I think Bill and the rest here will find this interesting ...

Having been a big fan in the 70s (saw BBD at Liverpool Empire 1976) then losing touch, then coming back 3 years ago to discover Bill's astonishing output over the years, and being blown away by him twice at the Clothworkers, today I started on a bonkers project I've been thinking about for ages. To listen to the lot, chronologically, working from a discography. This can't include all versions and obscurities etc, I know! But at least all the available albums. Call me crazy! (no don't :-) np: https://www.billnelson.com/sounding-the-ritual-echo cheers! Toby
I'm still trying to understand the theremin!
I'll check it out Alec. 'Pod
😁 With you on that, ‘Pod. The theremin is the most futuristic instrument, methinks.
Just watched alec, and it's a super interesting video...Plus the concept and design is understandable, so you can relate to the whole thing..and it sounds great!
At one point I was thinking it was starting to become overengineered, but when this video gets to around the 14 mins. mark, it really comes alive and I think the instrument is a success..still a work in progress, so will be interesting to see what future developments possibly await.
I'm sure Bill will have all these sounds covered and to hand via his Fractal Ax-Fx processor )and his trusty old EBow), but I'm also pretty sure he will be fascinated with what's been dreamed, designed, engineered and created here, and love this video...
I'm again pretty sure Bill would like to play this instrument, give it a test run and see what super-sonics he could produce...a possible future customer!?😉
Great stuff Alec!
Although, if you're on a tighter budget😉
