The Ondes Martenot

As a frail mademoiselle she strides gracefully and lasciviously from one tone to another. With an elegance and sensuality you had never heard of an electronic instrument. Timeless as a Citroën DS she waves through the music, lusty and vibrating: Ondes Martenot! That such simple waveforms can sound so beautiful is not at all dependent on those waveforms. No, it's because of the subtle changes of frequency and amplitude of those waveforms. Immediately molded by the musician this creates an unprecedented expression. Linked to a harmonic spectrum that remains static are the typical sound characteristics of the Ondes Martenot.
