Secret early electronic music research by Philips in 1956

mrsoreto — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:14:49 +0000

Philips was and is an innovative company, it brought us the cassette, the compact disc and the DVD. But in 1956 it secretly researched the posibilities of contemporary electronic music. There seemed to be a great future in it.

They asked acoustic engineer Dick Raaijmakers if he could make a real popular modern tune with the electronic equipment, to hear what was technically possible. Raaijmakers career at Philips started at the bottom, on the assembly line. But he worked his way up to “acoustic engineer”.

In this new position he found himself surrounded by the most advanced experimental equipment, and more than ten professional recorders, on which he made his dubs and sound-effects. All handmade by cutting, layering and splicing tape. The results were impressive. Even now his first commercial song “Song of the Second Moon” from 1957 still sounds remarkably fresh.

Raaijmakers worked under the pseudonym “Kid Baltan”, his work-nickname reversed (NatLab Dick)

His first song “Song of the Second Moon” from 1957 on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsk6AcjQF24

An awesome set of printed gear boxes, lit up and mounted on the wall, driven by a series of universal jointed shaft drives. Totally pointless and totally awesome!

Nyan BART

I took this picture of a nyan cat sticker on the map of the San Francisco bay area public transit system, BART. The cat’s right where all four colored lines go over the Bay Bridge, so it takes advantage of the map’s implied rainbow. I love it.
