Drumgasm (Blueman ww..what!?)

Ting got updated with a some new sound and ditto for DrumJam and while testing those I added more and more machines to the party. It's pretty clear in the video what I used so need to go in to that. Pure fun and completely without intention, it just happened. (The recorded parts are from SoniFace as there's not even IAA on that one)

Really clever, funny construction.

There's a classic Alec Guiness movie called "The Man in the White Suit" and the "contraptions"
sound track was ahead of it's time and was probably played by a small group of percussionists
play weird instruments. Now we can do this at home using headphones.

Thank you, sometimes it works with: just do it, and, it's fun. The movie clip was also interesting, thanks, was hoping it would erupt to something more

Amazingly fun jam! I love Ting, didn’t know there were updated sounds.

Hey this would be a good intro part or even a bridge that another piece could go into.

The movie came out 3 years before Moog created its first synthesizer. So, the sounds are all acoustically generated and recorded on tape. It was before it's time.

"The Day the Earth Stood Still" also came out in 1951 and featured the Theremin in the sound track (Bernard Hermann). Leon Theremin also created a eaves dropping device for the KGB that was planted in a US Government facility that did NOT use a battery (someone might fact check this one since my memory
has proven to gets some details wrong). No idea how he transmitted the signal without
power. I can't even recall where I saw this but it was a documentary of some sort.

Thanks Ed! Maybe, I don't know if I will touch it again as it was just a jam pretty much. You never know though

Interesting. Here's a wiki about "THE THING"

Sounds like a children choir rhythmically blowing into u-shaped glass tubes filled with some water 😅

@Pxlhg See how much we're already conditioned to expect at least a hundred explosions in a commercial movie? 😁

Yeah, I actually was half aware of where my expectations came from but still wanted it to happen ..

Very cool tones @Pxlhg, enjoying the metallic, filtered Autechre vibes.

Ah, so it was Leon Theremin who invented the device that could listen to conversations by analyzing sound vibrations on glass, which lead to 'Electronic Reading Rooms', and why so many offices lack windows.

His creations included a system code-named BURAN, which used an infrared beam to pick up the vibrations that sound waves create on a pane of glass. It could be used to listen covertly to conversations inside buildings without risk of being detected. The device was put to use against the U.S., France and Britain during the Cold War, and even used to spy on Stalin himself.
