For that authentic tron sound they would have to genuine live farts, otherwise you might as well use a sampler!

Hey-    A fart recording session with autotune might work.  Use several sources, like the "Cat" sessions did.  It would put Le Petomane to shame.    Wait.  Didn't we already discuss this?  I'm getting a sense of deja vu right now...      -Bruce D.   --- On Wed, 10/7/09, Mark Pring <markpringnz@ yahoo.com> wrote: From: Mark Pring <markpringnz@ yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Re: New mellotron string section To: newmellotrongroup@ yahoogroups. com Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2009, 11:58 PM   I think you will find it difficult these days to find someone who can fart in tune for 8 seconds over 3 octaves! There was a french chap in the last century that probably could have managed it, but he is dead. To quote  "The Goodies" ( probably a mystery to the US tronists ) Blowing off, it's a gas, Blowing off, it's a trip. It's a sin to hold it in, so let it rip! Some folks like to hiccough, Some folks like to cough, But me, ( insert fart ) I blow off ! Believe it or not that was banned by the BBC, Oh happy innocent days! --- On Thu, 10/8/09, lsf5275@aol. com <lsf5275@aol. com> wrote: From: lsf5275@aol. com <lsf5275@aol. com> Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Re: New mellotron string section To: newmellotrongroup@ yahoogroups. com Date: Thursday, October 8, 2009, 6:38 PM   Trust me, Mark, if it comes out of a Mellotron it sounds like a Mellotron. I imagine farts played on a Mellotron would sound like Mellotron Farts.. Mike? Anyone?   The new String section is just that... new. But it has a very Mellotrony quality. It sound really great and is just part of the ever expanding Mellotron sound palette. You can have all of the great classic sounds, but there are also some really great new sounds that fit right in.   In a message dated 10/7/2009 10:26:49 P.M.

My next tape set will be 8 voice choir, brass, and old string section without cello.
