It’s Sunday! That means we take a slight break from the non-stop electronic music news coverage and break out the Sunday Synth Jams – new and classic examples of musicians making interesting music with synths and electronic music gear.
You may have seen this one before, because it’s a vintage synth jam from 1977. But it’s Klaus Schulze at his Moogtacular prime…..
If you ever need a definition of Berlin School electronica, this is it!
Tune in, turn on and space out as Klaus Schulze plays live, WDR Köln 1977.

This is a teaser video for Retrotech, an electronic music concert composed and performed live by keyboardists Carlos Trilha and André Dessandes.
Retrotech recalls the “belle epoque” of electronic music.
Details:
On stage, Trilha and Dessandes use synthesizers, analogue sequencers and drum machines from the 70’s and early 80’s. These historical instruments evoke the origin of characteristic electronic sounds that are now widely used in many types of pop and electronic music.
A unique detail of this production is that they do not use loops or sound libraries. All the sounds are created from real instruments and are first generation, allowing Retrotech to make a striking reinterpretation of the classic sound of electronic music.
In addition, Retrotech also uses a special set of projection images from generative code (created in real time), synchronized by software written with MAX/MSP/JITTER by ALESSANDRA MARFISA specially for each performance.
