Exploding Head Sweater Guy

Oh.

It's a little bit popular.

That video. The one in the previous post. When it occurred to me that you could do that, I did wonder if it had any viral mileage.

I've had a little tour of the blogs - Make Magazine (sorry - no links tonight - I'm off to bed in a minute - search if you must.) BoingBoing, MatrixSynth, Synthtopia and a bunch of others that were new to me. And...

If you have tracked me down from one of them, Hi!

Thank you to the blog that tagged my sweater. If I had known you were going to watch, I would have changed.

I am "some guy."

No, my head was not about to explode. But it was my favourite headline nonetheless.

Yes, I consider it unpleasant music too. Thank you for defending it as Noise, but it's not good Noise either. That's why I tagged the video as How-To rather than Music.

No, I didn't "invent" it. But thank you for putting the word in quotes to indicate your incredulity at something I didn't claim. Discovered, or perhaps better "re-discovered."

I liked "ingenious musician" - that was nice.

I thought it might work with mobile phones too. I'd be interested to see that. So instead of commenting that you already did that in a whiney, belittling way, please post a video response.

Now go watch some more of my vids. I think the others are way better.

The Beat Electrons

The "Special Guests" at the White Label Music Christmas Party gig now have a name, compounded from our respective stage names - The Mirlitrons (Phil, red), Electromungo, (Arthur, blue) Beat Frequency (me, green.)


We have a short set worked out - more about that after the event (but plenty of theremin) - and I have ordered headwear for the group.

Arthur has created a group poster (above) and a flyer for the event (below.)

I have written an anagram poem. (Which strikes me as a little bit saucy, now I read it back.)

the beat electrons

beneath corset let
the obscene rattle
eat rotten belches

eel breath contest
celebrates the not

the stone bracelet
erects the notable

be other tentacles

I think Christmas will be a lot of fun this year.

the trouble with wah

The trouble with attaching a wah pedal to your theremin is that the urge to mouth "wah-wah-wah-waaaaaaah" along with your playing is almost irresistible.
