about
Work with David Mulligan started in late 1988, but the earliest extant C.N.S. release [White Horse] was recorded in Defoe Road in Stoke Newington London1989. Other than the live edits the rest presented here were made in the basement of a squat in the same borough, before Kymatik was formed in 1991. Most recordings were free improvisations with radio, found sound, PZM microphones, treated instruments and effects processors (2 chipped Alesis Quadraverbs and a Bel BD80) Yamaha PSS440. All recordings were straight to cassette (until Gaia Distress Call) with contributions from other local musicians. Some tracks distort in places, sometimes one session would form the background for the next. in 1992 some attempt was made by the Mladek boys to clear up the sound for the release of "Nephesch - A NonServiam Compilation" cassette, but with such a bad foundation they didn't have much success. There was never any real intention of a wider hearing. The audience was kind of the participants maaaan!
A short list of other contributors:
Fabio D'agostino
Paul Holt
Stuart Smith
Alex Robertson
Jason Mladek
Ivor Mladek
Lisa ?
After I relocated in 1994 that style of working returned, with the addition of a Roland RSP 550. The earliest first was 'Morphology' on Paradigm Disc's 'Variations: A London Compilation' Morphology was recorded live with experimental group Morphogenesis at BBC Broadcasting House London.
Most Kymatik releases try to keep that process of manipulated field recording with no preconception about the result but since 1996 all have been made using the Soundfield Microphone and a PC.
