Re: [microsound] early cd skipping

[Ian Andrews <i.andrews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I produced a track with CD skipping in 1986. I would not regard myself as a
pioneer, nor do I think that the track was particularly innovative in regard
to the context of the time, a context in which experimentation with the
malfunction of analogue and emerging digital equipment was widespread within
the community of experimental electronic music. Many of us were sawing into
records and gluing them back together, using damaged cassette decks, radios,
VCRs, whatever. It was not a radical step to do the same with CDs.

The track was released on cassette (Zeroville) in 1987 on Lymph and later
re-released on CCP.

peace-out
