Musikmesse 2012: This video, via AudioCentralMagazine, captures a demo of the Trautoniks Trautonium – a modern version of the historic Trautonium.
The Trautonium is an electronic instrument, created in the late 1920’s by Friedrich Trautwein in Berlin. It was developed, with the help of Oskar Sala, throughout the 20th century.
The Trautonium allows for expressive playing, with continuous control over both pitch and volume.
The modern Trautonium is built to order by Jürgen Hiller of Trautoniks.com.
I like the way that, as he adjusts the knobs and switches, the sound doesn’t change.
