@iohndee The bit about the death mask of the French girl reminded me of a passage in Rilke; I looked it up and apparently it refers to the same woman. It's also appropriate in the context of Radio Dee that the second death mask in the passage is Beethoven's.
@iohndee Very cool to see the inside of the mellotron. I have a late 60s(still electromechanical) hammond organ & I also had to replace the electrolytic caps to get rid of the hum. Similar thing with hammonds where artists got some strange new sounds out of them; also kind of proto synths
