Richard Skelton ~ Shear Planes

A live improv recorded during initial controlled wakeup during major repairs to a super rare 1978 PPG Wave Computer 360A vintage digital synth at Hideaway Studio.

As well as battling with an instrument that wasn't playing quite as it should on the day (it was during major repairs after all) I was suffering from a fever when I recorded this - the result is quite a bizarre recording and somewhat reflective of how I felt at the time.  As the name suggests it slowly pulls itself together as it goes on and I'm actually quite glad I found the strength to record this on the day as I think its resulted in capturing something a little more unusual and broken in the process.

1978 PPG Wave Computer 360A: Picking Up The Pieces

Every time I return to this little 1U wonder from 1986 it does something that leaves me somewhat dumbfounded.. for years I overlooked the DEP-5 until a friend highly recommended it. This now 36 year old little beauty can produce some really lovely atmospheres, textures and moods thanks to its modulated effects and sweet reverb.... and the one thing that really adds to this is the multitude of knobs on the front panel allowing you to dial, tweek and explore to your heart's content - heck I wish more kit in the studio was as interactive as this - it is SO much more rewarding than fighting with endless menus and cursor buttons.

Here is some Infinite and Random Modulated Reverb in action at both normal and half playback speed...  I forget what the source instrument was - it was either the mighty Rhodes Chroma in the studio or the humble Alesis Micron in the workshop and I think that nicely demonstrates the sheer power of effects like these...
