The echoplex as sound source

Yesterday was a short good day in the studio...Mattias Puttonen (a fellow Mellotron geek) came by and lent me his Maestro Echoplex. A great old tape echo and these short films are just me messing about and being blown away be this remarkable piece of equipment. This will without doubt become a staple in the Roth Händle sound.

This film was recorded at Roth Händle studos in Stockholm, Sweden. This is where I spend my days recording and producing artists...The studio started in my apartment and evolved slowly from there. This is the forth location of the studio. The first one obviously was at home...the second and third was at a abandoned shipyard outside of Stockholm. The studio works more or less in two ways either the artists come here to the studio or people send files that I work with...If you are curious to find out more about the studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu for more info, blogs and odd facts. Oh yes and now I am on facebook too with a dedicated roth händle site...I dont know how to link to it but you people are all so internet smart so you can find...if you want to.

Thanks for watching,

Mattias

It has a telstar intro feel to it. Which is good!

@Keijz74 I have read a book about Joe Meek...interesting character indeed...a bit on the weird side.

Sounds like a twisted synth playing with itself LOL

[RothHandle]

@Keijz74 An instrument in itself

@RothHandle More than mildly eccentric.Setting up tape recorders on grave sites to record the voices of the dead sure is a weird hobby :o|#

@RothHandle I saw it and immediately the words "guitar wankery" came to mind.

You wanted to do that all along, didn't you?

Great Idea mate! :o)#

@Keijz74 Well you have seen the recent footage from the Anima Morte sessions...

[Keijz74]

@RothHandle Nice device for some fleamarket guitar extravaganza. It should be in good hands when Mattias Olsson does it :op#

@RothHandle Yes. I was just laughing on the idea of a twisted synth playing with itself. Sweet instrument / machine.
