   About Thomas Doncourt/ Fauve
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Photograph by Chuck Bernklau, Sculpture by Thomas Doncourt


DI-O-RA-MA: a life-size display representing a scene from nature, a historical event, or the like, using stuffed wildlife, wax figures, real objects, etc., in front of a painted or photographed background.

Somewhere in the far storerooms of my head are dark cellars. Every so often I find myself rummaging back there with a dim light. If I am lucky I find a switch and something flickers into view. This music is my attempt to bring back, preserve and share what 's in this space. A lot of acoustic instruments were used on this album. I have been preoccupied with a long pursuit of interesting sounds and the objects that create them. It has led me to some very unusual places and has given my home the demeanor of a museum. Several of the instruments were built in a shop I created for such a purpose and at my home away from home the Exhibition department of the American Museum of Natural History. The Mellotron is used extensively. Recent renewed interest in this instrument has meant that I've been able to get my 30+ year old love into excellent working order again. It is an M400 with servo motor and has been rebuilt by the master, Jerry Korb. The tape frames are from Mellotron Archives and Streetly as well a rack from Sound Sales and the originals . I also used a very unique analog synthesizer, the Yamaha CS70M .

Hi sweetie,

so sorry about that I must have passed you the wrong one.

That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all crazy because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like contests and stuff instead of cash.

But anyways, the working site is

B E S T O F 1 2 3 . COM

it's the one I am making $900 a week with putting in about 23 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm day dreaming.

After you get your membership make sure you register with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay the most, I got $60 for one that took me 45 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you start.

Brit started taking them too and she's making $700 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.

Alright well me and Jake are getting ready to leave, just give me a call or I'll catch you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership.
