Tales of the 8-second Orchestra: The Mellotron Special, part 10

Monday Mayhem 20 7PM-10PM
Hosted by Pete Dixon, Earl Grey and Joe Shlabotnic
KFJC's Mellotronic researchers have unearthed yet more examples of music featuring this unusual keyboard instrument. It was effectively the first sampler, and was originally intended to be used for family entertainment in the home, but when some 60's pop and prog bands started using it, there was no holding it back! Sadly forgotten following the advent of digital synthesizers and samplers, it underwent a revival of interest in recent years, thanks to a number of contemporary artists who discovered the appeal of its unique sound and quirky nature.
