Subject: [Mellotronists] New project


Spotted on a prog rock forum:
-----------------------------

Trion (a contraction of the words trio and tron; short for
mellotron) is an
instrumental project which uses only seven sounds of the mellotron
(cello,
violins, choir, vibe, oboe, organ & flute), drums and acoustic &
electric
guitars.


This was down at the bottom of the page (my capitals):


Edo Spanninga: Flute, Oboe, Strings, Organ, Cello, Vibe & Choir
Mellotron SAMPLES


So if he's using samples, why stop at seven sounds?
