Foreign Mail 02

Various - Foreign Mail 02 (PREVIEWS)

Accessory Records are ready for another strike. Last time they charged their banger cannon with the stuff from Miles Mercer – this time, as usual after him, it will be Simic. Also, as usual, we’re having three super nice tracks. And we’re taking the best for ourselves. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/premiere-b1-simic-drainpipe-ar006/]

Buy AR006

Premiere: B1 - Simic - Drainpipe [AR006]

The "percussion section" is me coughing, made into a tape-loop and played backwards at the wrong speed.

The Farfisa organ was modulated against a home-made square-wave oscillator to produce a throbbing drone.

The foreground instruments are an egg-slicer, played via an old tape deck with a wobbly idler wheel, and me blowing raspberries down a plastic tube.  Oh, we knew how to have fun in them days! :)

Playlist 1:
HOW D'YE STOP THIS THING?
We were an electronic family.  As children of a Radio Ham, my brother and I grew up surrounded by magic boxes full of glowing valves and high voltages, our ears thrilling to the ethereal sci-fi soundscape of the short wave bands. Hardly surprising, then, that we should both develop a fascination with audio, electronic music and recording technology.

One of those magic boxes was a half track mono Vortexion WVB tape deck. In the mid 1970s I used this machine to record a number of bizarre pseudo-musical cacophonies involving tape-loops, home-made oscillators and found objects. For these purposes, the Vortexion's most useful feature was a switch which turned off the erase head.  This enabled me to overlay new sounds directly onto an existing track.  The only problem was that, being mono, there was no other track to bounce to, thus no way I could overdub in sync with myself:  I had to rely on the delayed output from the playback head. This is why most early tracks involve vague drones and random sounds.  And, of course, as I would be recording over the original track every time, each new take was an irrevocable step; a one-off; no going back !

A SOUND SPANKING
In 1981 I bought a ReVox G36 (all-valve predecessor to the A77) which could do track-to-track overdubs, and from 1981-84 I used this machine to record numerous songwriting demos.

Then, as it is all too fond of doing, life got in the way and the songwriting got shelved. The tapes lay in their boxes undisturbed until 2001, when I got my first computer and discovered the capabilities of digital editing.  I overhauled the G36, dug out the tapes (some of them by now rather fragile) and set about digitising their contents. The results were then re-worked as multi-track edits, adding new vocals and, in certain cases, a number of MIDI-synthesized instruments - all the ones I could never have afforded to own 20 years earlier. ;-)  These recordings are the basis of this set.
