The wonderful world of ISO standards Mrs Bobins is trained to audit to various ISO standards..... so I know more than is strictly necessary about them

I can just imagine the joy in the bobins household when the odometer on any of your vehicles ticks over onto a popular ISO standard number. The "significant" milages thread awaits should such a momentous event happen

Regards Neil

Ive only gone and ended the month in my new electric car, and the month-end odometer has landed on an ISO Standard number....

Anyone like synthesisers?

Ken Freeman made his own , called it the Freeman Symphonizer...and the link....he was the composer of the "Tripods" theme tune mentioned elsewhere on the forum.

Its an educational watch even if you arent a synthesiser fan

You will have heard Ken's Work....an integral part of the sound of "War of the Worlds" Jeff Wayne, and while not everyone may have watched the "Tripods", evryone will have seen/heard "Casualty" and its theme.

I did like synth when it was Walter/Wendy Carlos and Jean Michel Jarre doing it but not so much recently. Although Kazoo weren't bad.

What a video - loved it!

One more Walter/Wendy Carlos aficionado here - original LPs, and a collector's CD boxset; Switched-on Bach, The Well-Tempered Synthesizer, By Request, Switched-on Brandenburgs, as well as the extraordinary film-score for A Clockwork Orange. Brandenburg No.3 still gets me going after almost fifty years!

There was also Isao Tomita, who did for Debussy what Carlos had done for Bach, Beethoven and Monteverde.

Remember some of the early synth experimentation, including that done by Delia Derbyshire at the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop. Tape loops, dustbins, milk bottles, an old loo, springs, FX Dept... Thank goodness for Doctor Who!

While teaching, an old upright grand piano finally gave up the ghost and died, and the money to replace it bought a brand new VCS-III synthesizer and a couple of Casio electric pianos. The music department never looked back: I even had to build them some beefy hi-fi speakers to go with it all. This was '70s W.Sussex, and after 1974 we had ever-decreasing amounts of money. Over the following decade or so many of us divided our time: raise money by creative means, and spend it through various self-help schemes. This meant building things, and even painting classrooms. In my AV Resources department, I had a yearly budget allowance of around £2k, but regularly spent the thick end of £40k on provision, by creating income as well as administering it. The alternative didn't bear thinking about. All decidedly off-topic... . Oops...
