Re: instruments in Kate's music

[spudboy%dlsun87@us.oracle.com (Jon Drukman)]

Bob Krovetz asks about Kate's unusual musical instruments.  Chris
Williams covered most of them.

>Banshee (Violin)

i think this refers to the real "screamy" background vocals.

>Koto (All We Ever Look For)

japanese stringed instrument.

>Prophet 5 (Egypt)                [a kind of synthesizer?]

chris called it "digitally controlled analog" but it isn't.  it's an
analog controlled analog.  nice beast.

>Synclavier (There Goes a Tenner) [a kind of synthesizer?]

a sampler & sound editing system.

>Valiha (Love and Anger)
>Tupan (Deeper Understanding)

the valiha is that weird stringed thing that Paddy is playing in the
video - it hangs around his neck and sticks out in a somewhat phallic
manner.  the tupan is some sort of ethnic drum, i believe.
