a shamanistic evocation….
the utterance of mediums….
and now I am completely covered in ashes and ectoplasm.

if art is transforming found objects to come to a new understanding, then this is definitely a benchmark. and if luck is finding an inexpensive phonorgan that sounds like it has a 13-pin output jack, you’ve hit the aural motherlode!

Masterfully crafted, cinematic, expansive, magical. Simply a delightful listen.

You got yourself a bargan on that one, the sounds are great! I don’t know wich synth it is got a number of diffrent pictures from diffrent synths, but I like to have one :)

And it sounds just like all the others said, it puts me in a trance

Sorry, I fixed the link. It’s just a cheap kid’s toy from Sears, from the sixties? seventies? Mine is just like the one in the pic except it says phonorgan instead of phono organ. Of course I played it with one finger on the kaoss pad and did additional fxing in soundforge.

Spellbound every second of the song. This is important music. Is that you singing?

Yes, that’s me daring myself to sing. There may be more of that in future, no one LOLed (yet).

I’m a bit ahead of you, (having started to sing on my recordings one and a half year ago) so I’m definitely aware of the journey you’re on. The most frustrating parts for me have been when I know exactly how I want something to be sung and I just can’t achieve it. Makes me angry..:)

There’s a high degree of synchronicity about this whole project…
Like your phonorgan, the words were put together from ‘found objects.’ (From memory it was about ten totally random words.)
Your soundscape adds another complete dimension to the surrealism.
Thanks for taking the time to do this, Speck. I think we have something quite unique here.

Thanks for sharing. I’d exchange unique for unusual (aint nothin new under the sun) and then agree.

Very cool, if your gear wanted to come to life and make music on its own when you left the room I imagine it would sound something like that.

That’s an interesting comment, and appreciated. I subscribe to the artistic ideal of finding/allowing the balance between making it happen and letting it happen.

I can tell that, but not quite what I meant. Here’s better way of saying it:

If I was hired to score for a movie about spontaneous generation, machines that self-organized, I would hope to come up with something similar to this. It has an ‘emergent phenomena’ sound to it. : )

Gripping. Intense. Love the sound of that phonorgan… So creative to use it with kaoss pad… fun, too, I would imagine. You seem like a kaoss pad type person. ? :)

Quote: Mind Map That!You seem like a kaoss pad type person. ? :)Yeah, I’m touch sensitive. But seriously folks, I haven’t used it near as much as I thought I would when I bought it, but it’s nice to know it’s there when I want it.

I’m pretty sure the same is true for my bandmate’s kaoss. We used it a ton when we played shows regularly, but when we get together to create music it’s rarely touched. But dude, it’s completely awesome in the live setting. We’d run the synths, beats, electric guitar, etc. through the kaoss and my vocals/ guitar straight to the mixer… fun contrast.
