The 19th century French wine industry and members of the temperance movement put forth many myths, fueled by poor science, about absinthe (e.g. it induces insanity, deteriorates genetic constitution, etc.), which, unfortunately, still linger to some degree.

Neat video, well done......the campaign to demonize absinthe in the early 20th century was very true. I have always wanted to try absinthe to see for myself its so called evil effects.

I used my MOTM modular synth, a DSI PEK, field samples that I distorted in Logic Pro, and a few other goodies I expect (it's hard to remember after a couple years).

Thanks for the interest!
