SAIC Student Bethany Childs And Playing An Interfaced Conch Shell

May 15, 2008
Bethany Childs and Electronic Conch Shell, Part Two

While its instrumentation was made popular in William Golidng's 1954 snuff novel Lord of the Flies, Bethany Childs brings conch shell back by electrifying it thanks to the SAIC Artbus. Aside from its newfound interfacing capabilities, the conch shell gets some more color from some knobs controlling delay and pitch shifting on the conch shell.

Why don't you reference that in your next song, Candadian Hip Hop Artist Buck 65?
