Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

The last two times I saw Nik Turner's Space Ritual Del was controlling his synths with a big wood axe set up as some kind of controller (great for when the crowd gets too rowdy!). I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how this was done. I'm assuming it was homemade. It looked like it had one string running the length of the handle and some knobs down by the blades. I'm still trying to decide on controllers for my eventual MOTM system and since Del's synth playing in Hawkwind is what made me buy my first synth( CZ 101!) I thought it would be cool to try and make something along those lines.

thanks,
