The Crimson Twins (one of whom you may remember as Randy Stack, whose parrot interacts with Kyma through the live microphone) are now on-line with 38 songs in modem-friendly 32 Kbps stereo mp3 format. CT is an experimental group who use a variety of peculiar technologies and alternate MIDI controllers in the creation of their "aural amusements." Included among these aural amusements is Aunt Helen's Bath, a dance piece produced with Kyma. Randy says he was inspired to create the CT mp3 site by another Kyma user. Visit the web site for the all-you-can-eat CT buffet with over 3 hrs of mp3s.

With musical tools ranging from Buchla and Kyma synthesizers to scissors and glue, this band has been exploring curious aural amusements and esoteric electronic instruments since the early 80s.
