[#194] SEKRET MACHINE MUSIC, Part 3: Ampex, Musique Concrète, and the Nazi Origins of Hi-Fi Audio
Added 2024-05-25 22:16:50 +0000 UTCDimitri and Khalid resume their deep history of the synthesizer and electronic music, starting with some Pynchonian World War Two intrigues including:
Oskar Vierling and his Grosstonorgel (the Nazi “Strength Through Joy” organ), Vierling and the Gehlen Org, venerable NASA bigwig Winston E. Kock and Sigismund von Braun, psychedelic suslord Myron Stolaroff, Harold Lindsay, Walter Sested, and the Ampex/KPFA connection, Major Jack Mullen’s discovery of the Nazi Magnetophon, its transformation into the revolutionary Ampex 200A hi-fi reel-to-reel tape recorder, sus Bing Crosby, Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry, Karlheinz Stockhausen and musique concrète, the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, and White Russian aristocrat/OSS superspy Vladimir Ussachevsky’s deep relationship with the Rockefeller Foundation.

2024-05-27 00:09:17 +0000 UTCJust wanted to weigh in on the “weed” topic. I am a gardener for a living and I’m an amateur farmer at best at the moment, that being said: “weeds” are a completely subjective category, but not to say they don’t have real material consequences, especially in regards to agriculture but 99% of “weeds” are not harmful and actually MOST “weeds” are extremely important if not essential to healthy soil and microbiology, both in agriculture and decorative contexts and can be extremely useful in and of themselves. If somewhere is being “invaded” by “weeds” that’s because the cultivators of the land have taken a vital part of the ecosystem, or are adding harmful elements to that ecosystem. All organisms are essential to an ecosystem unless those organisms or elements are artificially introduced by people, and almost always those people who have ruptured the ecosystem are or were: capitalists, colonists, settlers, etc. Sorry to go off but I just wanted to put in my couple of cents. You don’t need to listen to me tho, just start by listening to Marcus at The Return of The Repressed lol and become Lysenko and Kammerer pilled lol.
