Jean-Luc Ponty used to use a sequencer to the same effect early in his career. But his electric violin could never have been thrown into a salad after a performance. |

And the tone itself, I am not sure it would be so clean with the soft (compared to most instruments) sides. And then there is he free hand drilling of holes and the fact that most of the notes sounded in tune at first listen.. I could go back, but it just sounds too good for freehand... I might have to listen again. |

I don't know anything about reed instruments, and couldn't play a clarinet if I tried. Too many holes, not enough fingers. Used to have a tenor sax that I played around with. Finally taught myself the scale and "The Saints". Gave it up though because the vibration of the reed drove me nuts. Come to think of it, I have an alto sax in the closet. Haven't even tried it. Never will either. Eisboch |

See, that's what's wrong with the universe in the age of the innertubes. Nothing is ever acceptable just as it is. The guy is a performance artist, has a huge national reputation in Australia (which can be found on a simple Gaggle search (I refuse to use the NAME THAT MUST NOT BE SPOKEN)) and builds odd and curious musical instruments. And it's not like you can't build instruments out of anything. How many of us who are musically inclined sat at our corporate desks and built something out of paper clips and rubber bands? I have in particular on a slow Friday afternoon. I mean, you can make music with anything. Plus, that's a freakin horse carrot. ~~ sheesh ~~ You guys need to open up your minds a little. ~~ mutter ~~ |

"RG" wrote in message m... Don't forget...you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish. RG Speaking of tuna ... hmmmm... I mean tuning. As an amateur (very) musician I have become much more proficient in playing in different keys on the guitar than I have on the keyboard. To solve this, I record the keyboard stuff in midi playing virtually everything in the key of C or Cm. Then, I load the midi file into either Cakewalk or another very simple (and free) midi sequencing program and transpose the whole thing to the key in which the song should be played. Then, I add an audio track playing the guitar. Save it as a .wav file and load it into "Audacity", (another free audio manipulation program) for final editing, balance and any effects I might want, then save as an Mp3 and burn to a CD. Lots of fun and keeps me off the streets. Eisboch |

At 2:58 it is turned off. Listen close and you can actually hear him step on the foot switch at 2:58. It's a sophisticated echo chamber. Do you remember as kids we used to sing rounds in music class (Row, Row, Row Your Boat)? It's exactly the same concept, except it is done solo. You lay down a basic foundation, recording and playing it back in real time. Then you build on the theme. Jean-Luc Ponty was a master at it. I'll see if I can round up (round, get it?) an example of an early Ponty recording from my collection and send you an mp3. RG |

I played woodwind instruments and the length of this instrument vs the pitch don't add up. It's been a while but I think the pitch would be higher. Of course, in theory I can't see why it wouldn't work, just not sure about this one... ------------------------------------------- I also find it hard to believe that the holes he arbitrarily drilled in the sides resulted in it being in perfect pitch with the synth. Nope. I also call BS. Oh, and there was no synthesizer. It was a sequencer. All the sequencer does is record and playback a loop of what is fed into it. The only thing the carrot was in tune with was itself. Question answered - it would be. I need to read up more on sequencers. Re-watch the video. At 1:31, the sequencer is turned on. At 2:58 it is turned off. Listen close and you can actually hear him step on the foot switch at 2:58. It's a sophisticated echo chamber. Do you remember as kids we used to sing rounds in music class (Row, Row, Row Your Boat)? It's exactly the same concept, except it is done solo. You lay down a basic foundation, recording and playing it back in real time. Then you build on the theme. Jean-Luc Ponty was a master at it. I'll see if I can round up (round, get it?) an example of an early Ponty recording from my collection and send you an mp3. RG Not exactly the same thing, but Les Paul (of guitar fame) invented the concept of "sound on sound" and "sound with sound" recording. He added heads to reel to reel tape decks and perfected the technique. The old recordings of him and Mary Ford used the technique and were super "high tech" for their day. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan0...racks_0107.htm Eisboch |

He really started it all. Most people only think of Les as a guitar player, of which he was a giant, of course. But few know of his profound love of and his innovations in recording technology. Quite a guy. |

Hey, did you ever get your hands on that Steve Winwood CD I recommended a
while back? |

Quite a guy. He acknowledges that he is more of an inventor than a musician. Still around, too and occasionally plays gigs with local bands. 93 years old. He's also the reason a Gibson Les Paul Standard is so damn heavy. He insisted on it for acoustical purposes, because the first solid body guitar he built was from a used railroad tie or something. When the first recordings were released using sound on sound, it took the industry by storm. It sounded like there were three Mary Fords singing together and nobody could figure out how it was done.

I sorta "hinted" that it would make an excellent father's day or birthday present to my wife. It worked, except she got "Steve Winwood's Greatest Hits". I think you recommended "Nine Lives". I'll check Amazon.com and order it right now, if available. Eisboch |

As an amateur (very) musician I have become much more proficient in playing in different keys on the guitar than I have on the keyboard. To solve this, I record the keyboard stuff in midi playing virtually everything in the key of C or Cm. Then, I load the midi file into either Cakewalk or another very simple (and free) midi sequencing program and transpose the whole thing to the key in which the song should be played. Then, I add an audio track playing the guitar. Save it as a .wav file and load it into "Audacity", (another free audio manipulation program) for final editing, balance and any effects I might want, then save as an Mp3 and burn to a CD. Lots of fun and keeps me off the streets. Eisboch I have been reading this amusing thread this morning and something came to mind. Have you noticed that a certain someone doesn't *contribute* to these light-hearted discourses? George Bush? Eisboch |
