Descripción de "Slideshow" - with Grundig Sono Dia:

Again this is an original melody I made back in 1994. At that time I had the crazy idea of making a music video using an automatic slide synchronizer. That is a little gadget that is set up next to an open reel tape recorder. Instead of going directly onto the take-up reel after beeing played the tape goes through the synchronizer where inaudible signals recorded onto the tape makes it activate the shift mechanism of the slide projector. I didn't have a video camera at that time and digital cameras was still unavailable. So this idea was born out of the "be creative with whatever you have" idea. Unfortunately my music-video-slide-show never materialized - primarily due to lack of time. But I did take some pictures that I was going to use for the show. Lately I was going through my old slide boxes and found these pictures. And instead of just letting them be forgotten forever I decided to make a little demonstration on how this wacky music multi-media thing would have looked. And instead of the missing pictures that I didn't get the chance to make I show how the equipment works. The music is made using the toy keyboards Kawai MS-20, Bontempi KS-3400, Casio SA-1, Casio SA-3 played through a Boss OC-2 octaver pedal, and the Mattel Synsonic Drums drum machine. The only proffesional instrument used is the Roland SH-2000 synthesizer.
