Oskar Sala - Electronic Kaleidoscope (LP – Wergo/Spectrum)

This LP is in Very Good condition. The album has been stored in a 4 mil polyethylene 12'' record jacket sleeve since I bought it used many years ago. The inner record sleeve is the original paper one – the front cover is still very nice not mint, because it has normal handelling and shelf wear – no ring scuffing  - there is a used record store price sticker on the front cover - there is no sign of ring scuffing only a minor impression – the back cover is Very Good condition -  I’d say over-all it has little or no hint of storage and usage wear – I bought this many many years ago for my personal collection and it has been taken care of and played properly and gently. The vinyl itself looks perfect.

Oskar Sala (June 18, 1910 - February 26, 2002) was a 20th century German composer and a pioneer of electronic music. He played an instrument called the trautonium, a predecessor to the synthesizer.

Sala was a pupil of Friedrich Trautwein, the inventor of the trautonium, and studied with Paul Hindemith in 1930 at the Berlin conservatory.

Oskar Sala further developed the trautonium into the Mixtur-Trautonium. The Mixtur-Trautonium allowed for the first time in music history the execution of sounds which had only been known in theory since the Middle Ages, but were never actually playable. Sala's invention opened the field of subharmonics, the symmetric counterpart to overtones, so that a thoroughly distinct tuning evolved. Sala presented his new instrument to the public in 1952 and would soon receive international licenses for its circuits. That same year, composer Harald Genzmer delivered the score to the first Concert For Mixtur-Trautonium And Grand Orchestra.

In the 1940s and 1950s he worked on many film scores. He created the non-musical soundtrack for Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds. He received many awards for his film scores, but never an Oscar. He also did much work on German commercials, most notably one referred to as HB's little man.
