In den letzten 30 Jahren designte er zahlreiche moderne Klassiker, vom Waldorf Wave, Alesis Andomeda und den Access Virus Pølar bis hin zu aktuelleren Synthesizern wie dem Moog One, U.D.O. Super 6 und Waldorf Quantum. Mehr als 200 Musikinstrumente hat Axel gestaltet und dabei maßgeblich Ergonomie und technischen Aufbau mitbestimmt. Die Anfänge seiner Karriere, Soundentdeckungen, sein erster Kontakt mit einem Synthesizer, seine Faszination für Polyphonie und Tasten, neue Syntheseformen, Designprozessen und Ressourcenschonung, Wiedererkennungsmerkmale, Elektronikmüll und Nachhaltigkeit sind Themen dieses Podcasts.

Joining us on this Electronic Beats podcast is the iconic documentary photographer Bill Bernstein who talks with us fresh off the back of the recent release of his new book ‘Last Dance’. A photographic glimpse through Disco’s hey days at some of the genre’s most revered affiliate club spaces such as Studio 54, Paradise Garage and Mudd Club.

Bernstein’s work has captured the heart and soul of the Disco scene of 1970’s New York, the beginnings of club culture and its accompanying fashion, style and the feelings of freedom and liberation that come with it. He’s also been Sir Paul McCartney’s personal photographer since 1989, photographed Keith Richards and even delved back into the contemporary electronic music scene of New York to photograph the people of Brooklyn’s current nightlife and club circuit in the project ‘Brooklyn Nites’.
