Notes

"These three pieces were taken from Michael’s archival material, recorded at three locations (on three different Serge Synthesizers) in 1979. At that time his live recordings were direct to ‘two track’, without overdubs, using the Serge Synthesizer as the primary instrument."
1: recorded while Michael played for a class of movement meditators and dancers at Emilie Conrad’s CONTINUUM studio in Los Angeles.
2: recorded in Michael’s home studio, his living room, using his own Serge system. It was recorded to a Technics R&B 10A02 reel to reel tape recorder.
3: recorded at Craig Huxley’s studio, “The Enterprise”, on Craig’s large Serge system. On this recording, Michael played the Serge while Craig processed the signal through a Publisson DHM 89 digital delay/harmonizer, recording onto an AMPEX ATR 102 reel to reel tape recorder.
