My computer has broken
 

wizards teeth on 2001-10-13 17:07 [#00040819]



Hello People,

I am sad and happy.

One of my computers has broken and I need to reinstall
windows, i have lost many items.

But I am not sad as it is a chance to make new style music
with other things.

I remember being at school once and was informed that apples
conduct electricity, is this true ?

I am going to make a musical instrument from fruit.

I also believe electricity can pass through certain
solutions, if some form of musical instrument was linked to
a jar of chemicals, the chemicals sould be heated to make
movements in the chemistry, that may change the sound.

what guitar pedeeels are good apart from : delay and
distortion ?

i once seen a pedal that made the instrument sound liek a
cow.

is it illegal for animals to be in pop groups / appear on
stage playing instruments ?

those are some fucking mad wacked ideas for instruments! if
do make music with them i have to be the first to hear it.
it would be amazing.
do you know what else would be amazing? cookies....
instrument cookies......mmmmmmm cookies......


 

wizards teeth on 2001-10-13 17:19 [#00040821]



i will keep you informed of the progress.

one other idea i had was to get two coconut shells to make
the sound of a horse, i will record the output and feed
through effects pedals and play live for people to dance to
over the top of other sounds from my computer. the points of
contact of the shells shall also have tin foild on them.
when they touch they shall sound some electronic buzzers
inside the shells.

therefore when i am smashing them together the sound will be
a combo of horses walking or running and electronic buzzers,
all fed through an effects unit (kaos pad) and effects
pedals (delay).

clip clop beep bzzz, clip clop beep bzzzzz clip beep bzzz,

do you get the idea ?

its the sound of the horse


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-10-13 17:22 [#00040823]



that is amazing! you gotta keep me updated with that too!

do you songs i can download?


 

inno on 2001-10-13 17:22 [#00040824]



Fruit makes electricity from the reaction between it's acid
and the electrodes (generally zinc). This electricity is
direct, which means that you will be making an attempt to
create an instrument from the equivalent of a watch battery.
The only way to get an oscillation is by modulating the
direct current. The sound won't come from the fruit, it
will come from the modulating circuitry. The fruit will be
your battery.


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-10-13 17:26 [#00040826]



NO! say it aint so!
i refuse to believe you.
fruit is a viable instrument


 

wizards teeth on 2001-10-13 17:26 [#00040827]



oh

i wanted my apples to sing to me, i was going to have a band
made out of fruit, i suppose i still can

i will have mr. potato head as lead singer and a pinapple
will look a bit like pm dawn.

horses + electricity + coconuts + sound = my favourite
things

i am going to start to make it tomorrow and will take some
photos when i am finished


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-10-13 17:27 [#00040828]



you gotta hook me up!


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-10-13 17:28 [#00040830]



i had an idea. seeing as the fruit are the battery, why not
make them like distort sound or something.


 

Ralph from Springfield on 2001-10-13 17:39 [#00040835]



My Dad's breathe smells like penis.


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-10-13 17:40 [#00040836]



thats weird, so does my dad's!


 

wizards teeth on 2001-10-13 17:46 [#00040840]



If the fruit decay would the sound change ?

either have a very long musical set over one week with
slight changes as the frutis decay:

"poor apples, they are dying, please help me bring my apples
back to life"

or cause the apples / pears to decay quicker by pointing a
hot hair dryer at them

the singing lobsters can be incorporated in a pan of boiling
water

i will be dressed as a ninja and as i chop things with my
hands the wood will crack and the sounds shall be used to
make tunes, a microphone shall be next to the wood, when i
chop it the sound shall be heard by the audience.

ladies and gentlemen:

wizards teeth demonstrates his ninja skils whilst his
backing singers get boiled alive and killed with hairdryers

on percussion - wizards teeth

vocals - lobster

sound effects - ian the apple


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-10-13 17:47 [#00040841]



thats the shit! i hope you are serious about making this!
you gotta hook a brotha up


 

wizards teeth on 2001-10-13 17:52 [#00040844]

pissed as i am going to a party

did you get that coconut idea from monty python?


 

Wizard MaC from Amersfoort on 2001-10-14 16:26 [#00040991]



self-made instruments are really cool, but i'm not a
technician.
I heard of a guitar pedal called "Extorsion" but i think
it's some sort of a distortion.

at home, we have some sort of tea-pot (i don't know how to
call it in english) which creates weird sounds when it's
closed: the air inside it wants to get out.
Really!Sometimes I hear all sorts of scary noises and then i
remember "oh, it's just that damned thing again"
Sometimes it sounds like that "beep" in Ventolin.



 

Wizard MaC from Amersfoort on 2001-10-15 10:16 [#00041281]



idea for an album: "Kitchen Sessions boiler 1"
music totally made with kitchen-equipment


 

wizards teeth on 2001-10-15 11:26 [#00041300]



I was going to start sampling organic sounds.

Squashing fruits, hitting meat with hammers

I like the concept of organic techno music


 

Wizard MaC from Amersfoort on 2001-10-15 11:39 [#00041303]



you do use a Kaosspad.
Kaosspad=useful?

i think i start scratching a microphone all over my body and
record that
mmm......using the mic as an instrument


 

wizards teeth on 2001-10-15 11:46 [#00041306]



i have a kaos pad.

i like it a lot.

woudl you not be using you skin as an instrument?


 

Wizard MaC from Amersfoort on 2001-10-15 12:53 [#00041313]



my skin and my clothes,
or maybe i start a naked "mic scratch session"
it could give my music a more organic feel, you know ;)

off course i will put a massive reverb over the mic
scratches


 

boxrocket on 2001-10-15 13:02 [#00041315]
