Pink Floyd inflatables to hit auction block

Posted August 27, 2015 by Floydian Slip

A number of Pink Floyd inflatables, including the pig that flew over Battersea Power Station on the cover of the band’s 1977 album “Animals,” will be going up for bid.

On Sept. 15, Durrants will auction off a collection of rock and roll inflatables, which also includes items associated with Roger Waters‘, solo; Queen; The Rolling Stones and others.

Other Floyd-related items will include a 15-foot anatomically-correct pig used by the Floyd after Waters’ departure from the group; and a 60-foot pig’s head and the teacher inflatable used during Waters’ 1990 concert of “The Wall” in Berlin, Germany.

The items come from Rob Harries, owner of Air Artists in Halesworth, creator of the items.

Algie (pictured), the pig from the “Animals” cover, famously broke free from its tether during photography. Listen to Hipgnosis’s Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell tell the story when we spoke with him in January.

Details of the auction will be available at the Durrants website.

Signed Pink Floyd artwork to benefit charity

Posted January 9, 2014 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has signed 10 limited edition prints, which are being sold to benefit charity.

Digital Artist Tim Wakefield uses soundwaves as templates to create some pretty far out artwork. His Pink Floyd piece is title “Careful with That Axe, Eugene,” inspired by the 1968 song of the same name. The number was originally released as the B-side to the “Point Me at the Sky” single, and later appeared on the 1971 “Relics” compilation.

Ten prints of his Floyd piece, signed by Mason, along with works inspired by Alice Cooper, Kate Bush, Queen, Eric Clapton and many others are being sold at the Indiegogo site.

Sales of the prints benefit the War Child’s Children of Syria Appeal, which will create safe havens in Syrian refugee camps to help protect children affected by the conflict.

The Floyd piece is 40″ x 40″ and goes for $1,000.

Learn more at Indigogo.

Nick Mason releases drum sample library

Posted November 15, 2013 by Floydian Slip

Want to play drums like Nick Mason? Sorry, we can’t help you.

But a new sample library from the Pink Floyd drummer can at least help you sound like him.

Mason’s created a sample library of his custom Ludwig “Black Kit” that promises to deliver a virtual recreation of the kit to be played with any MIDI keyboard or e-drum setup.

The sample library comes in FXPansion’s BFD2 format and includes mic channels that can be mixed for what’s being described by publisher Sonic Reality as “full album quality, vintage ’70s drums.”

The recording sessions for the samples were produced by Alan Parsons (“The Dark Side of the Moon”) using the same EMI mixing console Floyd did in the ’70s.

You can buy Nick Mason Drums online for $69/£43.
