MOTM-480 on the "bass drops", MOTM-650 sequenced playing the Wendy Carlos 
Harmonic Series tuning table (3-note polyphonic with delays), MOTM-510 on the 
very high "wind chime" tinkle bits. MOTM-440 on the lead and pads.

Robert plays PVC flute from Home Depot ($6.80 total cost).

Hi all,

I particularly love Robert's more "musical" pieces like this (as opposed to 
the glurpy sound scape stuff which is also very nice in it's own right). Can 
anyone recommend any albums of his (or I guess even of other peoples) that 
are in a similar vein to this demo piece? I think some of his older works 
are more like this but I'm not sure.

Thanks,

Erik

"Electric Ladder" is a particular favorite of mine.  "Calling Down 
the Sky" is also fantastic and along the lines of what Erik was 
requesting - but LIVE!  I happen to like "Lithosphere" very much 
(with Ian Boddy).

I saw him last year in a stone church in Philadelphia on a stormy 
windy night with the shadows of wind-blown branches in the stained 
glass windows. It was rather amazing.

And yes, the flutes are genuine Home Depot pvc pipe. ( ! )

So, I recommend Bestiary for maximum glurpiness, Electric Ladder for 
maximum "musicality" (whatever that means) and Seven Veils for 
maximum atmosphere (and for a great band as well). Bear in mind that 
he has 20 or so CDs available and I don't have them all, so I could 
be missing some gems. I think I'll go order a copy of Calling Down 
the Sky now.
