Confluence With The Eternal (Space Fusion)

Random She Reigns

8th November 1994

A twice weekly Triptych rehearsal in the small front room of a rented
terraced house in Ladywell, South London.

Money was needed for petrol, guitar strings, drum sticks, even food
sometimes ... the band could not afford the cost of rehearsal studios,
let alone recording studios. But the latest line-up needed to develop
new musical material and wanted demo recordings that represented
the band's new 'Space Fusion' musical direction.

Jeff was a friend who had one of the new-fangled DAT recorders and
brought it (along with a rackmount compressor and a couple of PZM
'boundary affect' microphones to attach to the walls) over to one of the
regular daytime rehearsals in order to capture some live run-throughs
of the current tunes, some of which were still in a developmentmental
stage.

Amps hummed. Snare and cymbals resonated sympathetically.
Windows rattled and the two PZM microphones attached to the walls
vibrated under the assault of cranked guitar, hammered drum skins
and Fran's thunderous bass tone. The recordings were rough and
ready but would do for the time being.

Money was too tight to afford to buy the master DAT cassette from Jeff
so a copy onto a normal cassette tape was created - it is that tape that
provided the source audio for this remaster. The original DAT stayed
with Jeff so he could re-use it.

Now, 30 years later and with the help of modern computer-based digital
audio production, these recordings have been 'massaged' into a more
listenable form.

Meanwhile, back in 1994, the band continued to rehearse twice a week
in their South London base for several months - after all, nobody had
complained ... yet.

Guitars, guitars, guitars.....and some more guitars! With a few other devices thrown in (notably, a Line 6 DL4 looping pedal).

All the tracks here are emissions from the venerable 'Steam Abacus' - once a wheezing old pentium-powered antique (Windows 98SE!, mainly utilising Cubase VST 3.7, Cool Edit Pro and T-Racks), now resurrected as an only-slightly-antiquated younger specimen (Windows XP, Cubase SX, et al).

Much is initially recorded direct to minidisc before being edited/compiled on the Steam Abacus.

Some older tracks even started life on Compact Cassette. 

State-of-the-art this ain't!
