Discovering Electronic Music (1969-1983) Mini-Doc 22 min.
Nice short doc with great footage of Moog etc, but i especially enjoyed the images of those early music computers.
This film by Bernard Wilets was originally produced around 1969-70, but this reel that I present is the updated version from 1983 which includes new added Fairlight sequences with Rory Kaplan. The original sections are VERY 1969 and the color of this print is still remarkable. Great footage of Moog modular synths right in their heyday and lots of screenshots of waveforms and such. Is it coincidental that so much Bach is being played on the Moog? Calling Wendy Carlos! The film features several people who went on to make their names in electronic music, including Rory Kaplan, Douglas Leedy, and Jean-Claude Risset. by Fran Blanche
Enshitification!
Life is getting pretty expensive, and it is almost like the people who make the products and services that we all depend on every day just don't care! I mean.... Really!

"The Balloon!!!!" How to take down a spy balloon in a controlled manner In this Fran Lab segment, engineer Fran Blanche describes how you could take down a balloon like the Chinese spy balloon in the most controlled manner possible. This video was done before the balloon was actually shot down Saturday and it appears that they didn't do it this way, perhaps because they already knew most everything they needed to know about it and so preserving it largely intact wasn't a high priority. — Read the rest https://boingboing.net/2023/02/06/the-balloon-how-to-take-down-a-spy-balloon-in-a-controlled-manner.html
A different blast from the past
My favorite Fran Blanche is posting her old information films on the troll tube. This time: how newspapers were made. Back when we read newspapers. I damn near went into that business just as is was poised to fold and vanish. I actually traveled cross country and looked at a training centre for news press operators. I wish I could say it was dumb luck that I missed out, but it was really olympic-level procrastination.
