i really like to collect gemstones - i usually had them tossed all around my desk but a few feeks ago i came to the conclusion that dusting them off almost every day is quite a shitty task. so i had this brilliand idea - i but them into a aquarium filled with water and put some foil on top. - they will be magnyfied by the glass and won't cover with dust. great so i couldn't find some neat place for it so i just put it on my speaker... you can see it on the left standing on top. i really watched it the whole time because i was afraid that it could fall of the top when listening to some bassy sounds but i could never expect something else to happen... i played a bit with the x-station and i wanted to make some raw analog bass sound. i have no samples to post but it was something like one of those drumnbass leads. i wanted to make it a bit more raw so i just add distortion - and then i started to play with the filter section. when i turned the knob of the lowpass filter hell broke out. the gemstones in the glass started to hop and after one second the whole thing collapsed tossing about 3 litres of water all around the place. x-station, yamaha's, my siemens hi-fi, laptop, telephone. i have to desks linked together so the water started to go through the edge and - right into my box with vinyls. on top of that water started to pour on my voltage cables. so i ran switching the voltage off in my whole house and got back to save what's still to save. water poured out of all the monitors, my phone was dead and of course every single of my vinyl cartons is all wa |

... cartons are all wavey. but the most interesting thing is - the fact that i switched of the voltage that fast and afterwards dried everything with a hair dryer allowed me to save every single piece of gear!! i'm really quite a lucky bastard kids - don't try this at home |

the vinyls are ok - but i had to clean them up very carefully because i also had sand in the bulb. it got into the cartons and when i took them out they could easily get scratched. |
