Half speed Mellotron Wineglasses -horror sound

Swedish acoustic popsters Tarantula showed up 1 hour late to the studio so I thought I could make some short little films of the Mellotron. The Mellotron is famous for it´s flutes, strings and choir sounds but I thought I might demonstrate some of the odder sounds. This is Mellotron 400 #563.It has been serviced by Markus Resch from Mellotron Archives...amongst other things he has built a half speed pedal that I demonstrate in some of the films. The frame has three sounds Vibraphone, piano and tuned wineglasses. I got the tapeframe as a present for my 25th birthday.

These instruments reside at the Roth Händle studio in Stockholm, Sweden. A studio that prides itself in taking care of old vintage instruments and recording ideas. A studio where Optigans, Orchestrons and Mellotrons roam freely in vast echochambers. For more info...please visit www.roth-handle.nu

The first few seconds also sound like sci-fi outer space sounds, or the Dr. Who intro.

@pinkfloydrule27 I posted a fresh video of the sound just the other day...head over to my main page and youll find it...!

@RothHandle ive not heard of it but i can imagine it is very bizarre

[RothHandle]

@Palkooo I am a lucky man... Thank you for your kind comment I might do a little show and tell some day...Have you seen the Mellotron docu...? Mellodrama ?

[RothHandle]

@pinkfloydrule27 I would still claim that the tuned bees are still the weirdest one out there...

[pinkfloydrule27]

my favourite obscure mellotron tape is bass clarinet but this is also very strange i didn't even know it existed

[RothHandle]

Yeah it is a pretty scary sound...Now if it could also make stephen king write decent endings to his books it would be great...But I think that is a little too much to ask from a mellotron sound.

Enough to make Stephen King drool!
