-wdo- 1979 by -wdo- -solo work-
First recorded work initiated in Flagstaff Arizona. One two track Phillips reel to reel. One Onkyo cassette deck. Misc. poorly made home made things, found percussion from the cafeteria I worked in... EMS Synthi was available through an independent study course at NAU. In this case that meant taking it home for the summer and recording stuff. My teacher, who's name escapes me, was very encouraging.
