calculadora do kraftwerk

19Aug08

em 1981, o kraftwerk vendeu umas calculadoras casio vl-80 em seus shows. o modelo era capaz de tocar 100 notas musicais em duas oitavas, bastava tocar as teclas

que idéia de gênio foi essa? e quem tem uma pra leiloar no ebay??

ouçam “pocket calculator” aqui. na versão calculadora, é claro  =)

In 1981, Kraftwerk sold a nice merchandise item on their concerts: a Casio VL-80 calculator with Kraftwerk print on pouch and display, complete with a Kraftwerk songsheet. This Casio calculator is capable of playing a total of 100 musical keys over two octaves. To play a melody, the user has to type in the keys one-by-one. It is possible to speed up or slow down the playback, but the calculator has no rhythm capabilities. So the sound is, in a time of polyphonic ringtones, very crude.

This technological wonder of the early eighties was quite expensive, so only a few were sold at the concerts. The Kraftwerk notations are for the following songs:

Taschenrechner
Computerwelt
Radioaktivität
Neonlicht
Autobahn
Computerliebe
Die Roboter
Das Model
Metropolis
Trans Europa Express
Schaufensterpuppen

achei essa maravilha aqui. valeu, pessoa que postou  =)
