wizards music of other memories wizards was my first deep trance electronic music album. this album was inspired by terry riley, one of the earliest people ever to compose and perform long, extended, cyclic pieces in the electronic format. this music was composed and performed in '81 and '82. i consider this album my best work. the instrumentation is three sequencial circuits pro-1’s, crumar traveler one and a yamaha sk-20, all real time recording to a teac 4-track reel-to-reel. i mixed the four tracks to a teac a-7300 master 2-track tape recorder using a deltalab dl-2 to create the delay track. in 2006, i used a tascam 34b 4-track to remaster all my master tapes to digital master of 196 khz/24 bit .wav files using soundforge 8 software. the original wizards lp was published in the summer of 1982 with the black and white cover. the initial tracks had not names and were call movements i-v. several years later sales had slowed down, in an effort to improve sales we tried the color cover and i created names for each track. here is a picture of me taken in 1982 during the creation of wizards.
