Dousa and Sigmund bring you this weeks news from the Metaverse.

Cedric inquires: And there are couple musical instruments that I can t really tell where I can get it from. It is the famous flute sound from Enigma, I hear that all the time , even other artists using it sometimes. Another one is the Electronic Brass sound from Vangelis, I guess that is his signature lol. Just lovely. TWO OF MY FAVES TO SOUNDSPOT! The Enigma flute is an old E-mu Emulator II shakuhachi sample, as featured on Famous Sounds. It s funny how people call it expressive, because it seems to be a single sample. Play it for less than the full duration, and the airy chiff is absent – therefore, the lack of loop points allows for perceived dynamicism when used in a performance. I don t have the sample with me but I used it in Lovers Dance : Download audio file (Torley_Wong-Lovers__Dance.mp3) Vangelis has used a lot of different brass sounds but if I were to single out a signature, it d be the rich, detuned sounds coming from his Yamaha CS-80. Arturia makes the CS-80V (I have Analog Factory which contains some selections from this, including very Vangelistic sounds) and East West Quantum Leap s Goliath actually has a few sounds dedicated to this, too. Here s me playing one of them, infact. I use far more pitch bend that Vangy tends to, but that s me compensating for lack of a ribbon controller:

Conquers the Universe The film starts on Earth. A deadly plague has been ravaging the planet, known as the Purple Death because it leaves a purple spot on the forehead of its victims. Ming the Merciless is suspected to be behind the plague, and Flash Gordon is sent with Dr. Alexis Zarkov and Dale Arden to the planet Mongo to find the cause of the plague, as well as a cure. Caused by Ming's spaceships dropping "Death Dust" into the Earth's atmosphere, they eventually find an antidote, Polarite, for it and Flash and Zarkov distribute it by the same method soon after the start of the series, while Dale Arden remains in the forest kingdom. Soon reunited with her, the trio continue to battle Ming, his cohorts, and his underlings. Ming's Captain Torch is the "spearpoint villain" of this serial, a type of character which the previous two did not have. He takes tactical command of the efforts to stop them. Before they leave, they destroy Ming by locking him in a tower and crashing a rocket ship loaded with Solarite into it. Prince Barin takes his rightful place as ruler of Mongo. In his rage, Ming said, similar to King Louis XIV of France, "I am the universe!" for nearly his last words. And so, with a simple metaphor, Flash Gordon is said by Zarkov at the end of the series to have conquered the universe.
