Museum of Techno Sherry Sessions 2 - Spiders

[andysquirrell]

i, likewise, would be inclined to catch a fly or two, perhaps more! maybe more than three. i don`t like flies but, well, i am not yet a spider. actually i hope not to become spider due to the compulsion of old women to swallow them and further ingest avian predators in order to catch them/me. so, errrr, yes.

[frunkwort]

I am also from the colonies. What is the proper term to use for the place from which the colonizers arise? Maybe the "colon"?

So, to you denizens of the colon, many many kudos and props for a fine philosophical discussion. Occasionally a rather fuzzy centipede will climb out of my kitchen sink, causing me to drop my spoon in alarm, resulting in a tinkly percussion. I should, in a future event, commandeer said centipede and employ it in the creation of a frenetic beat swarm.

May there one day be marble statues, thrice life-size, commissioned in honour of the man who coined, on this very comments list, the phrase "frenetic beat swarm."

Might I suggest the next topic of Sherry Sessions be on the implications of parrot mic'ing. The common parrot being much more ample at squawking than a spider is at tweaking synth parameters. If you're interested in knowing which compressor and EQ modules can most efficiently enhance the innate bass frequencies from a moderately drunk parrot, I have done much research on that as well.

[museumoftechno]

Laboratory-based animal abuse in the pursuit of music: callings literally don't get higher than that.

I hope you were wearing your labcoat sir.

Not to worry, the parrot seemed into it. The bee's on the other hand proved to be less interested in the world of music.

[museumoftechno]

I went to a museum of bee-keeping once in Cornwall. But because it was winter, all the bees - literally all of them - were dead. We spent an hour looking at bee corpse husks, then had a cup of tea in their cafe.

The technicians there were boring twats, too, as I recall.

If I may be so bold, I believe you gentlemen may have overlooked another possible opportunity one would have with 8 legs. One's ability to manipulate the perimeters of a synth would be increased 4 fold with an 8 pedal midi foot controller. However I believe this entire topic may be completely irrelevant. I have personally attempted to train spiders, centipedes, and several bee's to perform electronic music, with only mixed results.

[museumoftechno]

That was my original point to Cornwell: 8 legs, fine, but their entire nervous system consists of fewer than 10000 neurons, so it's not like they're ever going to write progressive house.

Kind regards

Progressive house no, but I would venture to say that 10,000 is a generous amount of neurons to program a Trance buildup.

I look forward to future installments sir.

Best,

Dear Mr. Braidy,

Which is the better, Cats or Dogs?

Kind regards,

The Snurgle

[museumoftechno]

I'm more allergic to cats, but dogs have a greater capacity to maim than cats - domestic cats, that is. Hmm, that's actually a more subtle question than it appears. Anyone else have a view on this?

Kind regards

[TheSnurgle]

Perhaps it would be a suitable topic of discussion for a future sherry session?!

[museumoftechno]

Don't see why not. It's not strictly 100% related to techno production, but we could try to shoehorn it in sometime. I'll raise the possibility with Cornwell, and thank you for your suggestion!

Kind regards

[Nismology5]

Is that a Casio WK keyboard behind Mr. Cornwell?

[museumoftechno]

Might be. We didn't steal it. Obviously we wouldn't necessarily have a receipt, perhaps it was a donation or something. Cornwell found it anyway, leave me alone.

Kind regards

I often play a little snakes and ladders with my passengers and I only have 2 legs. Although having 8 legs would mean I could also be pouring a brandy and cutting into some stilton...

[museumoftechno]

Exactly. Have you ever soaked Stilton in port? It's rude: cut a hole in the top of the cheese, pour the red stuff in, leave to soak. Eat. Fcking rude. Possibly not something to try while you're driving, best to wait until you're at traffic lights or something.

If we ever meet, sir, we'll have to have a little Snakes and Ladders sesh, see if you're for real, or if you're flaking, perpetrating and scared to kick reality.

Kind regards

Mr Braidy

Technician, Museum of Techno

[MattTrecartin]

mm yes I know of the port in the Stilton routine but have never driven with anyone who will partake. A meeting of the minds would be most enjoyable and informative indeed. If you gentlemen are ever visiting the colonies look me up.

[museumoftechno]

Ideal. Which colonies? And are you the guy who once sent me a film with footage of musicians intercut with shots of anabattoir? Because if you were, you rock even harder.

Mr Braidy

Technician, Museum of Techno

[MattTrecartin]

yes sir the cow killing and mexican music..., that was my film Der Cowboy. And by colonies I am referring to the Dominion of Canada.

[museumoftechno]

Well done then sir - it blew my head apart. Can't find the file any more, still can't get the first cow shot out of my head. I thought, "Jesus, this is literally something They hide from the Kids". Jaw-dropping.

Apparently I have relatives in British Columbia... if I ever get enough money to go on holiday in Canada, maybe I'll drop by. Well, if I get enough money for a holiday and a long-distance teleportation system.

Fantabulous is just one of many words which might be used to describe our genius.

Thank you for your comment sir or madam - it's good to have feedback from fans of real sports. If you have time, and haven't done so already, please consider telling the entire world about our videos - we're desperate for some decent marketing! Seriously desperate.

Kind regards
