    Wow, nice work! I really enjoy the filter you added to all your shots and the awesome soundtrack. Thanks for sharing!
  • ALEX 25 days ago
    Awww, shucks! Thanks. There was only color processing in post production for this video. The "filter" that you see is actually a lens called LensBaby. There are more LensBaby shots that you can see in my test video here: vimeo.com/711920

  • jeff chin 26 days ago
    Wow, how much does one of those run? I liked all the zooming in and out starting at 3:55
  • ALEX 25 days ago
    This synth would run you somewhere between $11,000 to $20,000. Thats just a rumor though. I do know that these fetch a pretty penny because of the small run manufactured. I'm hoping that Buchla will release a similar model in the near future... this video seems to be getting people excited about them!

  • Bartosz Barlowski 26 days ago
    whoa, this is really trippy. nice video, but I'm not sure I would be able to listen to this too long...

    Great video dawg. I only wish that it were longer so that I could zone out at work a little more.

  • kruzer 25 days ago
    Amazing.... this whole board and equipment is replaced by a $ 60.00 system that you can buy today :)

    Progress is cool.
  • ALEX 25 days ago
    I wish! Just the keyboard for this particular synth (chromatic, touch-sensitve) isn't something you're going to find on any old microKorg. Progress is cool, but not as cool as the Music Easel!
  • dalas verdugo 24 days ago
    Yeah, it costs money to get sounds this weird and high fidelity :)

  • ALEX 24 days ago
    No problem! I'm hoping to get more projects up and running that are similar to this. It was a blast to shoot and edit. Charles is a total Legend!

    trippy....just plain trippy....remind me to take some shrooms next time I log on....reminds me from back in the day....am I really that old? Love it....I'm a big Rebirth fan, so I know where yo're coming from....true emulation for the easel will never be made - it can't be....orion kinda came close, but still.....miles away....
    Question....how long have you had it?

    Oh...and nice vid...
  • ALEX 24 days ago
    It belongs to Charles Cohen, the wild-man who is making the sound. voicenet.com/~ccohen/
    He has had the machine since the 1970s.

  • Mike Gill 24 days ago

    great video!
  • ALEX 2 days ago
    Yes, or a loud bumpin ghettoblazter.
  •  
  • Matthew Burns 24 days ago
    That was hypnotizing. How did you achieve those perfect titles?
  • ALEX 24 days ago
    The entire thing was done with the LensBaby lens. Its an extremely versatile prime lens. I created the titles by setting the type on a video monitor. Then I filmed that monitor using the lens, creating lines of type to arrange over the footage.

  •  
  • Tom Guilmette 22 days ago
    nice to see someone incorporating the inside of the letus extreme for a video. i always push past all that.

    uninteresting approach.
  • ALEX 2 days ago
    Your videos are awesome, Tom. Means a lot coming from you!
  •  
  • Derek Scott 22 days ago
    very cool. love the use of the inner frame using the Letus. How did you get the extremely feathered edges in those shots?
  • ALEX 20 days ago
    Thanks! The lensBaby gives the blurry, feathered look.

  • Jon Carpenter 21 days ago
    I have been looking for an example of one of these. Thanks for posting this. I have had a recent obsession with old synths and this just continues it.
  • ALEX 2 days ago
    Yes, please email mr. buchla and ask him to release another easel!
