about

This is one of the two known recordings of my solo performances from the late 70's / early 80's, recorded at the Rock In Opposition Festival in Reims, France, 1980. The audio quality is far from perfect, and there are a couple of dropouts, but the music itself shines through, mixing rock, punk, jazz, free impro, cabaret, and soundscapes. I played all the instruments (apart from some backing vocals from Cathy Williams, and the multitude of wind players on "HornJam"), using backing tapes to create a group sound.
Noisy, raw, and chaotic, but hey.....it was a Sunday afternoon!
