Inspired by Hornsey art college and unemployed then working in a nuclear reactor (true)I turned to music.
In 1981 I filled my parent’s bedroom with on the blink TVs and old tape recorders and set about making a outsider music classic based on and I wrote it down at time..
Swell maps, Surrealism, The Kinks, The Velvets, Pere Ubu, Syd Barrett, The Fall,The Raincoats,The Real Kids and Love.
the result fell a tad short but has archival appeal:-)
I recently was shown the actual reel to reel tape maching that this was recorded on it needed some TLC .
This is the type of machine it recorded on (not actual one but very similar)
