Make You Own Mellotron
:: Posted by Roostar on July 03, 2009
There’s a whole world of people into ’circuit bending’. If the Walkman/Mellotron experiment freaked you out you won’t want to see what they do with children’s toys. Although I don’t have much of a clue about electronics I do enjoy the creativity and fun at work in projects like this.

My eyesight isn’t what it was - at first I thought it said
"How to make a Mellotron out of old Wakemans".

I just watched that clip Sid, two guys making a Mellotron out of old Walkmans... and now I am tripping without the aid of drugs. Those guys are aliens, they can’t be of this world.
Something about that whole clip makes me want to try to make Walkmans out of old Mellotrons, but that’s just me ;)

Interesting to note that OST is becoming almost marginalized in modern rock. People are tuning their guitars to whatever suits the sound they’re after. Up till 4 years ago I used nothing but OST (despite a period spent in NST many years ago). Now I I am re-tuning the instrument with every other student through my door. Interesting time to be a guitarist!
Chords and Background Music
:: Posted by alliespop on July 02, 2009
Thanks Ornate Coal Man and Pete3names! This helps immensely in my search to traverse the harmony with a melody that works. I am many times stumped or I fumble through and find myself staying in familiar territory with my little row boat in a safe harbor. Incidentally, in reading RF’s description of munching music in cafes, in my workplace atrium (where there is a Starbucks) they play an odd conglomeration of music from Dionne Warwick to...Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile. Couldn’t believe that one! I often feel like I’m being volleyed back and forth like a tennis ball the way they jump from one genre to the next. Maybe there is hope for hearing some Crim over the speakers. I think at that point I’d go and shake the hand of the character in charge of the Atrium Music Conglomerate.

Ornate coal man seems to have struck a chord at least a minor one; though the response has diminished. His observations were sharp so how could one augment them? And he didn’t harmony body in making them. Hope these puns don’t fall flat!
Asbury Park - Perfected
:: Posted by Yalien on July 02, 2009
Regarding U.S.A and the Casino download, never to be ever satisfied with released material, I edited my own makeshift - perfect - version of Asbury Park. Taking the U.S.A version, I clipped the casino version’s tail end to the end of the U.S.A track to seamlessly continue the song - allowing the modified U.S.A version to shine while still showcasing the funky jam omitted at the end. The result is a classic Crimson piece that I’d rate as one of their top 10 tracks, whereas I would not have held that opinion had I been content with either version - the original version with no finishing jam or the club release version with Crosse’s unfortunate atonal mellotron playing.
Oh, and whoever at DGM is listening, Sid? David? I’d be glad to send this version up to you guys if/when you’re interested in a re-release of U.S.A, as I think it strongly improves the record.
Cheers, Zach from Montreal, Canada
“Robert Fripp – Milan 1982”
:: Posted by thinmanjr on July 02, 2009
I have come upon the difficult economic times that plague this planet. I am trying to establish a fair price for my copy of the Tony Levin print titled, “Robert Fripp – Milan 1982”. It is one of 200. I contacted the photographer / painter of the print. He told me that he is unaware of the print’s present value, and suggested that I post my inquiry here. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Now that June has come and gone, I wonder when the revised release schedule will be announced. Has there been any concrete news?
