Laurie Spiegel - Voices Within

Here is a numbingly beautiful piece of music by Laurie Spiegel entitled VOICES WITHIN (1979). It was recently discovered that some of Laurie Spiegel's music was used in the Hunger Games film. Hopefully this will bring some positive attention to this much underrated composer of such amazing music.

The voice all the warning sirens around the world going off at once during the night. And there is no one to shut them down. Because there is no one left in the world to be alarmed by it anymore.

Omfg .... What a scary picture u just painted!!!!!

The inner voices of machines are just as important as any human's inner voice.

One of the best pieces of music I ever heard. Really!

[@vlad_tapes]

Absolutely dark ambient

[@massimilianorusso4847]

I like it is a special sound ! And a special synth !

[@jayro3931]

This is my idea of classic electronic music!

[@Baribrotzer]

That's the big Bell Labs synth, one of the first digital synthesizers. My dad worked there, and I once visited him and saw it.

[@ceef8688]

damn, cool sidenote. I imagine a bunch of engineers standing around, saying "what is it for?" and the one who made it all hunched beside it, answering, "well... it makes that noise you heard."

[@DistractionCascade]

@@ceef8688 "well, it makes fart sounds"

[@xenmaster0]

The Bell Lab digital synthesizer was built using hundreds of TTL chips in 1975. It had 64 oscillators that could be chained for FM and/or summed for additive synthesis. It had formant filters that reduced output for each oscillator over a given frequency range, and interpolating 16 segment amplitude envelopes. You voiced each timbre with 2 envelopes, then the software interpolated between 'em depending on the velocity of each note. It had a pseudorandom noise (number) generator to add irregularity to LFOs. The Bell Labs digital synthesizer was designed by Hal Alles and you programmed it in C with a DEC PDP-10 via an RS-422 serial port. The commercial version of this synth was the DKI Synergy II+, programmed an outboard Kaypro 2. But the synth heard in this track is an analog synth using filtered noise and FM and pulse width modulated oscillators for the drone.

Bull fucking SHIT unless you can provide proof here.

Thanks for posting, Jose Cares. I like this.

This reminds of Dullmea on Hemisphaeria. The Axons (first and second) are this enigmatic and from another world. Underated, for sure...

Yes...underrated is the right word...shades of ligeti...not what could be considered relaxing lounge lizard music, but very involving, Amazing music indeed!

Reminiscent of a deep, dark Chicago commute to a well-worn minimum wage job at 7 am on a stuffed train filled with miserable, minimum wage workers also shuffling off their mortal coils to work on a dreary day after being stuffed on Turkey after Thanksgiving, hoping to catch a glimpse of a Black Friday sale for something other than food on sale.....

[@gerhardh.6239]

Genial!!

[@MegaCirse]

Cela me dérange que beaucoup de gens qui ont étudié la musique ne comprennent pas de telles œuvres modernes alors que les amateurs de musique non professionnels ont tendance à être beaucoup plus sensibles et compétents. Ce qui est pire, c'est que des professionnels ont tendance à devenir à la fois impudents et imprudents, voire franchement persistants à exprimer leur opinion délétère sur toutes les vidéos "avant garde" possibles. Un tel comportement m'interroge sur la qualité de leur éducation. Les voix intérieures des machines sont parfois toutes aussi importantes que la voix intérieure d'un humain !

[@DanielHeikalo]

Tout à fait d'accord!
