text: Early experimental compositions using prepared guitar, electronics, homemade instruments, tape manipulation... some of the freakiest, most staunchly don't-care-who-likes-this music I've ever made.
  "Now I Do This" was my first solo record, released on vinyl in 1982. About half of this material was created at The MacColl Studio for Electronic Music at Brown University, where Gerald "Shep" Shapiro was my instructor and mentor. After graduation, I bought a 1/2" four track Scully tape deck, and produced the rest of these pieces at home or at The Creative Music Studio with this amazing machine. All I have left of the Scully today is the splicing block.
  Now, for the first time since 1982, you hear this.

  Thanks to Chuck Vrtacek who led the way with his first solo record when we were roommates in 1981/82. I followed in his footsteps with Now I Do This.
  Special thanks to Ben Shapiro for lending me his Otari 1/4" tape deck, for his guidance throughout the tape baking and restoration process, and for declicking and depopping the few tracks that didn't survive the aging tape, and were instead transferred from virgin vinyl.
