"The Bakery studio is small home studio that fell out of the 70s right into my house, think it could have been the aliens????? Lot of old equipment (tape echos & reverb springs). I record everything on a tascam 388 8 track tape machine with a desk welded on, a machine built for making dub. A little tape hiss is a fair trade for warm analog sound.
Singers and players from Jamaica Nigeria and England Dubin it in Manchester."

I will keep you posted on the recordings and video footage..... straight to tape, all live with no overdubs.....well, that is the plan!

We're all very excited!

Cool Hendrixy swagger riff you've got there.
How are you getting those space chirp/slide? sounds around the 2 minute mark?

Thanks Shed!!!!

Those sounds are coming from a thing called a photo theremin.
Its just a little box with a bunch of knobs for pitch,rate,LFO and has a switch for tri and square wave.It has a little photo cell that you just wave your hand over to manipulate it.Think Jimmy Page.
Its a pretty cool little noise maker.
