about

An album of unique, all analog electronica created and recorded in the summer of 1978 on 4-track reel to reel tape. Our compositional approach was quite spontaneous with some songs being fully composed and others having improvised parts over predefined backing tracks. Each of the individual parts within a song is a single continuous performance, meaning it was played and recorded from beginning to end without any editing or “punching in”.

This album features various synthesizers, guitar synthesizer and keyboards to create some distinctive electronic textures. Instruments used included: ARP Avatar Guitar Synthesizer, Micromoog, Oberheim Expander Module, Yamaha CS-50, Fender Rhodes, Gibson Organ and Acoustic Piano.

Processing and treatments were created with a Sony Reel to Reel Tape Echo, Furman Spring Reverb, Multron Bi-Phase, Systech Flanger, A/DA Flanger and the Micromoog Synthesizer.

The songs are presented exactly as they were recorded and mixed back in 1978 and were remastered by DT at his home studio in early 2020. We hope you enjoy it.
