― Maggot Bairn (Tom D.), Thursday, Febru5:38 AM (two hours ago) bookmarkflaglink (xp) I don't know if you mean there's mellotron on the album because there isn't afaict. ***and mellotrons are organs made of tape loops! so it all fits I am prepared to argue strongly that wyatt's (and soft machine's) taste for this effect derives from their experiments with tape loops (which often introduce tuning glitches as a likeable effect you'd want to repeat) as well as mike ratledge's sometimes wayward organ (same argument)*** - and of course tuning effects are also a feature of the wing of minimalism that isn't reich and glass ![]() tuning that veers away from classical piano tuning is of course present all across all kinds of folk and popular musics, so the term has plenty places it can be used beyond bossa nova **meaning the deliberate pitch bending or detuning of notes and melodies, as made popular in 1959 by the brazilian jobim/gilberto hit (which was an ironic embrace of the term bcz ppl were saying that bossa nova was music for ppl who couldn't sing). *in an 80s interview, i ?think? in ref to the excellence of the raincoats (tho it's possible i subsequently supplied this in my head as a good example) ![]() Oddly enough wyatt himself has supplied* the word (or a word) for this effect = desafinado**
