"At the time I thought we needed a program but having none was the right way. I would have just being a try hard pushing dune pseudo waffle. Most of this music was spontaneous  Therefore it lacked any pretensions about trying to be anything."
..Anton Mullet.

"I really enjoy listening to those early recordings because they bring back the excitement and enthusiasm I used to feel whenever we got together to make music. 
There's some great stuff there: the vague, distant ringing of the telephone combined with the strings and piano allow you to float through a very atmospheric scape. There was something immediately satisfying about the simple methods we'd use to generate and record sounds."
..Ingo Wieben.

"Wow. That's beautiful. And uncanny. I always felt that D27 tapped into something very deep and universal.
It's an extraordinary body of work and so completely ahead of its time. It also has a very timeless quality. Unique and peerless." 
..Ian White.

Yellow Salamand'rs shelter
UNDERGROUND, they feed off the COUNTER-CULTURE, their minds have vast experi-MENTAL capacity, they search through the AVANT GARDEn, they DAMn the MAINSTREAM, and live the SURreal life. They are the “Dunning-Kruger” of their coterie. They are Illusional Engineers, Dystopian Spelunkers, Desolation Cartographers, Misanthropic Therapists, Pragmatic Escapists, Clinical Obscurists, Oxymoronic Magistrates, Elaborate Equivicators, Elevator Operators, Hallucinogenic Fungi Analysts, and Restroom Attendants, to name but a few prestigious occupations. Never underestimate the Yellow Salamand’r.

(Started making experimental music in ‘81 at 18 years old with circuit bent devices. 
Did some underground tape trading. Also made field recordings when working in a steel mill at night. (Lost all cassettes from that era.) Domestic life halted almost all artistic endeavours for many years. Along came 2013, and my world and technology had changed drastically. I started back into music using an iPhone and various technological detritus. I had shifted from lo-fi analog, to lo-fi digital. This is where I am still at nowadays. I can create unique experimental music, and yet still be satisfied with the outcome. I truly enjoy working with minimal equipment allowing me to be challenged by the limitations. (Inability is often the mother of restriction, and restriction is the great mother of inventive performance. - Holger Czukay) Even my visual art has gone from analog (painting, drawing) to digital collage. I don’t use AI and even though I think it will one day have it’s place in the art world, it just doesn’t align with my personal principles. If you enjoy esoteric, obscure, experimental sounds, I hope you enjoy some of the material provided here. If you do like my works, and are curious to discover more, go to the link at the top of this bio. It can take you in many different directions. Cheers)

We have completed our "Time Trilogy"... 1 album and 2 EPs now available on CD! https://zuunzug.bandcamp.com/merch/time-trilogy-3-cd

Songs, artifacts, and debris from an artificial past. Over 30 years of fake resurrection.

Ich bin ein privater Hobby-Musiker im Bereich experimenteller und algorithmischer Musik. Etliche Geräte entwickelte ich auch, um damit Sounds für meine Bedürfnisse zu erzeugen. Auftritte habe ich keine, wollte ich auch nie. Musik ist für mich nur ein Element, das in meiner Freizeit den gewissen Freiraum bringt.
Grundlegend arbeite ich gerne mit echten Synthesizern, Plugins verwende ich daher persönlich fast nie, und Computer auch nur dort wo es nicht anders geht. Viel Spaß beim anhören der Tracks, habe den Account auf Unlimited geändert, damit ich in regen Abständen ohne Begrenzung über die zwei Stunden-Grenze hochladen kann.
