Dan- very cool! Thanks for sharing your ideas and enthusiasm, here. I'd
like to get a look at this beast, sometime. Perhaps it can form the
centerpiece of discussion at our first experimental music gathering (which
is due to happen fairly soon, now that my schedule is a little more open).

Experimanetal music gathering I'm very interested. Please e-mail me when that
happens. I have been know to experiment with guitar tunings, and my latest
kick is playing bass with a guitar slide. Plus I like to listen to all kinds
of experimental music.

Bass with a gutar slide - sounds neat.
'This Beast' sounds...well, it sounds pretty metallic, because it has steel
strings and a metal body, and there is something of a wah effect - kind of
like a sitar without the drone, I guess.
Yeah, experimental music gathering would be cool. Let me know.
oh, raven, is this a standup bass, or a fretless bass guitar, or what?

Well it's a fretless bass now. :-) I'm not all that good in terms of knowing
scales etc, but I think I have a good ear for what sounds interesting. Plus
I have a digital delay that can be used to create interesting layered sounds.

A new Harry Partch web site for those who are intersted - good stuff, and it's
maintained by one of the players in Partch's ensemble, Gate 5.

(I think that's it, anyway)

I've got a couple loose guitar pickups I will likely never use, if anybody
has a burning desire to amplify some ferrous-metal object.

If you're into Fred Frith, take note of his appearance on the soundtrack to
_The Tango Lesson_.

Has anyone had a chance to catch Fez around the Detroit area? They apparently
employ a Theramin, pump organ, and hub caps along with more traditional
intruments in their tunes. They just played the Pontiac Arts Beats and Eats
Festival, September 6, 1998, but I'll have to dig for upcoming performances.

It's a box with two antannae sticking out of it. One antenna is for volume,
and the other for pitch. By placing your hands near the antennae you
control the instrument. They are very difficlut to play. If you're
in Ann Arbor, I think Liberty St. Video has the excellent film "Theremin: An
Electronic Odyssey"

News flash!!!!
A sequel to "Whirligig, Gravichords and Pyrophones" has been issued! Called
"Orbitones, Spoon Harps & Bellowphones", it has more of the same kinda stuff.
I got my copy at Borders (neat display on the checkout counter, with both
CD/books available, and a little 5-note xylophone made of wrenches and
plumbing parts is part of the display). It is now a CD-sized hardcover book,
and the first one is also in that format, instead of the earlier large
paperback in a box format.
I have it here, but I have another purchase on the CD player at the moment.
