Royal Oakland Gramophone Company – Untitled

Oooo..<*)))-{ The device sat in the study of a wealthy aristocrat, while late at night the cook would haul it downstairs and perform a midnight symphony of kitchenware. You recall the scene in star wars inside the big Jawa recycling mobile – where droids and droid parts crunched & clattered? This wasn’t much different….just moodier. Another chapter revealed the whirring and chirping of reposessed sound gathering devices – held captive – en route to the next ROGC show in the year 1905

**mp3 excerpts:

• Cerf’s sketches, iron skillets, Iranian Tar, etc
• stupid beat, feedback, Bird People Of China, Irish
• adult beat loop, effected victrola skips, cello sounds, etc
• Cerf’s sketches, more iron skillets, Gramophone Birds

The Royal Oakland Gramophone Company

It was 1905 AD. The missing Gramophone recorder made it’s way back westward … passing through many hands, many lands… listening to, and remembering, every part of it’s now fractured history. Was the roaring brass flower in the cross hairs of a futuristic queen bee – great grannny-to-be of s&S?? We didn’t exactly find that out this time around, but among the long list of other revealed characters: a rabid Sumatran flute player, a mysterious man muttering on his deathbed, a crazed Englishman going on and on about hobgoblins, etc

**mp3 excerpts:

• 2 different CoStar records played in tandem revealed this story,
  cheesey TG loop, fat audio feedback
• (temporarily offline) man of his deathbed (CoStar); creepy shaman
• even more CoStar, Jaws soundtrack, stupid beat, noise, etc

SAGAN: yet another live web performance!

Posted on May 8th, 2005 by s&S.

* Scholarly blazer? – CHECK!

* Turtleneck? – CHECK!

* Billions & billions of tiny, etc? – CHECK!

If you REALLY love your mum, what better way to have celebrated Mother’s Day than to have taken her on a cosmic sound tour of the outer universe with a LIVE Sagan show? – all without even leaving the trailer?! There was none.

This performance of what has apparently become the monthly Sunday SAGAN Fireside Sound-Council was simply top-notch. A LIVE studio to studio linked event!!

Unfortunately, on this round, we had some technical problems – namely an intermittently shakey audio link with the Sagan studio – often it was just great, but in segments sputtered like crazy – we’ll be ironing this stuff out during the week and making the setup ‘bulletproof’ for next time. Thanks for all the LIVE emailed input from listeners out there in the field!

Sagan = (Blevin Blectum, Lesser, and Wobbly).
