The basic tracks were recorded in my living room on a decrepit Akai 4000DS Mk-II sometime in 1982. Percussion, string synthesizer and lyrical incantation overdubs were improvised in the studio on 27 February 1984. I dedicate this to Adrienne Canter who originated the expression, “primal groaning gonads.”

It is recommended that you listen to this in solitude (preferably in subdued light).

lyrics

From pent up aching rivers;
From that of myself without which I were nothing;
From what I am determined to make illustrious
even if I stand sole among men;
From my own voice resonant, singing the phallus;
Singing the song of procreation,
Singing the need of superb children and therein
superb grown people,
Singing the muscular urge and the blending,
Singing the bedfellow’s song (O! resistless yearning!)

The man’s body is sacred and the woman’s body is sacred…

(All is a procession,
The universe is a procession with measured and perfect motion.)

~ Walt Whitman, Children of Adam

Guano Breath Malaysia

My output mostly dates back to the 1980s and has been heard by a mere handful. This isn't what I'm into now but at least I'm not too embarrassed about it.

Collaborations with others & freestyle choreographic works form an integral part of my archive.

I enjoy being the world's least ambitious musician.
