Title: Belated Spookiness
Post by: chromium on November 04, 2009, 05:27:09 PM: My two sons and I were having fun making some creepy sounds on the synthesizer the night before Halloween. After they went to sleep, I put up a cam and recorded some stuff. Nothing musical, just things that go bump in the night... Mwa ha ha haaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Be patient- it really starts rockin' out at around 1:10 when the creepy wind noises come in! (http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/0chromium0/forums/smilies/hihi.gif)

(yes I'm easily amused, and this is technically the only time of the year I can make creepy wind noises without clearing the room)

Cool stuff. I would not want to have to rewire that. Love the creapy lighting, that somehow reminds me of Mark.

Wait.. my legs weren't showing were they? ??? (http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/0chromium0/forums/smilies/icon_redface.gif) ;D

That was a nice piece, Uwe. It's no ELP "Love Beach", but it will do.. ;)

I enjoy some of those ambient/electronic works. I "discovered" Cluster not long ago, and love the way their music just takes a simple cyclical motif and allows it to naturally evolve...

I remember Cluster from somewhere.....

The Tangerine Dream clip reminded me of them- they were/are another group from out of the krautrock scene. Talk of that music here and at DP is what got me turned onto it and listening.

Speaking of, there was a good BBC documentary recently on this subject-

It saddens me that BBC's site doesn't allow video steaming to us yanks. Can't we all just be friends? (http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/0chromium0/forums/smilies/hug.gif). Thankfully, the content always seems to have a way of appearing in other places:

Post by: uwe on November 06, 2009, 03:57:55 AM: That kraut electronic stuff has proved pretty lasting. I hear a lot of it in modern instrumental snd even non-instrumental dance music - they've just put a quicker beat underneath it.

So in a way Tangerine Dream and Cluster are to blame for this: :-\

Nice music, goes a bit in the Neu/Michael Rother direction.
