electronic virtuosity by oskar sala

in 1930 oskar sala studied composition with paul hindemith. he was an assistant to friedrich trautwein. in 1952 he constructed the mixture·trautonium (mtr) with electronic percussion. since 1958 oskar sala has owned an electronic studio in berlin, where he composes and realizes electronic music for film, radio, television, records, and theatre.

the mixture-trautonium is an electronic music instrument with relaxation oscillators to generate frequencies ; two manuals - two strings stretched over two metal bands ; two pedals ; stops for timbres and subharmonic mixtures ; an electronic percussion with random noise generator ; relay interrupter, and percussion switches.

to create an "electronic orchestra", the mtr is connected with studio equipment. the results are superimpositions of sound sequences with variations in the sound level, sound relationships, timbres, rhythms, dynamics and, in stereophonism, the location of the sounds in the room. according to the kind and numbers of combination switches selected, complex sound structures are built up.
