Hey guys...this is my first post here so...hooray for me..

I am looking to see if you guys could reccomend any gear for me to look at

Basically..I have a fairly cheap yamaha synth/organ and I want to run some things off it and either di, or run it out fo an amp. I am looking for gear that will be able to make some very abbrasive..shrill and savage sounds..preferably ones that will hurt the ears of listeners..your suggestions would be accepted with open arms..

Thanks.

You want to make peoples ears bleed?? Easy! All you need are 2 fuzz boxes, 2 to 4 mono Y-connectors and some patch leads.

Connect the first Y connector to the input of the first fuzz pedal then connect another to the out. Repeat the same with the second pedal.

Now, route the patch cords so they feedback on each of the pedals- take the output and put it through your amp (WATCH YOUR EARS!!!!!- I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY TO THE DAMAGE YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO TO YOUR EARDRUMS!!!!)

This following mp3 was made using a similar technique as explained above- it was also processed through a reverb- because it was part of a live 'in the dark' performance- and me and my friend Richard were trying to create the impression of a big space!

Okay. But it won't be right now I'm afraid- it's half eight in the evening. I never posted this stuff before because I thought it may not go down too well- but there you go :)

I have put some stuff on the hard drive- but I'm having difficulties locating it. I know its in there somewhere :)

As I said, to do it is really easy- it's not rocket science, and it's much more fun doing this kind of stuff than programming because it's so more 'hands on'!

Incidentally my friend Richard is in Japan right now teaching English as a foreign language. He also went there to find his heroes Masonna and Merzbow- I think he has found them too :)

We jammed on weekends for about 3-5 years (in the mid to late 90's, early 00's. It was sporadic, but we recorded most of the stuff onto Minidisc. There are hours and hours of this crazy stuff. I just don't have the time to edit it all right now- but I will sooner or later.

Tom :-)

I just found another track :) This one consists of part pre-recorded material played with improvised electronics. If my memory serves me right, it was part of a warm up for a gig that me and Richard did at "The Jug of Ale" pub in Moseley, Birmingham- part of a festival organised by Bearos records;

"The party continued without him (Mr John Peel) the following day with Tom from Telefunken teaming up with long term collaborator Dick AKA Magic City for a set of experimental/improvised noise. Not as unpleasant as it might sound - it fact it was one of the best gigs of the year, especially when they were joined by Jameson drummer, Nigel, for the encore. The line up was completed by the live debut of Papa November and a rare live appearance by The J Foundation." Date- 08-06-2000.

Neermind about the post 'hijacking'. I am usually in the position of doing it to other people, with much more disrespect. I am downloading the track currently but I also really wasting time I should be doing on homework. So I blame you for my future failures in life.

I'll get back to you on what I think of the track.

Also I am going to Geelong (Australia) very soon as I have a contact in the music store there who is willing to do me cost price on gear, that is why I was looking for some advice. I am hoping to get a big muff pedal, possibly two and an eq pedal with a range as far as the ear can hear (so I am told)

I played around a bit yesterday with the keys and a zoom707 mutli effects, that was fun but I want some anologues to play with and 'tweak' the sound rather than a digital reading to play with. An all anologue party, I can only dream

Thanks for the advice, I'll certainly give it a try.
