Penga: 
Listened to Butch's Z23 on Bandcamp to get an idea of his type of music. 
I downloaded some MRI sounds and time stretched 100% one to get a 2 1/2 minute base track. Cut it in half and rejoined so the ends met in the middle using audacity. Asked Butch to add a cheesy piano loop through it. Next got him to add some found sounds. 
Finished by adding some samples from Just a Minute radio show, Nickolas Parsons at the start and Paul Merton at the end. 
Cover art evolved from a picture I had taken of a frost damaged flowerpot "artistically rearranged", originally I added Butch's picture like a stamp on a card but asked Butch if he could turn it into an Obi. 
Butch added the title and artist names. 
So my gear was a PC and Audacity and Paint 

Butch Canfield (Z23): 
I found the cheesy piano loop in GarageBand. Edited the hypnotism samples I found online in Audacity and mixed the track in GarageBand. I added the text to the art supplied by Pen in Photoshop as well as the Obi strip of my artwork.

Really interesting artwork and sounds—Love the punchline at the end— “It doesn’t exist!” So true!

The Electronic Cottage website is primarily an online magazine for the publication of lengthy and in-depth articles, essays, and interviews.
For those of you who use Facebook I have created an Electronic Cottage Group, which is a casual social gathering place of the EC Community, where EC people can meet, share artwork and news of current projects and releases.
The website and this EC Facebook Group are two separate but connected entities of the greater EC Community.
