about
When creating this track, I thought about what sort of sound manipulation would be available for someone using Edison cylinders. It seems the main ones would be reversing, speed and pitch, which I've stuck to - and I've also added some additional mechanical noise [think: badly-treated cylinders] and simulated the sound of music being recorded in a basement.
I was also quite taken by the deranged laughter on Ma Ragtime Baby, so I wanted to make something that sounded suitably strange and slightly disturbing.
