I've just heard that Hawkwind's original audio manipulator has passed away. He was an innovator in a time when equipment for creating such noises couldn't be bought off the shelf. His contributions changed how Band X were received.

Very sad. I hope he's burbling and modulating in the great beyond.

RIP

Fuck. RIP indeed. Very sad news.

I love the bit on the Hawkwind doc where Lemmy describes the effects of the audio generator going beyond certain sonic ranges on the audience.
