Recording a song with only Mellotron sounds Pt 4

A short series of films from my sessions recording music for a documentary on probably my favorite instrument, The Mellotron. The idea I had was to record music solely using the Mellotrons at the studio and the Rhythmate (more on that later). So far I have recorded two pieces and this is the third one.

My name is Mattias Olsson and I am a Swedish musician and producer. My studio is located in Stockholm, Sweden. I have collected weird and odd instruments for almost ten years now and the Mellotrons, Optigans and Pipeorgans have a tendency to show up on almost all of the albums I work with. It isn't a museum but an alive and creative workplace for bands and artists who want to record "real" sounds away from computers and digital synths.

I filmed it holding the camera with my left hand with my old sony digital camera and playing with me right hand. So if you find the camera technique annoying...blame me.
