"Have we become things of the past? We had the birth-right to be there when it all happened.
Technical failures messed up our first recordings. Household electronics. Bloody wires. Xeroxed covers. We recall the cuts in our fingers, and the smell of spilled glue gave that little extra to our first handmade package. That bewildered look in the local postal worker's eyes when we wanted to post a tape to the other end of the world. The mail-art stamps left little room for an official customs-stamp. The postman's confused and worried frown when he delivered the registered answer: a heavy hand-painted cardboard box from an overseas musical friend, with a very discomforting alias.
In 30 years, our media has now travelled full circle. Obscure tape-recordings are now re-released on limited vinyl, to be compiled on a limited retrospective cd, that will allow some of us to release a brand-new extremely limited cassette. Download-code included.

The music has never lost its thrill in the process: minimal analogue electronics, toy instruments, guitars, sound poetry, objects, experiments with field recordings and objects. Our lyrical outlook on the world is that of an outsider: very much in 1984 and even more in 2014."
