about

The tracks on Peep-O-Rama: home recordings and demos volume 1 : 1990 - 1994 are rough and ready demos. I recorded them at home, on a Tascam 4-track cassette Portastudio.

All I had in terms of recording gear was a Shure SM58 , a Yamaha drum machine and a Boss delay pedal, which I used on every vocal track for a fake “Sun Studios” echo.

When inspiration struck I worked instinctively and feverishly, filling up one cassette after another with songs, song ideas and sketches.

I never intended for these tracks to be released officially. For this release I made every effort to clean up the audio, but don’t expect hi-fidelity. The magic is in the tape hiss.
Some tracks were edited because they were excessively long and/or repetitive, but most of the bum notes I played or sang are preserved in all their ragged glory. Enjoy!
