Synthesist Michel van Osenbruggen (Synth.nl) sent word about a recent visit from sound designer Rob Papen to van Osenbruggen’s Apollo studio.
Papen is working on an upcoming book and DVD on sound design and synths and visited Apollo studio – which has a fantastic collection of classic and modern synth gear – to film segments.
This video, shot by van Osenbruggen, captures Papen while filming and offers both a taste of Papen’s new project a view into a fantastic synth studio.
sweet bamajam. that is a lot of gear….
Very nice intro/outro music…..anyone knows if it is released somewhere ?
Hi, Yes that music is released 🙂 It is from the CD ‘Refuge en Verre’ by Synth.nl and Ron Boots,. You can find more information on http://www.synth.nl/Refuge. Thanks for the interest 🙂 Michel, Synth.nl
Looks like an introduction to synthesis kind of thing, with a history tour built in. Kind of funny they announced it as a “DVD”.
Dude looks a bit like Mr. Evil.
This guy knows too much about synths. Does he release music?
Btw I DidnĂźt know the arp 2600 was that small.
Rob Papen played in the Dutch band ‘Nova’ and ‘Peru’. Nova scored a international hit with the number ‘Aurora’. Rob Papen also released a solo CD.
