I have been making my own homemade experimental music since 1981.

I was an active participant in the 1980s Cassette Culture scene, and I operated the Cause And Effect Cassette Distribution Service and label, and recorded solo as Dog As Master, and in a duo as Viscera.

From 1989 to 1991 I published six issues of the original Electronic Cottage print magazine.

In the last 36 years I have recorded, produced and released more than 300 solo audio works, collaborations and compilations.

.. well .. all I can say .. I really love these microcassette assemblages - they are the salt to my radioshows!

LL, it is just as salty in its downloadable form. It put extra salt in it to make sure it is well-preserved while being downloaded!
