In this Electronic Beats podcast episode, Gesine has Axel Hartmann as a guest. The two talk about a topic that surrounds us every day and yet often goes unnoticed: industrial design. Axel Hartmann is one of the most renowned industrial designers in Germany and gained international fame primarily through his synthesizer designs. Over the last 30 years he has designed numerous modern classics, from the Waldorf Wave, Alesis Andomeda and the Access Virus Pølar to more recent synthesizers such as the Moog One, U.D.O. Super 6 and Waldorf Quantum. Axel has designed more than 200 musical instruments and played a key role in determining the ergonomics and technical structure. The beginnings of his career, sound discoveries, his first contact with a synthesizer, his fascination with polyphony and keys, new forms of synthesis, design processes and resource conservation, recognition features, electronic waste and sustainability are the topics of this podcast.
