.. as a result of a very constructive interview the german Fazemag printed some of my statements about what I do over here, and thats online now.

.. on a Buchla System needs some introduction and help mostly. Now Schneidersladen in Berlin installed a demosystem (see pic) to help you .. and finally to make it possible for you to buy your own

For appointments or any kind of questions please ask or send an email to Franz L in Berlin.

If you have any queries or problems with your existing 200e systems or other buchla products, please get back to the official importer and distribution company Alex4 per email, probably Holger Zapf will help you as soon as possible.

A documentary telling about electronics from Theremin over KGBs specialties to nowadays synth nerd scenes in Russia has been releases as Elektro Moskva .. should habe been seen ..

Several friendly people from Japan was visiting Schneidersladen in Berlin in the last few weeks, one of them was starting a blog writing a report on our showroom with many very good detailed pictures. Its good to see if you are abroad even if you do not understand the japanese explanations – that probably make it even better, thank you.

Introduced on Musikmesse just two weeks ago there is the MIDICLOCK to sync your DAWs with others now available from stock. Hieber Lindberg in Munich, Schneidersladen in Berlin and a few more retailers ordered some, we will post a list of availability asap, thank you for a little more patience.

Looking back to last weeks exhibition of ALEX4 on the musikmesse we collected some links here to give you an impression on what has happened there:
A nice overview of the athmosphere with no comments on this years ALEX4 stand in Frankfurt has been given with this video, that I found on vimeo, thank you.
If you want competent informations about mellotrons or memotrons you should have been talking to klaus (german), who collected all the sounds for manikin electronic, their latest release is “harrys collection” now.
Dieter Doepfer is introducing his news on modular basics and the black MAQ-sequencer starting with his Midi/USB to clock converter modul (AHH!) here in english.
MFB has been presented by Uwe-George Giegler in english on sonicstate, Sebastian Preller gave a short overview of the specials on the Tanzbär and Mister Fricke confirmed the soon delivery in german here.
Edmund Eagan plays on the Haken continuum with sounds designed on the new Eagan Matrix, Dr. Lippold Haken gives a german comment on his production place   .. and finally ..
Max and Max informing you about a new MIDIclock by Erfindungsbuero Rest und Meier here .. and .. then there was a little overview with sonic state and HerrSchneider .. (.. and: sorry no, I did not mean that buchla is hard to service – not at all!).
Unfortunately they all missed to show the Cacophonator noir by Subtle Noise Maker from Vienna.

Finally the DP-2 has been released. The new dynamic processor offers plenty of musical applications ranging from subtle treatment/enhancement to controlling your modular set with cv’s and gates/clocks generated using audio material thru the DP-2. Also availible for the moment is SPH-2 and RES-4.

.. über die vermeintliche Anarcho-Ökonomie von Andreas Schneider gibts im FAZEmag vom April 2013. Es ist nicht oft so, dass man einen Artikel über sich selbst empfehlen kann oder will, aber ich musste beim lesen gerührt schmunzeln und feststellen, dass der Autor mich wirklich auf dem richtigen Fuss erwischt und gut getroffen hat. Leider wohl nicht online, aber ein Printmagazine zu kaufen ist ja manchmal auch keine Schande.

Dr. Lippold Haken and Edmund Eagan will be showingt the possibilities of the fullsize continuum and their virtual modular for it during Musikmesse Frankfurt in Hall 5.1 stand C54. Here is a fresh review explaining the possibilities of this outstanding product with many soundsamples in german language.
