Abstract
This article describes the development and eventual closing down of the research lab for inter-disciplinary problems in musical acoustics (Forschungslabor für akustisch-musikalische Grenzprobleme) at the Technical Centre for Radio and Television Broadcasting (RFZ) in Berlin-Adlershof. It discusses the design and building of the Subharchord electronic synthesizer, and the situation of that device within the social, economic and aesthetic contexts of the GDR. The instrument is presented as well as the background of the idea of subharmony. Finally, some musical works produced with the Subharchord in the lab are discussed.
