Mandolin from Mars: Proto-Soundclips for Review

["Krispen Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

I have four "proto-soundclips" ready on myspace now, from my upcoming 
improvisational CD "Mandolin from Mars". I haven't decided whether all of 
these will be on the CD yet. I'm waiting until I have 20 or so songs 
complete. Anyway, I'd love any thoughts or comments on them.

I'm using a Goldtone 6-string mandolin, running through an LR Baggs 
acoustic 
preamp, my laptop system, various VST and MAX/MSP effects, Reaktor, Mobius 
for looping, etc.  One song, "Astrophonic Dreams in the Tube", which will 
also be on Project MRI (Chain Tape Collective), uses an ambient 
substratum, 
a recording of an MRI machine and processed like mad by Reaktor and other 
VSTs....depictions of my wonderful daydreams while getting my lower back 
scanned in the tube last year before back surgery....delightful 
experience, 
if I may add.

Check em' out...the CD should be ready in late Spring.
