what were you trying to create when you started writing the album, and did it turn out as you first envisioned?
i tried to create an album with a loose narrative that guides the listener’s mind through different environments. i also wanted the lp to sound as organic as possible without any too thin or too electronic sounding synths.
what was the process for writing the album?
i had an atari st running sequencer one plus, an akai s950, gem s2, a boss delay pedal, home made reverb, tape deck, ghetto-blaster, video recorder and a dat machine. i made rough sets of each track, then took everything with me into the studio and finished off the tracks using the extra equipment available. every track was mixed and performed live, none were edited down.
what is your one memory of your time on the em:t label?
i remember the first time i stepped into the live room at square centre studios – it was a vast, open space with a control room overlooking around 15 foot above.
and, what is a woob? wuub?
woob was a made up word. that sounded unique. wuub is a hybrid of woob and dub.
