Hi all, maybe you are interested in how my pre-BiaB music sounded? I just digitized a video I made 20 years ago for continuing education of teachers. You won't be interested in the technical details at the beginning but surely in the video clips starting at 14:55. The task in the workshops was to record and edit videos to a given music in the camcorder synchronously. It was way before BiaB and the music was totally handmade by using a sampling keyboard. The first two clips were made by groups of musical teachers, the third one by a group of high school students (which is the best in my opinion). The fourth clip was made by my video project team at my school. The music for that was made with the help of a little Yamaha QY70 sequencer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr755u1K-BI
I hope you enjoy. Guenter

That was fun to see, Guenter.
Looks like you all had fun making it.
The last "story" seemed quite bizarre...

Hi Floyd,
thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes, it was fun making it.
To understand the last clip a little bit
better: It was based on an old German
traditional folk song (volkslied). Here is
a translation:
"There were two royal children who loved each other very much.
But they could not come together, the water was much too deep.
Oh dearest, can't you swim? Please swim here to me.
I will light three candles. They will give light for you.
There was a dishonest nun who shammed being asleep.
She blew out the the candles and the youth drowned so deeply.
A fisherman did not search for long until he found the dead body.
Now you cry, my dear maiden. Here you've got your prince.
She took him in her arms and kissed his the pale mouth.
It must break her heart. She sank into death at this very hour."
By the way the singing off-key was deliberate. When you observe carefully you will find out, that Procol Harum's
"Whiter Shade Of Pale" was interweaved with the old traditional melody.

Wow, don't know what to say that was a fascinating watch, such creativity. And syncing and editing in those days of tape, wow, I am impressed. I was only dreaming of that then, still am  . Yamaha was indeed the sequencing force in those days, I had a QX5 as a sequencer and 2 drum machines RX21 and 21L and a couple of FB01's and now wish I too could find the music I did then. But my efforts were nowhere near as excellent as shown in that video. You are a talented man,Guenter, as if I didn't know that already from your remixes. Brilliant Alyn

Guenter, this was an enjoyable watch
I really liked the way that at 15:40 the phone is ringing in synch with the rhythm, even though phones with that ring style normally ring in 5/4 time - yes, Paul Desmond must have worked alongside Alexander Graham Bell!
There was a bit of Pet Shop Boys and Devo in there somewhere.
The last one needed sub-titles, I'm sorry, I didn't understand
Must have been fun to put together!

Hi Alyn,
from your comments I see that you understand
and appreciate what we did in those times.
I'm very fond of that.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Trevor,
thanks for listening and commenting.
"The last one needed sub-titles, I'm sorry, I didn't understand"
Youtube gives the opportunity to put sub-titles to a video.
That's what I did (starting with 23:40). You just click that little square in the bottom right beside the clock sign.

Guenter, Those clips were incredible to watch. Considering where technology was 20 years ago, you've done a brilliant job assembling everything. It was also interesting to read your comments through this thread and to learn more about it all. I see that your talent stretches back a long way! Terrific work! Noel

Hi Noel,
thanks a lot for watching and commenting.
I like it a lot that you can appreciate
what we did 20 years ago. It was very tricky.
Making synchronous videos today is a cakewalk.

Thank you for the explanation. I recognized the melody a bit but would have never remembered where I heard it.

Hi Lawrence,
thanks for watching and commenting.
A Whiter Shade of Pale is from 1967.
No wonder it can get forgotten.

Guenter,
About all I can say is that you were light years ahead of your time. I watched with amazement, always being taken by surprise. And, I might add, I really enjoyed the technical details but mostly for the beautiful German, so clear and precise.
Thanks for this typically unique contribution.

Guenter you are way above my head with all this video technology and I applaud you for what you were able to accomplish. The video splicing reminded me of the days I use to splice reel-to-reel tape (ugh!).
