In the past the british band Queen stamped on the cover of their album:
"No synthesizers were used on this record." I was intrigued about that. What was the purpose of that manifesto? And what the hell was a synthesizer?
I love guitars, of course. But, as a noise tool, the Mini Moog belongs to a league of its own.
One note is all there is to blow your mind.
My dad used to have a Yamaha electric organ at home. It had a rhythm machine on it and very good loudspeakers (so it seemed).
It was loud.
Then I had the bass, some electric guitars, the (Giannini) Craviola 12-string and some fuzz and modulation boxes laying all around.
That's how it all started for me in the early 80's: trying to accommodate layers of glorious noises into super fast bossanova or mambo boxy beats. If possible, in time.
Those sounds were put into tape by means of a black Gradiente tape deck right after I came from school. Listening back to these freaky recordings late at night every day probably forged me into a daydream believer of some sort.
Of course there were many like me everywhere. And here is where we're at now.
