Salmon Song riff from Fish Rising

> Salmon Song riff from Fish Rising
Good grief - haven't heard that one in a looong time. Was the Glorious Om
Riff on that album, or was that "L"?
A good friend (Basil Brooks) was his touring synthi chap; but also was a
member of prototypical synthi duo "Zorch" - still going and still dynamite;
details at http://www.zorchmusic.com - both Baz and Gwyo are currently
on/off members of Gong. If you were at any of the free festivals in the
mid-70s (Windsor '74, Stonehenge, Maegan Fayre) chances are Zorch were
there... as was I :). Their current CD (Glastonbury Live) is highly
recommended.

Steve Fairhead
> Well I found a track list...
Wahay! Where's me teacosy... :)
The personnel list takes me back. Bloomdido (bad de Grasse - usually) was/is
a superb saxist. Miquette is a darling. Tim Moonweed was an occasional
visitor to Basil's house back then... not the easiest guy to get on with,
but he and Basil certainly blew a few minds together. I was in synthi
heaven - I was building one (all analogue of course) and the EMS briefcase
job was a useful thingy to get to know. (Basil is on the "Live Herard"
album.)

Don't think so. Pretty sure more to do with the Canterbury scene (Caravan
etc)... from whence Hillage sprang in the first place. BTW he's stil
around - band now is System 7 (http://www.a-wave.com/system7/). Has done
quite a bit of trance production...

appropriate..........
"Steve Hillage tabs" . The dear old Glasgow Apollo always did smell a bit
sweet when he was playing there !!! I remember seeing him one night and
the gig didn't start until about 10.00pm because Glasgow was covered in a
thick fog and the Edwin Shirley Truck with most of the PA hadn't managed to
get to the Apollo.

LOL :).

When I lived in the States I got friendly with a British road crew at a gig
(won't mention the artist) simply because I smoked roll-ups (rare over
there) and was the only person in the place who could provide them with
Rizlas :).

Well, at least the fog was on the outside :). (Or in "the Big Room", in
geekspeak :).)

..not...not... the ETI one?? I remember going through a phase of being
interested in these, but the VCOs at that time were a dog when it came
to stability. They were really temperature sensitive and you spent more
time working on convoluted thermal controls than the actual VCO
itself.

Ah, For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night. I liked them. Saw them
in Glasgow and they were pretty good.

So I heard. I was quite surprised. I thought he'd given up
the music business.

No - it was before that. It was mainly based on a Wireless World feature,
with some additions from a Practical Electronics feature. The ETI one was a
few years later on... a friend of mine actually completed it. (I never
completed mine, although I did complete various modules - still have 'em
somewhere. The patch panel was fun.)
Re temp sensitivity - later VCOs used temperature-controlled crystals in a
dinky little oven. Before that stability was indeed a pain.
Hmmmm... all much easier these days.

Ok. I've got you. Someone brought me the PE one ( I think - at one point
point, every mag seemed to have one in it including Elektor and even
Practical Wireless) that they hadn't been able to put together. I got
it working after a fashion, but it was a real mess of wiring. IIRC
the keyboard was some sort of etched PCB with a pen, rather like a
stylophone (Or maybe it was the PW version - that would be more
their style!)

Right. The first ovens that came along were nothing more than transistor
arrays with a few of the transistors running flat out to get the chip
really hot. In that way, the ambient fluctuations had little effect on
the remaining trannies which were used in the VCO - at least that was
the theory.

The PE one did have a proper keyboard - albeit in kit form all the way down
to the switch bars... The WW one didn't specify a particular keyboard, but
did include the keyboard decoder (which I built and never attached to
anything :)). I still have all those articles somewhere. Not sure where your
stylophone one came from - possibly Elektor or PW, as you say?
Did you ever get your hands on a Wasp? (Small, cheap portable synthi - quite
good but no patch panel, so no use to me - I was into exceedingly odd
patches...)

Agreed. Later everyone started using devices from CEM (Curtis Electro
Music) - whatever happened to them?

No. I wasn't actually interested in playing them, more what made them
tick.

WAH!! I remember them. CEM range of VCOs, VCFs, VCAs Sample and Holds
and the like. I think they may still be around, I remember seeing a
real low noise mic preamp chip a few years back from them.

I've still got my Wasp. One of the few synths which can be played
by a budgie. You just sprinkle seed on the keyboard and the
capacitance of the budgie's tongue will play a tune. We
discovered this by accident when I brought my Wasp round to a
friends house who had a pet budgie.
I actually linked the Wasp up to a Vic20 and wrote a basic
program to output through the port and into the din socket.
Unfortunately I didn't bump polarise the connector, and when my
mum suggested I demo it to my nephew, it was strangely silent.
Later I found I'd blown it, and ended up having to transcribe the
circuit on both sides of a piece of drafting tracing paper, so I
could trouble-shoot the fault. The thought of doing that now
boggles my mind. I think it was only a couple of chips which
needed replacing in the end, but I can't really recall how I
found them?

Nice image :).

Vic20? You was lucky :). Remember the Nascom?

Yep, been there. Still possible with guitar amps, I'm pleased to say. But
don't try this with e.g. a VAMP...
(I opened up my "Made in China" Pignose GR40Vs when I got them to check
safety. Scared myself witless. Those particular Chinapersons could not
solder. Standard of workmanship was terrible; standard of technology was
pre-war, which was kinda ok.)
Most stuff I design is surface-mount these days. I let others do the rework
:).

IIRC some of the Wasp's 'through hole plating' was courtesy of
the chip legs, so you had to solder on both sides of the chip
(and desolder). I might have include DIL sockets in my repairs
though for ease of checking that 'feature'.
