i’m currently going track by track through a mix i recently did for a website called research and development - find out more here.

14. pyrolator - die haut der frau

the first of two tracks taken from robotsinheat.com. robots in heat is the best - it is galaxies, its disco, its psychedelic, its spandau ballet.

you can find out more about pyrolator (and buy pyrolator cds) here. an excerpt:

Kurt “Pyrolator” Dahlke. Specialist for music and computer. Founder of the record label and music publishing house atatak (more than 150 publications since 1979). Member of the groups “Der Plan ‘ and “Pyrolator”. He produced more than 150 records and CDs and was active on 40 publications as a composer, musicians and software programmer. His main instruments are the “Thunder & Lightning II” built by the Synthesizer-Pioneer Donald Buchla, with which he is controlling the music by the movement or the pressure of the hands. Productions, concerts and installations since 1980 in Korea, Japan, the USA, Argentina, West&Nord Africa, central and Eastern Europe.

the thunder & lightning, from what i understand, are midi controllers - touchplates that respond to tactile pressure and wands that effect sound based on what direction they are pointed and their relationship in time and space to each other. spacetime.
