Zinovieff was co-founder of EMS and was instrumental in the development of the VCS3 Synthesizer. Electronic Music Studios Ltd. (EMS) was formed in 1969 by Peter Zinovieff, Tristram Cary, and David Cockerell, partly to fund Zinovieff's experimental music studio. The VCS3 was nicknamed 'The Putney' after the location of Zinovieff's London home and was their first commercial product. When contemporary alternatives from early synthesizer companies such as Moog and Buchla would take up entire walls, EMS provided a comparatively compact version of the electronic studio, hence the name 'Voltage Controlled Studio' (VCS). The VCS3 was modular but made use of a 16x16 patch matrix which minimised the need for patch cables to connect separate modules. The synthesizer soon found its way on to the soundtracks of popular TV programmes like 'Doctor Who' and on numerous popular albums. The VCS3 was prominently featured on tracks by Pink Floyd (such as Dark Side of the Moon's 'On the Run'); The Who (the 'Won't Get Fooled Again' intro includes Lowrey organ processed through a VCS3); Roxy Music (where it was played by original member Brian Eno who went on to use it on his solo albums); Led Zeppelin (played by John Paul Jones on 'Four Sticks'); Hawkwind, King Crimson, Jean Michel Jarre, and Tangerine Dream, among others.

* Milstein (Nathan, 1903-1992). Russian-American violinist. Rare and important Autograph Music Manuscript of an apparently unpublished and undocumented realisation for violin and piano, of the Sonata in D minor Op 2 no 3 by Antonio Vivaldi, written in blue ink on printed music paper, with some autograph corrections in red pen and pencil, the full title, autographed in Milstein’s hand, being ‘Sonata III’ / re minore / Antonio Vivaldi / Realizzazione N. Milstein / 1963’, four movements: Preludio (Andante), Corrente, Adagio and Giga (Allegro), 5 pages on 3 stitched bifolia, folio (35 x 27 cm)QTY: (1)NOTE:This highly important manuscript highlights Milstein’s level of musicianship. He is not only outstanding in his understanding of violin technique, but is also adept at ‘realising’ the keyboard part, so vital to the success of baroque sonata composition and performance. Famous for his interpretations of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto - as well as having given the first performance, aged 10, of the Glazunov Violin Concerto with the composer conducting - Milstein’s career lasted 72 years. He wrote a number of transcriptions and realisations throughout his life and this particular one is apparently unpublished and unrecorded. It is not mentioned in any of the available Milstein literature and is specifically not mentioned in Milstein’s autobiography From Russia to the West: The Musical Memoirs and Reminiscences of Nathan Milstein which was co-written with Solomon Volkov.
Commodore PET 2001 ("Blue PET"), 1977Er gilt als erster massentauglicher Personal Computer der Welt. PET steht übrigens für Personal Electronic Transactor. Neben dem "TRS-80 Model I" und dem "Apple II" war er ein Personal Computer der 2. Generation (nach der 1. Generation wie Altair 8800, IMSAI 8080, SOL-20, Apple 1 und ähnlichen). Er war einer der ersten Rechner, der sowohl Tastatur, Monitor als auch einen Massenspeicher (Kassettenlaufwerk) in einem Gehäuse vereinte. Dazu war der Rechner sofort und ohne umständliche Startprozedur einsatzbereit, da beim Start automatisch "BASIC" geladen wurde. Die Tastatur des ersten "PET" war sehr unpraktisch - auch boshaft "Mäuseklavier" genannt - und von den Taschenrechnern, die Commodore zuvor produzierte, übernommen worden. Einen Lautsprecher bzw. Sound hatte der PET 2001 allerdings noch nicht. - Das angebotene Gerät ist eine sehr frühe Version aus 1977 (siehe Aufdruck auf Motherboard). Originalzustand mit schönem Gehäuse. Nach dem Einschalten erscheint die typische Startmeldung "7167 bytes free". Ein kleines Programm läuft einwandfrei. Start Price: EUR 500 Zustand: (2/2)Commodore PET 2001 ("Blue PET"), 1977Early version from 1977, without loudspeaker or sound, in very good original condition, with attractive case. After turning on, the typical start-up message "7167 bytes free" appears. The PET has been tested and able to run short programs. - Note: The Commodore PET 2001 is considered to be one of the first mass-produced Personal Computers. PET is an acronym for Personal Electronic Transactor. Together with the TRS-80 Model I and the Apple II, the PET was a computer of the second generation, close on the heels of first generation machines like the Altair 8800, IMSAI 8080, SOL-20 and Apple 1. It was one of the first machines to include a keyboard, monitor and a mass storage device (cassette drive) within one housing. The computer was ready to start immediately and without complicated installation procedures because BASIC was loaded automatically at start-up. The keyboard (also called chiclet keyboard) on the first PET was difficult to write with because it had been carried over from previously produced calculators. Start Price: EUR 500 Condition: (2/2)
