This one is named after my local television relay transmitter, which has been throwing UHF signals into the area since 1963. A permanent presence in my life, and I often drive up the mountain it stands on for a closer look. Sadly, you can't really get as near to it now as you could when I was a kid. Keen eared listeners might just notice some of the 1992 Classic FM test transmissions buried in the mix... The rhythm track is way too loud. Yes, I know. I can't do anything about that now.]]>

The one uniting factor between all the 350+ pieces broadcast was that they had never been heard by the public before, and if the public wanted to hear them then they had to bring an FM radio to this remote and quiet area of the UK, and listen. Over 250 people did just that. After the broadcast ended, the files were deleted at our end. Much of the material will therefore most likely never be heard again...

The recording here was made onto a C60 using an early 1980s Sharp radio/cassette, which had been languishing in a garage for 15 years, and was powered by the cheapest batteries I could find. The fidelity is therefore mixed, and by the end of the recording it's virtually non-existent. These are only moments of a tiny fraction of the amount of material we broadcast, and the record/stop buttons were pressed at random when I happened to be near the machine. But as a record of the event, that all seems quite fitting. We have plans to do it again in 2014 and 2015. Details will be posted at http://thedarkoutside.tumblr.com/ as and when they emerge. Thanks to everyone who took part this year.]]>

As the main ethos behind the performances was that they were to be done totally live, with no sequencing or backing tracks, all parts on this were recorded totally 'manually'. Given my ultra-rudimentary keyboard prodding skills, this was no mean feat. Anyway, I think it came out quite well. Those bored already will probably have stopped reading ages ago. Instruments used: Korg Monotribe, Korg Monotron Delay, Korg M500SP Micropreset, Moog Micromoog, Roland SH-2, Roland RS09 (filtered through SH-2), Commodore 64 running 'Software Automatic Mouth' speech synthesizer software. No external sequencer or computer based instrument control was employed, just the clock signal from the Monotribe into the SH-2 for the bassline trigger. Phew.]]>

On a whim, I bought one of those Korg Monotribe things the other day, and in common with a lot of people, the first sequence of notes I put into it - that is, apart from a load of random guff - were those from 'On The Run' by Pink Floyd. OTR was originally done with an EMS Synthi AKS (although it says 'VCS3' on the LP sleeve, which isn't quite correct). An AKS is probably my dream electronic device, but currently they change hands for £5000 plus. The Monotribe was £150. Do you see where this is going?

So, taking the concept a little further, I decided to see how much of the original track I could attempt to replicate using it, over the course of an hour. It's in no way 'finished', and I doubt I'll do any more to it, it's just an experiment... * All the sounds (except the airport, the bloke running in that tunnel leading to the London museums and the guitar screaming noise) are from the Monotribe, with a little reverb and panning. Yes, I could be using my time in a much more constructive way. Sorry.

* - well, I fibbed. 06/12/12 - I've added the Roger The Hat speech into it, as it sounded a bit empty without it.]]>

Dancing Girls was the opening track on his first album, and I believe the first completed track from the sessions. It's very unlike the rest of the material, out and out electronic dance music, with analogue synths and Roland drum machines to the fore. Problem is, it's quite short in original form, and the 12" remixes were pretty dreadful, which was kinda par for the course with extended workouts of the period.

So, back in 2009 I took the 3 minute LP version, chopped it up into little bits and reconstructed it in the way I felt it should have been done in the first place. I know that a couple of well known and respected DJs 'dropped it' into sets at the time, so it can't be too bad. Maybe I put too much of the vocal in for 'the dancefloor', but it's too late now, and I like the vocals. Anyway, here it is, should you care...]]>
