Striking the coil with your fingernails sends out a mysterious sound wave
that travels back and forth between you and your phone friend, sounding like
you are at the other end of a wormhole or some other interdimensional
structure.
So, what's the big deal, you might ask. My SoundEdit Pro software has
an infinite variety of echos, reverbs, pitch control combinations, etc,.
etc.
Three basic reasons - One - it's fun to make sounds with SpacePhones
to your friends; Two - its an excellent sound base for creating cool digital
sound effects--it adds an organic quality to your sound bytes, very hard
to generate with synthesizers. I treat the SpacePhone like a seasoning or
a spice for sound.
And three, the Spacephones come from our very own toy company here
in Rainbow Territory, Golden Spiral. We've played with them through many
parties, rituals and special events, and they've always pegged our fun
meters.
