Ah, the past. About 23 years or so ago I had the pleasure of being a guest
at the home of Harald Bode, in Buffalo, NY. At the time I worked with his
son, Peer Bode, at the Experimental TV Center in Binghamton, NY. Peer and I
were in Buffalo for some reason (maybe to visit Woody and Steina Vasulka,
the video artists) and we paid a visit to Peer's father. As you probably
know, the elder Bode invented a lot of amazing audio equipment, including
the vocoder and the frequency shifters mentioned in the link below. I got
to play around in Mr. Bode's home studio and in particular with a frequency
shifter. I remember hooking up a primitive rhythm box to it and shifting
the heck out of the bongos. I still have a cassette tape of that session
lying around somewhere.
