From Gavin Coppenhall

This live concert was recorded in the late 1990’s after the discovery an an old ARP 2500 synthesizer which had been relegated to the dungeons of the South African College of Music in Cape Town.

I found it in an old store room covered in a blanket the reason it had been basically discarded was that apparently no one could get it to work.

After resucitating the ARP and moving up to what was then my music studio , room number B13 , I sat day after day twiddling this and that knob until one day—hallelulia—a sustained high pitched tone rang out and the rest is history.

The electronic music concert was performed by myself and a good friend of mine who at the time was studying to be a composer , Peri Likiardoppolos.

I had recently purchased the iconic Roland D50, a digital synthesizer almost as renowned as the old ARP, with my scholarship funds which was to allocated to support research for my masters degree in a totally different field, Ethnomusicology.

Peri then acquired another Roland synth and I had another old analogue ETI synth so we had 4 synths in total. These we then combined with some prerecorded sound effects which consisted mainly of the natural sounds of the African wilderness.

The concert was the only one we performed.
