electrophonic

 

Released in 1989, this cassette release was my first professional release, reviewed in Option magazine, Sound Choice, Gajoob, Factsheet Five, and other zines.

From the liner notes: 'no acoustic instruments were used in the production of this recording. All songs were created by recording the parts into a sequencer in real time and playing them back through electronic keyboards and drum machines.'. It took 11 keyboards and 2 drum machines to produce electrophonic. Tracks marked with an asterisk appear on the CD Lost In Time.

  1. *Suburbia (Elephant Jam) 4:15
  2. *Autumn Leaves/Summertime 4:11
  3. *Samba for Steve 4:19
  4. Night Song II (electric) 4:20
  5. *Now I've Found You 4:56
  6. Round Body Midnight and Soul 5:40
  7. Untied 5:00
  8. *Mesa Village Blues 5:11

Here are the three music videos for electrophonic tracks, as seen on Austin's ACTV cable channel (in rotation for more than 10 years!)
