Having very limited access to equipment, much of the early material was recorded using two tape recorders, a series of RCA &quot;Y&quot; adaptors, a headphone amplifier and occasionally a borrowed digital delay pedal, monophonic synthesizer (the size of your forearm) and Realistic reverb unit (courtesy of the Japanese government, no less).The first decent piece of equipment purchased was a Sony Walkman Pro. On this anthology only tracks 1 and 3 of Side 1 employ the more sophisticated technology of a Fostex 4 track recorder and drum machine. Not to apologize in anyway, merely to emphasize the fact that these recordings were made strictly low-fi.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>This was the thrust behind Dust That Collects. You didn&#39;t need Akai S-1000 samplers to make adventurous sonic journeys. In the five years since DTC began I&#39;ve had to explore other reasons for creating what to many is &quot;noise&quot; but the fact remains that whenever I contemplate the possibilities associated with the ever expanding technology in music production, I have fond memories of a &quot;pyramid&quot; of eight &quot;Y&quot; adaptors converging around my home stereo.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Ron McFarlan 1991</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Special thanks to Myke Dyer and the John Doe label on which much of this material was previously released.</div>
