	Indian style electric string thing: the LeoVibe At the time I was producing the album Open I made and used a tanpure-like instrument. Basic a log of wood with strings attached and amplified like an electric guitar. It sounds a bit like a sitar due to a special bridge, causing the strings to buzz. It wasn't for playing melodies; just a drone, played like a tanpura. Through the years I made some enhancements. And now it has got a set of sympatic strings, buzzing along with the main strings. It's still a proto type kind of thing, but since I started playing the thing with a slide it actually became a melodic instrument, sounding 'typical Indian' with all the twang and ziiing.... Home made synths Proudly presenting! Now I'm happy, and it's still working! More functions and samples inside, and a more balanced surface. LeonatorMacro+  Earth Drone, sample player with ambient and synth sounds. For endlessly changing coloursounds or used as fat synthesizer. Highly intuitive! EarthDroneC H.C. Feiler (2010) Now The songs (36 in total...) have been mastered, and we're quite happy with the results. Small things have to be done and then it's ready. We cannot believe it ourselves! -------------------------------   These songs were composed and performed by H.C. Feiler in my studio. They are famous Dutch poems, put on music. Most of them are just acoustic guitar and singing, some with keyboard. We`ve been on it for more than two years, and it slowly comes to a whole. Now the songs are there, and we can fill in the picture more clearly.  The poems are beautiful, and most of all meaningful, and a lot of them actualy formed the backdrop of his life, at the time of recording.
