Subject: RE: [AN1x] Crazy Who sounds

From: "Ed Edwards" <edward.edwards@...>

"Teenage Wasteland" (actually named Baba O'Riley) has a lot of references if you
Google it. There is an audio interview with Pete Townsend somewhere out there
where he reveals the entire process. Don't forget to listen carefully, Townsend
is moving around a lot on the keyboard -- this is not just a simple hold down
the keys and let the arpeggiator play it song.

Google kindly provided this excellent site:

Here's a snip:
I’d always thought this was programmed into Pete’s huge modular ARP 2500
synth/sequencer. It certainly sounds like it could have been! It’s hard to
believe that the sound we hear on Baba O’Riley is really a Lowrey home organ.
The model Pete used was a TBO-1, but for anyone wishing to recreate Baba O’
Riley, just pick one up the following models to do the same job: TLO, DSO, TLS,
TSO 25 and HR and GAK (seems to be the nearest). Pete is using a setting called
“marimba repeat.” <SNIP>

... go on and read the rest yourself. Also download the audio demo of the banjo
repeat on the Lowery - amazing stuff for 40 year old technology.

eee - Edward Edwards
