about

Soundscapes/plunderphonics created at Lancaster University for the play No Orchids in (or around )1990. I can't remember anything about the play, it may have been a student production - undergraduate or Masters - or for Red Rose Theatre as I did sound designs for all of them.

It shamelessly plunders from whatever seemed to have the right vibe - this was before the Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds and the idea that anyone may spot the samples didn't really occur to me - much less the idea that anyone would object! So I present as a museum piece - a little slice of history from over 30 years ago showing what I (and most anyone with a sampler) was getting up to.

Sadly I can only remember two of the recordings I used, no doubt others will be identified by anyone listening.
