”Description”: (from cassette cover) 45 minutes of Cross-Collage of Sound, Rythm and Atmosphere. Using the wasp synthesiser, the tapes, the melodica, the piano, the violin, the e. guitar, the stylophone, the autoharp and the percussive. Recording on the 2-track reel-to-reel between mid 1979 and mid 1980. Most overdubbings were recorded without facility to monitor the original track, which usually done months later introduced a random element. The experimental here is open to personal interpretation. Inspect and dissect.
