043R Remembering Anticipating Obduction

A successful remastering of a set of tracks that I’d assembled when we were just about to see the release of Obduction.  I did get a few things right, but more important, it was a great show.

Jan tells me it should be La Journée.  All I can say is that the Hellecasters are not French…

Malcolm Cecil

“Who’s Malcolm Cecil?” was the question we all heard when we announced we were going to do a show on him this Sunday. Well, he is one of the co-creators of the early multitimbral synthesizer named TONTO, a session player and a successful and influential producer, and he, unfortunately, recently played his last chord. Since there is rather a lot of music he had been involved in, we decided to not wait until the new year to honour him and rather present his work as a stand-alone show.
