This is a 27-minute-long video about the Begena, a large Ethiopian lyre and an #Instrument that's heavily intertwined with Ethiopian culture and spirituality. The main focus is around Ermias who founded a workshop and school that manufactures and teaches Begena to the next generation and so keeps the tradition alive. #Music #Ethnomusicology #WorldMusic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAlD9nkJzLc And if you want to read more, here's their website: https://ermiasbegena.com

Wie „Blockflöten-Schröder“ den Corporate Spirit einatmet MARKSCHEID (dpoi): In den staubigen Hallen der Blockflöten-Schröder GmbH & Co. KG – seit 1894 Marktführer für C-Sopranflöten aus heimischem Birnbaumholz – roch es traditionell nach Sägespänen, Leim und dem kalten Kaffee der Frühschicht. Doch damit ist jetzt Schluss.

Okay, here's a long shot for the #Fedi hive mind. If you are in the intersection of "#musician or musician-adjacent in the 1980s" and "keyboard / #synthesizer aficionado", this one is for you. In the mid- to late-80s, I used to spend a lot of time in music / #instrument stores (not selling CDs, selling guitars and amps and drums and whatnot). Synthesizer tech was advancing rapidly at this point, with digital starting to overtake analog by leaps and bounds. At some point, one of the stores got a new #keyboard model in. I can't swear to it, but I think it was either a #Roland or a #Korg. This one had a floppy drive built in, on the side of the #synth. And they had a demo on a floppy disk that was incredible at the time. It wasn't an official #demo disk. It was a normal consumer floppy, presumably copied far and wide. Hand-Sharpied on it was the name/title "Amin Phone". It was a musical, bright and upbeat piece, rock/pop, maybe 30s long, and included digital samples of a person's voice. The entire thing was a ridiculous #answering machine outgoing #message. I think there was even a sampled voice at the end taken from someone leaving a message, commenting on it being over-the-top or something. "Amin phone" is unsearchable on the 'net. Everyone has a phone, and there are millions of people named Amin or el-Amin. Anyone else remember this? Anyone actually able to point to a recording of it? #KeyboardDemo #SynthDemo #AminPhone #Amin #AnsweringMachine #FloppyDisk
