    Has anyone ever interviewed Oskar Sala's nextdoor neighbors to find out what it was like living next door to him? Police records of noise complaints? He obviously had a brilliant mind with an ability to remember what each and every switch, knob, other controls did on the Trautonium. Admittedly, Oskar Sala, was a very innovative sound effects musician and composer. How did he transpose his compositions to musical scores for others to read and perform? What a musical score for motion picture sound tracks like Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds", must have looked like on paper.

    I had the honour to meet Mr Sala in the early 90tees, when he presented it near to our university in NRW. I had an intensive talk to him and the possibilities of electronical music, MIDI and that all. It is so impressive what this instrument can do! The sounds were superb and still overcame most electronic synthesizers of that time! First some years later in the mid of the 90tees, VA-Synthesis gave as similar opportunities.

      ich hatte Ihn zur Sonnenfinsternis 99 in Kalsruhe gesehen... Alfred Hitchcock hatte zum normalen Drehbuch ein Musikdrebuch geschrieben. Wenn es dich interessiert, Ammer & Console haben dieses vertont und gehen im Vorwort auf Trautonium ein und dann schritt für schritt durch das Drehbuch.. hören Sie hier

    Revelation: Subharmonic Generator.
    By electronic devision it produces four different subtones (= chord) from a single master tone, thus generating an eight-tone chord on both manuals. The subharmonic chord (basically minor scale) can be varied by its mutable frequency ratios, stored into three different presets and selected by foot-pedal during recitation. These one-finger subharmonic chords can sound in every pitch, even as glissandos, without changing their intervals.

Who wonders: I denied. - After Gerhard Schröder's KlangArt Festival laudation, who became later on Bundeskanzler of Germany, no more more sponsors for this congress could be found.
