about

Welcome to the Works series of my electronic world !
None of this music has been professionally recorded but it represents what I was doing in these places and times in my life.
Melbourne 1982-1985

I moved from Hobart to Melbourne (sorta like moving from Haiti to Miami !) Welcome to the big smoke !
I had auditioned for a band I had seen on "Countdown" rock program and had got a gig with a band With A Record Contract !!
Unfortunately, that band was on the downward slide, but in the next three years, I would climb the ladder that would lead to fame and fortune..well, a bit of fame, but no fortune..but thats a story for another time !

The Gear
This period saw big changes. Firstly I sold the DR55 for a Tr 606 and eventually the Yamaha Rx11.
Sold the Rhodes and the Rs09 and got one of the first DX7's ..this changed my world completely !
I also got a Commodore 64 running a SCI Model 64 software sequencer..the first time I had used sequencing..before that everything was hand played.
As the JP8 was in the band truck a lot, I ended up with SCI T8 synth which with the DX's, became my mainstay.
By early1985 the other big revolution occurred..the Mirage Sampler.
This opened a whole new world of sound and songwriting for me and gave me access to instruments that I only dreamed about.

The Houses
The Ghost House Kensington Late 1982
The Share house East Brunswwick 1983
The Live In Girlfriend house Windsor 1984/85
The First purchased house Footscray Mid 1985

The Music
Mainly still all instrumental, but with the sequencing and the greatly expanded sound palette, I was able to
create with broader brush strokes and flesh out the little musical ditties i wrote.
Everything was still improvised, but the results were way better to me.
Enjoy !

This is the first of three albums representing the Melbourne years.

Welcome to the Works series of my Electronic World !
None of this music has been professionally recorded but it represents what I was doing in these places and times in my life.
It charts the rise and fall of the digital synth and how the new sounds influenced the music that was made. A technological synth history lesson.
Enjoy the ride !
