Title: Instrument on Adult/Child Tracks Post by: Seagull Merlin on October 18, 2017, 04:37:49 PM Hey guys I'm back from the sidelines with another question. It's been bugging me but I can't figure out the electric sounding instrument used on It's Over Now, Still I Dream of It and Deep Purple. I can only think to describe it as a flourishing noise? haha
it's on the end of deep purple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zx4nTDvw5o -around 2:07 and on it happens at the start of SIDOI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoRhd-XUYkM 0:01 and on and same with the beginning of ION https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D1Kx79Fe4w around 0:04 If you know what plays this I'll be greatly appreciative! :3d Title: Re: Instrument on Adult/Child Tracks Post by: ForHerCryingSoul on October 18, 2017, 11:45:09 PM I've always thought that was an electric guitar with a heavy flanger on it, or a synthesizer, perhaps a Moog, or a Farifsa (that's the name of the synth that does light string sounds, right?)

Farfisa is a portable, plastic organ. The light string sounds you're thinking of would more likely be from an ARP String Ensemble. I've obtained the AFM contracts from those sessions, and among the players is guitarist Dennis Budimir, who is paid for "2 doubles" - leading me to suspect that, in addition to playing guitar on the basic track, he overdubbed extra parts - one of which I would suspect to be a guitar with that "flourish" effect you've described. At any rate, I've long wondered the same as you what specifically is making that sound on those songs, and wondered if it might be a synth. But now I tend to suspect guitar, based on that finding.

Would love to find out what it is! (I'm guessing a guitar flanger pedal, but who knows): I just started digging into Prince’s catalog (which just finally hit Spotify), and noticed an identical-sounding flanging/phasing instrument on his 1978 song “So Blue” at 3:15 (no Youtube link available for this, but it’s on Spotify), which sounds just like the flanging/phasing instrument on The BBs’ “It’s Over Now” at 2:24. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agEYBfq4PbE Title: Re: Instrument on Adult/Child Tracks Post by: Mr. Wilson on October 19, 2017, 10:30:30 AM could it be a flanger or phaser guitar effect..the wilder the sound the more likely its a flanger.. but i dont have the disk in truck to listen too.. just guessing..
