"As I stepped on the moon, I looked around, dazed...magnificent. The vast, sandy silver surface was almost illusory." - Neil Armstrong
'live modular + bass guitar rehearsed improv. upper noises provided by duet of make noise DPO and tip top z3000, cymbals again by STG .SHN, cyclebox doing a variety of modulations and the entire thing clocked by Flame Clockwork. vocal loop thanks to my mouth hole + a digitech RDS 7.6, bass thanks to the epiphone newport.'

"Here's a little bit of trivia you may not know about the RCA theremin in this video. According to Apollo astronaut Neil Armstrong's biographer, Andrew Smith, Armstrong actually took a recording of this theremin with him into space for the moon landing in 1969. The previous owner of this instrument, Dr. Samuel Hoffman, used it on his 1947 recording, MUSIC OUT OF THE MOON. Neil Armstrong liked the sound of it so much that he made a cassette tape of it from his personal record collection and took it with him to the moon."
