HAUNTING SOUND FROM THE COLD WAR ERA
We don.t know much about this particular instrument.s history - a friend
of Soniccouture, Tom Heywood ( Discography ), who runs Normal Bias studios
in Berlin, found it in one of the city.s many flea markets. It was sold to
him by a vendor who specialises in DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik)
era collectibles. It is a child.s toy piano, made of plastic.
It has a wonderfully clanky, bell like tone with very loud, distinctive
key-off sounds as the keys disengage. The instrument was recorded with a
spaced stereo pair of vintage Neumann mics, in Normal Bias Studios, Berlin
in August 2011.
