Modular synthesizer of Donald Buchla Presentation & workshop with Volkmar Klien
The Buchla modular synthesizer (1966/67 model) of Ernst Krenek’s estate is an impressing sound machine from the downright pioneering days of electronic sound synthesis. After careful refurbishment in 2017 induced by the Ernst Krenek Institut, the device is back in good working order and best condition. What once came up as a promise of an unheard sound future, is now part of music history and of tradition itself. For several years now, analogue synthesis modules have been representing the good old, rather than the wholly new. Nevertheless, each technical alteration and innovation transforms the whole setting. Possibilities of direct technical control of pitch and sequence shift the position of musical work away from the score. Musical order is expressed by control voltage directly and thus the long-standing order and relations between composition, interpretation and dissemination have changed deeply. The purchase of the very expensive machine illustrated Ernst Krenek’s astounding openness towards new approaches of musical production, despite his advanced age at that time. Our present age with its flooding of advances in the field of post-digital musical instruments and new composition tools question traditional ways of production and making music. Volkmar Klien will introduce Ernst Krenek’s Buchla synthesizer and show possibilities of integrating the machine into hybrid digital-analogue systems.
