Re: Self-indulgent crap

2012-04-11 by mellotronmadness

Welcome Roberto,

I don't think there are any happy notes on a mellotron, even major chords sound miserable! I hadn't thought of it that way but the tron is a very self indulgent instrument, your proposed music sounds wonderful, please post it to the list.

Cheers

Mark
