- Discovered this really strange and delightful piece in the intermission of a NY Philharmonic radio broadcast recorded onto reel to reel. Jim Fassett was the announcer for the NY Philharmonic weekly radio broadcasts for decades and apparently they let him do some wild creations on his own time. I don't know quite how to describe this - a sound effect record? A gag reel? Jim just messing with the radio broadcast audience? Listen and tell me what you think it is!
It turns out this is the second of a few of these "Strange To Your Ears" pieces Jim eventually compiled into a record on Columbia Masterworks:

Interesting concept on critical thinking, philosophy and storytelling to help one make better sense of the world of sounds.
It's very well done. Be seeing you!
I have that Columbia LP-astounding!
Awesome! I'm going to start looking for it on Discogs.
The full album is presented here in its entirety. th-cam.com/video/4Ip9rlCpemM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4nP1h4l6HGIy41ZC
Got my own vinyl copy of it this week!
Yes, yes…. We all know the Schubert.
Ah yes, Shubert, the Oh woe is me song!!
Tonal kaleidoscope? Cool!
Everyone needs one at home!
Any analogue synth player should appreciate this. excellent!
Absolutely! In fact I am one - check out my other channel :) www.youtube.com/@visitingdiplomats1104/videos
@@MarchantTapeArchive That's funny so am i! Just having a break from messing around on my Yamaha CS30, recreating birdsong, having seeing this video. i will check your other channel out.
Any CS is an awesome synth! Enjoy :)
Not messing with the audience. He's introducing them to some of the most basic atoms of electronic music production. Is this the 1950s or 60s? Before the George Martin and the Beatles these sort of effects would be unknown to general music listeners.
Back in the 50s and 60s there was an expectation among the avant garde that these electronic bleeps and bloops were the future of "classical" music. Didn't happen. After a few decades of flogging the idea, I hope they've given up.
It's awesome stuff. I'm going to try to find the full set on record. George Martin's work on The Goon Show started shortly after this so maybe there's a chance it was an influence.
@@MarchantTapeArchive It was already in the air for both of them. Clever people had already noticed that you could play a phonograph record faster or slower or even backwards and get these effects. But *tape* made it all much more controllable and editable.
This is great. Reminds me of "War of the Worlds" on the CBS radio network. The different sounds on my 2 RTR players happen not by design, but by accident.
Agreed! Definitely worth tracking down the entire thing on discogs (link in the description).
