HAINBACH & the Sonic Boom Sampler: Brüel & Kjær 7502 Goes Full Rave Bunker
Ever heard of a sampler built to catch a Concorde’s sonic boom? HAINBACH dives deep into the Brüel & Kjær 7502 Digital Event Recorder—the original hardware hack that accidentally became a street weapon for weirdos and sound adventurers. In a sharp, thoroughly nerdy interview with inventor Flemming Madsen, we get the lowdown on how a chunk of measurement kit found its way from vibration analysis to the hands of composers ready to break the rules. This isn’t your typical synth history—expect unexpected twists, a bit of gear envy, and a hard reminder that sometimes the best music tools start life
