TUESDAY 20th FEBRUARY 1990

Recording: '11th floor jam'
Recording:
Stef's bedroom - afternoon - Present: Dude, Stef. P: Dude.

I'd just met Stef at the time, and this is our first recording together. Everything here is improvised. This may sound out-there but to me it has a special flavour because I'd never used samplers and drum machines before, and because it was all experimentation. Note how the acoustic instruments fits perfectly in the stereo field: the electric stuffs went through Stef’s hi-fi and were sent to two speakers, each in front of one mike of the cassette-recorder. The acoustics were played live BEHIND the speakers, so you get the impression of depth and the nice surround effect you can hear.
