Here’s a bit of a tone poem (in a loose way) that I cobbled together somehow despite my cataract-filled eyeballs. Now that one of my eyeballs has been relieved of its cataracts, I was able to finish this song and get it published. All sounds are via the new “Klang” instrument in Reason 10, mostly in their natural mode, but one or two with significant effects applied.

Some time back in September, my eyes had deteriorated to the point where I was unable to continue working on this song. So it’s kind of just a song starter at this point, just to play with the new (to me) Rack Extension for Reason 9.5, after which the song is named. The Chambertron was a forerunner to the Mellotron. By the time I get my eyes fixed (cataracts) I will be more interested in moving on to Reason 10 and its shiny new distractions, so I thought I’d just tie a ribbon around this one and call it done.

The forces of Light and Darkness square off in this sonic smackdown. Features the titular Evil Eye Baby Doll Optical Theremin in the role of “Darkness”.

Here’s the aforementioned doll theremin, a real find whilst looking on eBay for circuit bent toys a few years ago.

The title is not a value judgement. Rather, it refers to a Rack Extension for Propellerhead Reason 9.5 called Noxious Additive Synthesizer, by Zvork. But what’s in a name? This song (more of an extended loop, really) uses the Noxious synth exclusively, for all sounds you hear apart from a little reverb and delay.

That weird talking-in-tongues guy is back, and he has some things to say.

Apart from the obvious Star Trek reference, the title refers to the virtual instrument for Propellerhead Reason 9.5 called “Parsec”, of which there are twelve instances in this song. Everything you hear is from the Parsec. It’s Parsecs all the way down.

Title is just my politically incorrect way of saying it’s in the key of C. An improvement on the working title “White Notes Matter”, arguably.

No relation to the world’s largest rubber ducky which recently paid a visit to our inner harbour, in celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday.
