Title: New Floyd album..????
Post by: Moonloop on Wed, 2005-05-04, 15:04:55
Floyd site "Brain Damage" posted the following translation taken from an article in Poland's most reputable newspaper, Rzeczpospolita, from an interview with David Gilmour:

Zbigniew Preisner was aked to co-produce and to do orchestral arrangements on David Gilmour's new solo album. Leszek Mozdzer is involved too. Preisner said that they had already recorded some music in Gilmour's own studio in London.
"Probably it will be David's solo album, but it is not out of the question that it could be a new Pink Floyd album. They will be deciding together later - Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright" said Preisner. "It was so amazing to meet this great master. It's a great honour to share a table with Gilmour, not to mention working with him in the studio" said Mozdzer. Another Polish engineer, Rafal Paczkowski, will be involved in orchestral session recording for the project.

Maybe nothing to get excited about, at the very least though, a new solo album to look forward to  ;D

(whether it'll be any good or not is or course, debatable  ;) )

Oh no!!! Another Pink Floyd album??? Pink Floyd died first time in 1969 when Syd Barrett died, again in 1981 when Roger Waters goes out... after that what we have is something called "Pink Gilmour Floyd Band". Let Pink Floyd die in peace! Don't use the name "Pink Floyd" to foolish the people and earn more money !!!!

LOL Loopy, and you so nearly had me flummoxed for a reply...

That is, until I realised that I have access to an old pianola that takes those spiky cylinders (you know, the ones that "ping-the-tuned-metal-comb-type-thing)...

Well, I reckon that using my Atari, I can create a program to print-out a template...

...and then I can follow the template with a hedge-trimmer, across a selection of Astro-Turf...

...wrap said piece-of-contoured-astro-turf around a spindle...and voila...instant "Prog-on-A-Spiky-Stick"....

Available tunes are currently limited to early Thin Ice material and GLD (existing Atari Pro-24 / Cubase MIDI Files) at present...

...and I'd advise going for the Thin Ice Studio-stuff...as GLD, cut into Astro-Turf, looks like a "Bad Hair Day"....


:D

BTW, you will never know HOW close I came to being Public Enemy No.1 for hedgehog-lovers, when I started to write this post...thank fudge for Astro-Turf...!

Ooh...I hate it when you get technical  ::)  ;D

Early "Thin Ice" eh....... you mean back in the times when Tracy Hitchings had long hair and Clive did lead vocals  ;D

Tracy with long hair....aaaahhhh (Starts to sound like Bart Simpson dreaming of Duff Beer... :-[ )
I just had to remind myself by looking at the picture of Quasar in "The Loreli" booklet...


Aaaaahhhh....another "Duff Beer" moment....certainly not duff...   :o



As for Clive doing lead vocals...

I thought that his vocals were quite good, and not heavy at all...

choose another metal..!  ;D

A wonderfully apt analogy. Excuse me whilst I join you in a "Tracy moment"  ;D
