A short dark snippet of film featuring the swedish band Wan LIght as they find their way around the Mattel Optigan playing the romantic strings disc upside down and therefor playing it backwards. A very cool and useable sound. The Optigan resides at roth Händle studios, Stockholm where it it used quite often.
An even weirder sounding Optigan...Great !
How are you btw...it's been a while.

I have that disc, and mine is slightly creased, so it warps in the most wonderful way.

Well...The Vox humana discs would only just multiply that static sound, right ? I have messed around with a bit of stacking but generally I find the original Optigan sound to be quite "messy enough". Maybe I just need to spend more time with it...

I got a couple Big Band Beat discs--I like to put one upside down on top of the other & shove 'em both in...sounds real cool. I ought to try that with the Vox Humana discs...but I don't have them!
