Temple Of Shroom

Went all 'Selected Ambient Works' on the guitar last night.

another jam from last night, experimenting with chorus on the double delay, reverb, volume pedal swell thing.  The chorus makes it sound way more synthy.  The poorly played lead almost has a 80's Zappa kinda tone to my ears. Listen carefully and you'll my daughter in the background, jabberin!

3rd and final of last nights sonic experiments. This one has added phaser and I'm rolling the tone pot on the guitar back and forth on the initial loop to try and make it sound more and less guitar like.

Had the phone to close to the guitar at the start so you can hear all the bum notes.  Ambient crying in the background via my daughter too! At the very end you hear the 'tock tock tock' of a meatball selling street vendor going past my house.

A demo I plan to develop further.  Recorded live on my phone. Experiments with screwdriver guitar.  Ambient shouting at the beginning by neighbours outside.

Home studio is 90% complete so this may be one of my last live phone recordings! 1 track, no edits, with some prerecorded loops, recorded on my mobile phone. Hope you like it.

First official track from experimental duo ULTRACHURCH.

Audio of Linda Macdonald taken from The Living Dead: Three Films About the Power of the Past by British filmmaker Adam Curtis.

From the NYTIMES: "The patients at the Allan Memorial Institute at McGill were put into a drugged sleep for weeks or months, subjected to electroshock therapy until they were "de-patterned," knowing neither who or where they were, and forced to listen repeatedly to recorded messages broadcast from speakers on the wall or under their pillows.

Linda Macdonald, 55 years old, an employment counselor now in Vancouver, is one of those who sued for compensation. "I walked through those doors with a husband on one arm and a guitar on the other and was a healthy person and coherent," she said.

Diagnosed as an acute schizophrenic -- she had gone to Dr. Cameron for treatment -- she spent 86 days in the "sleep room" and was subjected to 109 shock treatments and megadoses of barbiturates and other drugs. Reduced to a Blank Slate

When she got out of the experiment, she could not read or write, had to be toilet-trained and could not remember her husband, her five children or any part of the first 26 years of her life."
