The whole band (Odin) had rented a house near Ochsenfurt (Gaukoenigshofen) where we had a nice practice room. One late evening I was fooling around with a very small and simple gadget called "Stylophone", that I had taken apart so that I could put my fingers on the various parts on the circuitboard, thus altering the tone. Wearing headphones, but also using the reverb of the Hammond organ as an effect, I did not realise that the speaker of the organ was also on. Thus my "creative output" of several takes to a 4-track reel-to reel blasted out into the village until the early morning, as I had gotten quite carried away with the possibilities of the sounds.
The next day our landlord called on me and told me: "Das kann teuer werden..."

Anymore (Conover/Welin)

This is a recording of a large earth mover "Cat" that is taking a house down behind ours. Quite exciting and three local birds and hummingbirds are very nervous so I decided to record this clip. After 20 years, we  just gained quite an extensive view of the entire Los Angeles skyline. We also lost a large 40 foot tree that housed many of our local birds. They seem to be  Working through it. Funny how things like that work.
