A love of pure sounds
So I’m watching the Sound Test Room’s demo of a Behringer Wasp Deluxe, in prep for my Xmas present to myself of one, arriving imminently, for the ludicrously cheap price of £125 inc delivery.
I don’t really need this, (or arguably, any synth) but the first synth I ever actually touched in real life was an original Wasp owned by a rich kid in my class. I accidentally turned on the Sample & Hold, touched that crazy screen printed keyboard… and immediately began plotting a Marxist revolution which would see me liberating such magical devices from the oppressive bourgeoisie (the rich kid) and placing them in the hands of the heroic proletariat (me.) The Wasp Deluxe is pure nostalgia in hardware form for me.
My enthusiasm for electronic noises was ever thus: the Radiophonic Workshop, Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, the Nonesuch Guide, D.A.F. and on and on… As a non player, my obsession was always not could I play those tunes, or compose something like them (because I knew I couldn’t and never would) but could I make those noises - the actual sounds of these things, almost divorced from their utility?
I felt that way when I first heard a Syncussion in Bob Henrit’s West End drum store, years before he became one of the freelancers on the mag I edited (and just before I bought my JHS ‘flying saucer’/‘we have Syncussion at home’ equivalent.)
Felt that way when I bought my first cheap Alesis digital reverb, and turned my rented bedroom in White City into a deep dark Goth cavern resounding to the Casio CZ101 I then owned; felt that way when I first hooked up my Sequential Six Track to my Steinberg Commodore C64 sequencer and discovered MIDI multi timbrality; or when I somehow wrenched an amazing metallic scream from the battered Korg MS10 I rescued from a junk shop…
Just a pure love of the noises these things made.
Maybe it is because I am a non musician, and so the noises are all I have got, but I wonder if others here feel the same way about some of the sounds these things can make, and have favourites, not for their utility as ‘pads’ or ‘leads’ or ‘strings’ or whatever, as part of a track, but just for the visceral, experimental purity and joy of making electronic sounds in their own right.
Just me?
