What can you do with, or should I say TO an omnichord.
Well, there are people out there looking for omni-evolution. This is one of them.

The Omnichord Album part 1
I've been thinking about making an omnichord album for a long time, ever since I heard 'Scream if you want to go faster' by the High Fidelity. They produced the 'Omnichord Album' in 2000. Their founder/singer Sean Dickson (ex-Soup Dragons) wrote 11 songs starring the Omnichord in the leading role.I just picked up a copy locally through a 2nd hand site today.
I found this reaction Sean Dickson* wrote somewhere:
"This was a concept dreamt up by myself and John Peel after buying him an Omnichord for his 60th birthday . It still is one of my proudest achievements and every track sums up 5 beautiful years spent with Adrian , Ross and Paul . Hopefully one day people will realise how this album and Demonstration by The High Fidelity were completely out on their own and likely 10 years ahead of themselves . A second Omnichord album is in the making after a strange last 10 years but years a person would have to take to reach this point of being proud of this band"
Mmmm, interesting read, I'm looking forward to hearing this album!
* Sean Dickson currently works as a DJ under the name Hifi Sean

Old plans for a new OMNICHORD?
I designed a 'new' omnichord in 2004 hoping it would be the next step forward. I was the Benelux Qchord importer then, and the Qchord hadn't changed since its launch in the 1990's. There were a lot of things I didn't like about the Q, so I decided to think up a better one. I wanted an Omnichord that would suit the needs of a songwriter like myself. The Omnichord Songwriter. Turned out, I wasn't the only one...
Looking at it now, I would probably change the design again to a more Retro looking Omnichord, but I still love all the functionalities we came up with. We? yes, I consulted several Omnichord players around the world for their ideas. It was a labour of love. They're still waiting for the end result:-)
In time and if there's enough interest, I'll explain more about it.
I hope this idea will sprout in people's minds, create wings and fly, cause I would love to see a new Omnichord one day!
