Title: [acoustic] still looks the same (mp3)

Nothing lost
Nothing gained
no matter how hard you look
it all still looks the same

Mike and I recorded this in 1980 - and Norm kindly added percussion.
Ice9 provided the song icon - I did add some plasma and a shadow - hope you don't mind Bill. Please excuse where the voices get a bit out of tune at one point.

Nice 'glassy' sounds there.

They sound like little sticks on strings like a wind chime The brush strokes I liked a lot, as well as the 'little extra' beats thrown in at random (dun remember musical term for that).

On the singing, I didn't hear anything really out of tune. You guys sounded good!

Sam - if it is the same sound residentgrey is referring to that's a bell tree I'm almost certain.

If it's called a bell tree, then I made one myself with a collection of mainly bicycle bells :

you can get an idea of Norm's set up from this picture. I'm thinking his bell tree - perhaps the wrong name - is towards the top right of center.

You're quite right. A main example of a ringmodulated sound ..!
