Description:

Inside a crumbling socialist office block in former East Berlin, synthesiser store owner Andreas Schneider preaches the way of analogue to a loyal following of infamous electronic musicians, who flock to his store, ‘Schneiders Buero’, for unique boutique instruments. His business has prospered against the odds throughout the digital revolution in music, and in parallel, through a period of huge change in East Berlin. His is a haven for maverick instrument builders and passionate collectors alike. But as the twin forces of capitalism and digital technology seep through the last bricks of the Wall, how much longer can this analogue asylum survive?

…and here’s my 1st pure Manta video.

Til today the basic video source material is more than 1 year stored in the GB spaces of my harddrives. Til now i used only sometimes a short clip to include it in my music videos as background atmosphere.

All video scenery which you see in this 10 min clip is filmed while a 1 hour dive at the Manta Point near Bali in 2008. I’ve also Manta records from one more 1 hour dive at the same spot. That i’ll use for further video in the next time. Hope to get the time before my upcoming holidays

The music is made with my A-100 Analog Modular System and Novation’s X-Station 25.
