The Enchanting LoFi Textures Of An Optical Sound Sampler

Listen to the “Talentmaker Takes“ EP on my bandcamp: The Chilton Talentmaker is one of the first samplers, or rather loop players. Like the slightly more famous Mellotron, it allows playback of recorded instruments, but it can play them back as loops. This allows for all kind of endless playback of music, from “German Band“ and “Polka Band“ to “Waltz Guitar“, made famous through Michel Gondry’s “Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless mind“ soundtrack. The Chilton and its close relatives, the Optigan and Orchestron, were used by Kraftwerk, David Lynch, Tom Waits, The Clash and many more.
