Recorded At Kaleidophon Studios
Lacquer Cut At RCA Studios, London
This is a record of unaccompanied guitar solos. It was made in four days at Kaleidophon Studios, London. All the pieces were improvised, some completely and some to a roughly preconceived idea. No overdubs were used, the music is heard as it was played except for No Birds, which was made in two parts, and Not Forgotten, from which we removed two notes. The only sounds not produced 'naturally' by guitar or prepared guitar area those of the fuzz-box used on track A4, B3 and B4, and echo delay used on track B4. The extraneous noises on Heat c/w Moment are those made by my breath and feet while I was playing. The middle part of No Birds was played on two guitars simultaneously.
