this is a set of pieces recorded live in my bedroom studio, in one take, straight to mini-disc; no overdubbing or software processing. there were no scores or guidelines, only a pile of noisemakers and an array of exhaulted guitar pedals, plus a nice fm-styled synth hardly larger than a game boy. email me at c r a q u e @ c r a q u e . n e t if you dig it, or even if you don't.

inputs: cardioid and homemade contact microphones, short-wave radio, yamaha qy10 pocket-synth
