about

The joys of hardware! Those cumbersome modes, big metal boxes with small displays, hidden control structures accessed with clicky interfaces.

This is what this record is all about. Preparing the instruments, scribbling down the buttons to press, then letting the tape run. Unleashing the automatons under the superficial control of two hands run by the soft machine of human brain.

These tracks are my personal poke at being the 'Synth Wiz' immortalized by the likes of Keith Emerson, Jean-Michel Jarre and Howard Jones. That mysterious, octopi-like player behind stacks of classic gear, dialing in new layers of electronic sound. The recordings are all straight takes: two or three synths, a drum machine, a human and some triggered sequences.

Track listing:

1. Bath Spa 02:57
2. A New Low 03:53
3. Black Nancy 05:21

Total running time 12:10
