Part of a 4-track jamming session some time around 1984. (Flute, Mallet, Synth Bass.Guitar, 4/4 drums on Cutec MR402 4-track cassette recorder).
I think the synth used was the Casio CZ1000 with drums from the Soundmaster Stix ST-305 drum machine.
Re-mixed by embellishing with extra tracks of simple synthwave textures via Korg and Minimoog D - production in Logic.

Fascinated on a couple of occasions by strong wind "singing" through railings... all captured crudely on my phone and integrated with drone and arpeggios.

From within

ding dong retrospective PLUS transitional rough cuts to dashdotdotdash (-..-).
..... with electronic music (pre-2000)for the analogue age of wow and flutter, tape hiss and stutter.... given ancient-modern remiXes....
..... PLUS, vintage cuts from the -..- band archive (post 2000) that did not get pass the Beta stage and therefore, remain in the ding dong vaults...
