PTSD/CPTSD playlist (I would start with the second song, though I'm not sure yet how good overall it is.)

You won't believe me but if you listen closely you may overhear my avatar making these noises. Maybe even whispering sweet nothings to you in your ear.

I was listening to Christmas music on Lite FM and I heard a long block of commercials followed by three songs I don't like, followed by more commercials. I like songs with good singing, not Rudolph or John Lennon. Bing Crosby can sing but he doesn't sound exceptional. Someone like Frankie Lymon or Aaron Neville or Clide McFatter I'd like. I like exceptional soloists whether they're singers or instrumentalists, and here's one of the latter:
On this date in 1976, electronic musician DAVID VORHAUS demonstrated the KALEIDOPHON to Tomorrow's World presenter Judith Hann, (December 2nd 1976)
Best remembered for his pioneering work in White Noise - the English electronic collaborative with BBC Radiophonic Workshop legends Brian Hodgson and Delia Derbyshire that delivered the seminal 1969 album 'An Electric Storm' (widely considered to be one of the first major electronic releases of its kind) - David Vorhaus decided to design and construct an instrument that would allow him to control synthesised sounds.
"I made the ribbons for the Kaleidophon using thermal paper which has a carbon underlay with a wax coating," explained David.
"I got hold of some of the material before they put the wax on and, amazingly, its resistance was quite linear. Obviously paper wasn’t robust enough so I got them to put it on plastic. Eventually these were made for me by the French Space Agency because the person who worked for Ozalid in the UK, who made the original strings for me, died and took the manufacturing secret with him.
The triggering is activated by pressing on the strings and the fingerboard is velocity-sensitive so you can hit it harder to get a louder note or a different effect. There are controllers at the bottom for the right hand and other devices such as chromatic switches to make it behave like a fretted instrument. It can also be semi-fretted, which corrects you if you’re close to the right note but still lets you do slides."
"The instrument itself generates voltage control, but I can feed it into my CV-to-MIDI converter and use it to control just about anything."
The instrument has been continually modified since and still functions to this day.
