Description

Just came home with the little Korg Monotron pictured above and realized that the deadline for the Space Race '11 was today. So here's three improvised (uncut) tracks from the montoron and one track of the iPhone app Manetron (mellotron) - also uncut.
Quick and dirty - total recording time 20 minutes.

Looking forward to checking out the other entries - thanks Drak for sponsoring the event.

	captain's (ana)log, stardate 2532 the joy of analog, and a new play toy, how fun! I believe that most objects in outer space are either slow and ginormous, or quick and dirty. Knob twiddling and noise making is such fun. ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Synthopolis 0x02 (VIDEO!)

	Bud this is great, It reminds me of sound effects from some of my fav SciFi movies, 2001, Logan's Run, Westworld,Fantastic Voyage etc. Definitely captured the feel of those 60's 70's soundtracks for sure. classic. And so easily produced, very cool. Check out my latest song called The Sentinals(MJ spacerace challenge)

	Start up the laser show My head is exxxxpppppaaaaaaannnnnnndddddiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnggggggg. Very cool Kevin. I didn't realise there was a Manetron app, and since I really like the way the mellotron was skillfully used by some 60s/70s bands I will look it up. I just got the moog app which is fun. Nice improv!! Doug Check out my latest song called The Asteroid [Doom2012]

my ipad
is used for games and videos, but i make a good effort toward downloading musical apps - just haven't figured out how to use them yet. I wish i had any idea at all how to use a mellotron or monotron or any -tron. next time i'm in NY i'll stop by for a lesson from the master. all this needs is a little theramin. is there an app for that? this is great Kevin, a nice slow increase in tension and then an easy release. you and your on-the-fly projects amaze me.

The future is now
Great background music. I can imagine the video... somewhere on a distant planet, citizen gather in a park to find a new way to freedom and dignity, and the police send out automatic orbs with shock needles and brainwashing gas, and they begin darting here and their, creating a disorienting chaos blamed on the protesters themselves...

	Erie Korg Monotron, Mellotron iphone app Manetron ? I don't know what those are, but if they'll do that, I want --- whatever they are. Nice.

	Filling up... ...on some asteroid juice/gas/atmosphere. You've captured a sound that is other-worldly, like a tone generator that has a brain. "Open the pod bay doors, Hal." The first human landing on Mars should be accompanied with this futuristic sound. Maybe it will be. Check out my latest song called I Speak Of Love
