Trevor Horn Interviewed


An interesting chat with the god that is Trevor Horn. In it, he talks about Fairlights, Synclaviers and many other interesting topics. Quicktime is required.

Sadly, the interviewer is a total knob end. Rude, dull, distracting and unable to ask decent questions. Ignore him, listen to Trev :o )

Part 1

Part 2

Enjoy :o )

Zappa and his Synclavier

Found via the Synclavier auction in my previous post….

Peculiar Synclavier auction(s) on eBay

Taken from the following auctions…

1, 2, 3 & 4

Found the following items for sale on eBay this morning. All of these are being sold by the same bloke. Basically, he has split his Synclavier II into the keyboard, the CPU, the monitor and QWERTY keyboard and the cables and connectors. Very peculiar and most inconvenient for someone who wants to buy the whole system. Imagine winning the keyboard and CPU, but not the cables !!

Anyway, some nice piccies….

There are also some nice YouTube vids there.

Synclavier video feat. Stephen Lipson

Via the Fairlight Mailing List.
A UK video clip featuring Howard Stableford interviewing Stephen Lipson at SARM West. He’s using the Synclavier and we also get to see the gorgeous Claudia Brucken of ACT, as he records Snobbery and Decay. It prompted me to dig out some Propoganda tracks, like the classic Dr Mabuse.

Synclav.com


Noticed a banner for this site on Vintage Synth Explorer this morning. It’s a fairly simple site, but worth checking out :)

The one strange thing is the URL for the site is fairlightcmi.com ???
