A Cloakroom Assembly (aka ACA) produces 'sound story' projects and gentle ‘time stands still - machines’. I was never very good at - or - even very interested in explaining what I was doing As a teenager I enjoyed a secret place for making ‘private noise’ which began with collaborations with my sister Angela as a teenager in the early 1970’s, as I tried to re-construct the Beatle’s “Revolution 9” and assemble ‘mock-Stockhausen’ sound stories. I was always impressed by the sense of ‘place/situation’ and ‘narrative/people’ in the Beatles Revolution 9 and the shape of sound as ‘time stood still’ in the work of Eno’s ‘Onland’ and Tangerine Dream’s ‘Zeit’. A Cloakroom Assembly in the late 1970s at the same time as I co-founded M. Squared label. In 1995 I retreated from making public noise and touring overseas, into family and academic life, yet still I was driven to assemble hours and hours of unreleased sound stories. The sound stories began increasingly longer, more as ‘time stands still – machines’. I would frequently break them down and recycle and re assemble and overlay. The titles are unimportant. 

Members:
A Cloakroom Assembly is mostly Michael Tee/Coffey. Keyboards, Guitars, Noises, Loops etc.. ... no sequencers or real time correction

Influences:
Everything I have ever heard I borrow. Even if on a subliminal level. I refuse/reject the idea of an experimental 'genre'. Experimental is a process everyone uses. This Cloakroom stuff is not just an experiment in 'sounds' but also in arrangements of notes.

Sounds Like:
Fripp and Eno, Fripp's Soundscapes (cept for his annoying use of bell/piano sounds) early Tangerine Dream (up to Phaedra, especialy Zeit), the bits in the fade ins/outs of songs, eg the ending of Strawberry Fields Forever, or the drone at the end of Rip Off by T.Rex, or that middle bit in Close to the Edge, Harold Budd (without beats), Electric Miles Davis without the trumpet, tummy rumbles lying in bed at night, that funny ringing sound in your ears, listening to that sound in the distance.
