about

I was cleaning the house and found an odd marked cd "Ambient Mix" with the tracks included here. Except for the group name there was no further info and I have long forgotten why I made it.

This was all recoded live 1992-1994 direct to DAT tapes, except for track three which is a solo studio recording.

Each group while sounding similar had a specific different focus.

Life Garden was an experiment with acoustic, electronic instruments and voice to create an otherworldly spiritual noise.

The Amnesia Quartet was the 'house' band at Peter Ragan's Metropophobobia performance space in downtown Phoenix during the early 1990s to late 1998. Many people came and went. Peter, Joe and myself were the core from the beginning. Our goal was just to see what happens in an improvised framework.

Spacewave Syndrome was another 'Bobia' band band with Peter and myself at the core. Our goal was big drone music. (Note: track seven isn't really Spacewave Syndrome but falls into the same concept of big drones)
