Tubular Bells

Came across a couple of people playing with sound in tubes today.

Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm

The electronic looking box in the video is a Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm, the first actual drum machine from 1978. Used ones are still available.

Since we are looking at electronic black boxes, here's a couple of shots of a strange looking box from the Nexflix series Kleo.

Black box with blinking lights hanging on the wall in Uwe's garage in Kleo season 1 episode 4 just after the 30 minute mark and the 50 minute mark.




It plays no role in the story, it just hangs on the wall, blinking its lights. I have not been able to identify it and I even asked reddit but I have not received any response. Let me know if you recognize it. The show is set in East Berlin in 1989, when the Berlin Wall came down.

Here's the original tune, in case you have forgotten, or maybe you never heard it. I mean it came out in 1973, so for pop music, it's old.
