about

‘imagine something yesterday’ is a compendium of playful explorations with monophonic analogue synthesisers and distorted found sounds.

These audio experiments from the 15th floor of a tower block in the Isle of Dogs in London were captured directly on a reel-to-reel tape recorder over a period of a few months at the tail end of 1980 and the beginning of 1981. Further embellishments were made at Chelsea School of Art.

The equipment used included Yamaha CS-10, ARP Axxe, EMS VCS3, TEAC A-3340, Bang & Olufsen Beogram 1202 and Beolab 1700.

There are now fewer than 10 copies of this limited, signed & numbered edition.
