Turtuga Blanku *Solar Power Music (TM)* Hi,

Turtuga Blanku has just launched his own webhome in cyberspace:

http://www.TurtugaBlanku.com

Spam? Sure, but it is ECO-spam: all music on this new, fancy website was produced using solar power only (as described above).

Step by to bask in recorded sunshine if you feel the need!

The 'Green Machine', the studio in which Turtuga Blanku music is recorded, runs completely on solar power. How does that work? Well, you need the sun and a couple of solar panels. Those you place in such a way that they catch the sun for a maximum number of daylight hours. The Green Machine has them on the roof, four pairs in total. Converted energy is lead to a special meter cupboard and six deep loading batteries. Those are a bit different from your regular car battery. They are 6 Volts, but connected in parallel as to put out 12 Volts DC. A converter further changes this into 110 Volts 60 Hz AC. Because of the batteries, the Green machine is also operational after the sun has set and the coyotes have started to howl. Hold on..there's no coyotes here..hmmm.. must be Turtuga Blanku himself… Anyway, now you know why Turtuga Blanku songs are so sunny and make you feel warm inside ;^) Turtuga Blanku To listen to recorded sunrays, please visit: www.myspace.com/turtugablanku *solar power music (TM)* Chapter SP, in which you learn how sunrays are converted into Turtuga Blanku music…

It should be done by the end of the week. It runs off the bike's generator, and the pads are triggered by magnetic switches affixed to the spokes. So, the faster you ride, the louder it gets and the faster the tempo. Controls are mounted near the handgrips so you can tweak the beats without taking your eyes off the road. I don't know if it could power a whole studio though. You'd have to ride really really fast. I’m working on a bicycle-powered drum machine. It should be done by the end of the week.

Not that I care, I'm recording in my 2006 Humscalade driving down a newly paved over forest while chowing down on a Big Mac and choking a baby seal. Ahhhhhhh, summer days.
