Semibegun #08 | The Trautonium 09282022 by www.repeater-radio.com published on 2022-10-01T18:07:56Z https://repeater-radio.com/shows/semibegun/ This episode focuses entirely on one instrument: the Trautonium. Unlike its more popular early electronic siblings the Theremin and the Ondes Martenot, the Trautonium receives a bit of neglect. But with the level of timbral depth, warmth, and expressivity the instrument can achieve, it deserves a renaissance (preferably one that includes more than just adding the Hindemith pieces to the common practice repertoire). Until that happens, or perhaps to inspire such a thing, listen here to an hour of dulcet tones from Paul Hindemith, Oskar Sala, Peter Pichler, a German Coca-Cola commercial, sound effects from Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, and an array of YouTube enthusiasts keeping the warm sawtooths flowing.
