LAVINRAC

The spike organ or nail chello (sic) is thought to originate from an early middle Europe monastic sect, the Iscariotians. They may have used the instrument to accompany their lengthy rituals contemplating the pain of the crucifixion.  

The Iscariotians are said to have been wiped out by returning crusaders at the behest of emperor Leopold III. Other commentators have suggested that the whole story may have been a constructed  alibi for the defeated crusaders plunder and desecration of the brewery of ..Santa Quaffa...


A possible surviving 'chello' object, made from of lignum vitae and iron, resides in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen. Its interpretation is not without controversy with some critics asserting the object is nothing more than a kind of agricultural implement, though this does not explain its cruciform shape and carved decoration.

In 1972 the scholar . Roland de Févin was granted permission to investigate the Rouen Chello, explore its sound making capabilities and make recordings. his theory was that the instrument was to be played by a rosined bow.  Unfortunately de Févin's playing and handling resulted in two of the nails fracturing and so the investigation was terminated after only one day. The single recording de Févin made was never released but it was played to audiences on an European lecture tour he conducted shortly before his death in 1974. 

It has been subsequently alleged that de Févin's  investigation  coincided with the great fire at  Nantes cathedral. This lead to several occultist conspiracy theories, most notably retold in the pulp fiction novel Blood Nail-(Brownie Dane,1975) much of the plot was lifted for the Italian soft core film Sistero Orgasma (1977) where the action was switched away from a monastery to a scantily clad convent.(citation needed) 

On the film soundtrack, the sounds of the Chello were replicated by experimental electronic synthesiser the achoirorium- itself the  subject of intrigue- as its extremely high operating voltages caused the death of its creator  Luigi soon after the recording session.


This recording was made in 1980 by UK avant geographer Forster Iberix who attended several of de Févin's lectures.  He set about building a replica device and making reconstructions of the Iscariotarian mass based on a column of scribbled numbers  which appear reverso  in one of Leonardo da Vinci's codex's (Coded notebooks). The recording was released on an untitled flexi disk issued by cult French label sordide sentimental -who now deny any knowledge of its existence. It does not appear on their official discography.  Improbably- Haringey local studies library, London, has a copy in their archive. The library does not provide any method of playback for the flexidisc and items from the archive cannot be withdrawn -so some subterfuge was involved in me getting this track taped. Whilst the disk was in my possession an inexplicable number of minor disasters befell me -so I can assure you I hurriedly returned it.

The Nail Chello (disquiet0385)

From a melancholy enveloping, slightly depressing idm with sentimental keys, it carries away a rattling hum and the motor of human feelings is rapidly gaining momentum. Movements are born from the body, and the listener, picked up by the tune of tin bells from the liquid cyber space, is in a void Nowhere framed by a velvet perforator.

🌋Cycling in Minami Aso🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
The Aso caldera is one of the largest volcanic features of its kind, measuring 25 km north to south, 18 km east to west, and 128 km in circumference. It stands in Aso Kujū National Park in Kumamoto Prefecture, on the island of Kyushu. Its peak is 1,592 metres above sea level. The valley is a global rarity home to fertile land, human communities, and even a railway. Join us on a virtual ride as we cycle Minami Aso Village and take in its nature and culture.

World,

This is the first composition of Dreamscape - Chapter One: "Origins". All parts of this composition are made by MLC Vanamsterdam, Radu Sover, Pablo Garcia-Hernandez, Sada Exposada and Sam Nelson.

It all started the 27th of november 2020 on the Facebook page of the Voltage Modular User Group with this message: "I was wondering: does anyone feel like participating in a project solely based on voltage modular? What I would like to achieve is: "One hour of music - not individual tracks: an experience - made by various musicians all over the world in different styles/genres using only their unique patches designed in Voltage Modular".

The guidlines for contributions were: BPM: 128, Scale: C-HARMONIC MINOR SCALE (C = Root | C D D# F G G# B)and Genre: No-limitations.

We didn't make the hour unfortunately, but 14 minutes. People already said this piece feels like a journey - I have had a lot of fun making this and i would like to thank every one who worked on this project and made this possible.

I hope in future we will create more chapters for Dreamscape.

Dreamscape - Chapter One: "Origins"

Dreamscape is a music project solely based on the modular software synthesizer made by Cherry Audio: Voltage Modular, hence the addition to the name: vmmp = voltage modular music  project. The project is initiated in november 2020 by MLC Vanamsterdam through the voltage-modular-users group on facebook.
