The 80s found me new groups and composing projects. RED was a trio project with JW and SF which later spawned a semi-related group, Fred Laugh. We might not have been able to describe our sound, but it was period.

Our RED project recorded a single demo cassette for landing gigs and so-called record label showcases (which were to be auditions for label A&R; mostly farcical efforts). The RED demo included 5 tracks; 4 were songs and the 5th track was this groovy, ambient vibe track I prepared. Set up in my tiny basement bedroom studio with a 4Track Reel-to-Reel recorder, a Sequential Pro-One synth, and Roland TR-606 drumbox (which pulse-triggered my ProOne's sequencer steps), Williams and I vibed; John executing lovely, ambient arpeggiated guitar phrases, and me, questing sonic clouds, semi-bass, and angular tension & release on Chapman Stick. One take, no overdubs (as in: not worth the effort on 4track). 
A trippy mix, and done. 

I did this mix with a shitty Teac line mixer patched with some lofi (the only kind of the day) effects - a couple overdrive pedals, (what sounds like) a flanger, a Bucket Brigade delay, and a Premier spring verb tank. 'RUFUS'

'Rufus'  (from RED, circa 1983)

from 1/4-inch tape archive... circa 1978
one of my student pieces for synthesizer, gong and tape. Moog System 55 recorded at Montclair State University; gongs, tape manipulation, and mix done in home studio. I don't remember the assignment, nor resulting grade, but it's old and kinda cool.

Hirk sent me 8bars which included a sample of mine, but was much more. This blossomed from that. 
Thankyou for inspiring, Hirk.
