Thank you

Good crazy or bad crazy?

Thanks

@@mfirmanI spent the better part of an hour reading your site… you’re a very interesting guy!

@@pitchkinker Not sure about interesting in general (i.e. interesting to others), but I generally do things and explore things that interest me. I'm glad you find some of it interesting.

Thanks

Thanks.

Thanks. I will be performing this piece live in October (2024), and this was one of the experiments I'm doing to prepare.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Everything but the Mellotron was either the modular or the Lyra-8 controlled by various brain waves.

Thank you.

Yes, the Behringer reverb was something I just couldn't pass up. I, for the most part, don't like spring reverbs (generally too noisy), but for the price, I just had to. As it turns out, it is the quietest spring reverb I've ever encountered. It sounds great with the Mellotron (which is what I'm using it for here). The Plexes aren't being used here, but yes, they are wonderful.

@@mfirman I'm tempted by that unit as well. Thanks for the vote of confidence in it. It really sounds great here.

@@musicalmiscellany Thanks again.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks.

Thanks

Thanks for watching/listening.

Thanks.

Yes it's the Mellotron 400 bass flute sample (as it appears in the M4000D Micro instrument). Thanks for checking it out.

@@mfirman I've seen some iOS apps with the Mellotron sounds, might be worth looking at. Your piece reminded me a little of the alto flute that comes in around 2:40 on this piece. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNmal9udssq5Z58.htmlsi=D-sP50PkuJl1vynC

Thank you.

I put a phaser on the big gong for this, and I'm not so sure I like it. It does a nice job when I do a sustaining tone on the gong, but the individual gong hits were a bit washed out tonally. The next video with the gong will be gong with no phaser. But thanks for listening.

Thank you. It is a SoundMachines B1Braininterface. It is not being used for this video. It converts brain waves (sent to it by a BlueTooth headset) to CV of various types (from various brainwave types).

@@mfirman wow. i'm scared i asked.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks

Indeed.

Thank you Mr Rice.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Indeed.

Thanks.

It's pretty stable. I just have to be a little careful.

Thanks.

Very droney. Thanks for listening.

Go for it and let me see/hear the result.

I'm primarily a shakuhachi player and play in a traditional style. Every once in a while I combine it with the electronics. Sometimes it works, and sometimes, not so much. It, like all my musical explorations, is a work in progress.

Thank you.

Yea, it's the "Buchla Bongos" through a very funky dual-delay made by Soma Laboratories (it's a Euro version of the delay section of the Lyra). But yes, very atmospheric. Thanks.

Actually mine isn't that noisy when I keep the volume down and don't use the overdrive. For this recording I'm pumping it through a Warm Jet Phaser which is a bit noisy in its own right, but again I don't crank the mixer channels to the max. In the phones when nothing is playing, the only thing I hear is the faint sound of the Jet Phaser "Breathing" (they all do this).

Thanks BTW.

Thank you.

Thanks.
