Chris Pittman has provided a collection of preset sounds for the recently released Minimoog audio plug-in.

I've got this piece of software, it sounds very cool.  He's credited as  the 'keyboardist/effects man in Guns N' Roses'.

I thought we'd all agreed Chris Pittman was merely the figment of our collective imagination - so there really is a Chris Pittman?

And look - he has a picture too

Don't talk about chris pitman .... Slash and Duff may find out and start filing lawsuit b/c he's mention as being in guns n roses .

SUBJECT: BLAIR'S SPIDERS

Q: "I just recently borrowed Lusk's (Free Mars' and noticed you play a role on the secret song. How did all this come about and what exactly is the overall theme? Could you explain some of the effects used in making this song?"

A: One day I was just minding my business when there was a knock on my door. It was Chris Pitman and Paul D'Amour (ex-bass player for Tool) of the band Lusk. They were holding a couple of bottles of imported ale and asked me if I'd like to come into the studio and do something on the hidden track. They wanted me to 'act'' like there was a spider in the studio that was freaking me out, so much so, that I spent a considerable amount of time trying to kill the damn thing. Well, I drank the beer and did the song in one take, using a plastic 'spider vacuum' someone had given me as a gift as an additional sound effect. (NOTE: this particular spider vacuum, purchased in a Sky-Mall catalogue, turned out to be a real piece of shit. Every time I used it, I would invariably 'lose' the spider parked on the wall, and have to move bookshelves, etc. The best [safest] method, and the only one that is recommended by Arachnophagous, the official arachnophobia journal, is to use a modified sponge mop with a strip of extra-sticky masking tape drizzled with a fine mist of insecticide). The overall theme is that if you think you've killed the spider, but haven't actually seen the body, then you can never be certain that you've truly killed it, can you?. You've got to have the dead remains of the thing, which should then be quickly flushed down the toilet as an extra precaution. If not, it's time to start moving furniture, etc. The technology used on the track included Chris's Korg MS-20 which was feeding back on itself to create its own rhythm. It was an experimental piece (and no spiders were killed in the process).

Looks like Chris makes a habit of hanging around nut-jobs
