody.
It would have been amazing to be around this scene in the 60s and 70s, when the basic building blocks of synthesizers were being designed, built and integrated.
It's by Doug Lynner, the piece is called "Aeolian Arabesque" from his release "Modular Tonalism", you can find it here: douglynner.bandcamp.com/album/modular-tonalism
Yes, he is the son of Alexander Tcherepnin, and grandson of Nikolai Tcherepnin. The interview was filmed in the Paris apartment that Alexander lived and composed in, and there is an historical plaque outside to indicate that.
@@WaveshaperMedia wow! I played a few of his father's works in college and I admire his music a great deal. I've always wanted to learn more about A. Tcherepnin but now I'm curious about his son as well. Thank you for the reply.
He deserves a feature film documentary , with him of course, i hope someone could make that

Awesome video - thank you so much!! Unbelieveble that you managed to get Serge in front of a camera!!! ;-)
I am so happy to finally find this channel after five years...
Amazing circuits! I play his instruments every day.
Awesome! Very honored to be included in the soundtrack.

Cool interview. I like when the synthesizer has a mind of its own. Interesting sounds emerge from these kind of modular synthesizers.
This is a wonderful series of videos, thanks Waveshaper TV.
Excellent interview. Wondered if you guys have considered interviewing Thomas Henry? I would love to see more interviews with circuit designers. Thanks!
Thank you for this. An inspiring man.
What a great insight to his approach - makes me want to splurge on Elby's EuroSerge kits
Amazing ! Love the Filter comment.
"Its on film"
L♡L!
Nice job getting Todd and Subotnick on the soundtrack for this one! Great stuff
Excellent work, thank you!
Amazing interview.
It is so nice to see not only what is behind the modules but also who. And of course kudos for open schematics.
Great video and interview. Thank you for documenting Serge's work.
Serge modulars a smooth slice of heaven in a box! A genius just like Moog and Buchla.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this fantastic documentary! Seriously epic. 🌸

Hes a brilliant man.

Cool guy ...
Any relation to Nikolai or Alexander Tcherepnin?
Yes, he is the son of Alexander Tcherepnin, and grandson of Nikolai Tcherepnin. The interview was filmed in the Paris apartment that Alexander lived and composed in, and there is an historical plaque outside to indicate that.

Thick and rich as homemade chocolate pudding.
