Saw Jesse in Exeter, he mentioned you know each other. The Metheny thing looks/sounds amazing! Did you go? Heard it broke down at the end :) Hi Jonnie, nice to hear from you.

Have you seen the Pat Metheny 'Orchestrion' vid? Pretty crazy solenoid operated orchestra. He's got some bottles set up too. Better than the usual one man band situation and no bass drum on the back and knee operated cymbals required. http://www.nonesuch.com/media/videos/pat-metheny-introduces-orchestrion Hey Mike, Been digging the site for a bit now.

Interesting about the xylophone, didn't know that. I did some recording with a metal bowl that does the same pitch thing you mentioned. Nice idea about archiving recordings/sounds for future use. Hadn't thought of doing that. Ta. Origin is one of my favourite records. Interesting about the xylophone, didn’t know that.

I heard they used a xylophone made of real bones on that track! With regards to bottles, I had a mate that recorded some great sounds using large wine glasses, filled with a little bit of water. He then flicked it to start the glass resonating and tipped the glass to move the water inside. This produced some quite interesting pitch bending effects. I also once ran my finger around the rim (steady on..) of an old goldfish bowl (like people do with wine glasses) and it produced a really great, rich, resonant tone. I've yet to include it into some music though, but it is lurking on my hard-drive in waiting... Very nice Mike, the second one reminds me somewhat of the intro of Screenager.
