“Alston St.” Oil on canvas board, Frank E T 5’5’84   

Magnetic Paint

Here are some works from back in the eighties.  Most of these recordings were made on The TEAC 3340s and various cassette decks. These songs were cassette release only. During this time a digital audio work station was science fiction but digital delay lines were just becoming affordable.  All splices were done by hand and all mixing was done live and live at the bounce.  Arp and Mooge analogue synthesizers were used in the sound pallet. 

Clumbsy-Guitar

Water-Time-and-Space

Careful overdubbed sound scape in sacred space. Anne Marie Greco, Dwayne Larson, and Frank E T.  Found sounds used as noise floor.

xtc-regression 

I’m not sure if the people who walked into the playroom were the folks that were actually playing, again in sacred space.

Dwayne’s flute work sounds are anything but arduous on this heavy carefully layered sound scape.
