MG:

The Leamon Sound Device hands out sounds the way I'd rather hear them:
Individual channels playing through many separate speakers, arranged in a
top-to-bottom circle, the ears receiving singled-out tones that radiate from above,
left and right and bottom - really 24 different directions.

First experiencing the LSD is strange and funny - until you realize that Mr. Leamon's
machine wasn't built just for kicks; the technology has a great potential
to educate kids [and adults] on the wonders of sound, and gives audio/visual
artists a completely new venue for creative work.

Twenty-four tracks get rustled into a pile and are spun back out into the room
as little cyclones of sound, or sweeping vocal choruses, or as twinkling pin pricks.

Mr. Leamon studies the construction of each composition like an architect's
blueprint, then presents the pieces in a quiet, darkened room.

The experience seems more complete by moving across the room, hearing the
sounds nearest to your ear, and hearing others from below or behind.

Everything truly sounds larger in here.

If there was ever a device that could gather Brian Eno, Phil Specter,
Stockhausen and Phillip Glass into one room, this would be it. And this
would be the room.

DI:

I would think that a softer version of LSD would be nice. Delicate, to explore
the fine tunings of its range.

Reply to DI from Roy:

I invite you to come listen to some of the softer pieces I have already made on
the system. Because of your love for techno-style music I have tended to look for
the most "beaty" and techno-loud things I have done when you come over to listen.

BUT -- I am still in search of a composition that is a "field" in 24-channels of ambient
chord, a sostenuto kind of like on "Wish You Were Here," with, at times, the most
subtle, but unmistakable, ripple through it, over the 24 sources...
