stanton products sales info us dealers worldwide sales online dealers about stanton stanton history the stanton group cerwin vega.com krksys.com contact stanton stanton featured artist dj alex sonnenfeld inspired by top djs such as dj q bert dj d styles and kid koala alex sonnenfeld began his dj career at the young age of 14 . he is self taught often training up to 12 hours a day . today he is not only an active performing dj but a teacher as well eager to share his knowledge with others . the german born sonnenfeld has mainly worked as a hip hop dj but has also collaborated with rock and jazz musicians and has also worked on theater projects in his native country . he is perhaps best known for developing s notation a written notation model that covers all manual motions of a turntablist s instrument through the systematic representation of notation symbols . sonnenfeld s work on s notation spanned 14 years some of which he spent in constant contact with the composer professor karlheinz stockhausen 1928 2007 . stockhausen is considered one of the most important music scientists of the 20th century for his work in electronic music aleatory chance in serial composition and musical spatialization . sonnenfeld met stockhausen in 2002 when he attended a speech given by the professor . there he presented his s notation theory to stockhausen explaining his notation system . i remember he was extraordinarily surprised by it recalls sonnenfeld . soon after we became pen pals which then grew to him collaborating with me on my s notation project until his death in 2007 . sonnenfeld developed his s notation into the thesis bewegungslehre a scientific music analysis of turntablism that is currently under review with various music scientists in germany . his goal is to make turntable and mixer based music theory an accepted musical art form . if we consider the combination of a mixer and record player as a musical instrument in modern music explains sonnenfeld it should be theoretically possible to define all courses of action in the same similar and exact method as is possible with traditional equipment . he continues it should be possible to define the immeasurable variety of all established as well as still unknown scratch techniques through the same functional connection and therefore be decoded from a single technical formula . sonnenfeld uses the stanton st. 150 digital turntable and the m. 207 mixer to help put his theories into practice . this turntable and mixer have some of the strongest motors i have ever played on he says . it s really awesome and unique to have these in the market of dj equipment . the effect section on the m. 207 gives me the ability to augment my musical output and use this equipment as a full fledged instrument . the stanton st. 150 is a back to basics digital turntable boasting the world s strongest torque motor 4.5 kgf cm . made of heavy duty steel construction which minimizes feedback it also has an ultra stable platter and tone arm . stanton s m. 207 mixer is an affordable reliably rugged two channel mixer loaded with innovative features such as the fxglide a continuous strip touch controller that utilizes touch slider technology . providing real time capabilities it can also be automated in real time allowing djs to create a custom modulation of the fx parameter which can then be played back . sonnenfeld lives in berlin working as a guest professor at qbert skratch university . in addition to his teaching gig sonnenfeld also publishes video tutorials on his tonspielzug youtube channel and continues to work on various personal music projects including a new electronic music showcase based on his s notation music theory . his goal for the showcase is to bring a new approach to scratching in the electronic music scene inspiring others to treat the turntable as a new musical instrument . view all artists product categories previous next stanton videos previous
