What instrument is this?

   I've been listening to a lot of Ozric Tentacles and Early Porcupine Tree and most of Floyd.

What kind of instrument is producing the sound-effects...they can be heard vastly on Sunday of Life,Downstair and Sky Moves Sideways.

Is it just fooling around with ambience on the computer or a synthesizer?

	mostly synth and guitar. A lot of them through selfmade synth effects. Well, not sure of those particular songs, but the bands use it like this a lot.

	selfmade synth effects? I understand the synthesizer and guitar but the selfmade effects I don't.

	The Silver Apples built their own synth in the late sixties, I don't see why other people wouldn't be able to do so with relative ease using more recent technology.

	Tis true. This guy built his own and has worked on Keith Emerson's moog. http://rubidium.dyndns.org/~magnus/synths/friends/stopp/ http://users.rcn.com/thefront/EmersonRig.html
