In 2004 I (Chris Andrews) compiled a 4-song EP of original recordings and got them pressed in the very limited capacity of 20 copies through Peter King, down in Mt. Somers (in a single day!, June 24th 2004), each with a unique cover and hand-numbered. The music contained within varies between low-key melodic trembling's on the a side, to caustic, but carefully controlled feedback-entrenched drones and shards of sound (extracted with the help of Cubase's many distortion tools - from a bass guitar) on the b of an 8" lathe-cut.
One of Bruce Russell's (Dead C) and Alastair Galbraith's darkest outfits, often dealing with distinct imagery and motif's in their music and especially pronounced in their liner notes (most of which are distributed through Russell's Corpus Hermeticum label).
Formed by the duo in Dunedin in 1984, and primarily a free noise group. Though primarily a duo, Peter Stapleton had been a regular contributor from 1993 until his passing in March 2020.
Ira Robbins (Trouser Press): "A jazzy-cum-classical nine-person ensemble with clarinets, cello, tuba and bassoon (in addition to guitar, bass and drums), New Zealand's determinedly oddball Avant Garage sounds like something Zappa might have done in his Dada orchestral phase."
