| ...every so often there’s a creel pone that breaks out of the underlying cold/academic vibe and reminds us that it wasn’t all brimstone & hellfire back in the “era” (although i specifically see a “1983” cut-off date on the foil-seal and a “1984” production date on the print-work... hmm...) - case in point; this reproduction of a bizarre private-press lp, as assembled/produced by “the electronic music club of edmonds community college” in 1984 (?)...
this falls pretty damn far from the creel pone tree, stylistically... but then again this really isn’t all that different from the “conrad & sohn” record; short song-length vignettes made on several modular-synth rigs, with the occasional vocoded vocal about some space-conceit or whatever... a few “out-there” collage-concrète beasts, but for the most part: songs.
it’s funny to think of a record that came out of a community college as “academic”... it’s about as academic as the "original compositions by junior and senior high school students" pieces on the creelpolation (if not less-so !!!) - but even still, after a few listens this record certainly won me over with it’s uniquely singular vision. a few pieces on here (specifically the richard perkins radio-static-flip) rival the dub taylor creel pone for sheer head-scratch... and it’s certainly revealing to listen to a few early 80s hobbyists fumble their way around an electronic music studio...
definitely not one for everyone, but for those infatuated with “outsider” concepts in music as applied to the new-wave era... well, you’ll find gold within... |

the electronic music club of edmonds community college
presents
the first album
the electronic music club
the electronic music club of edmonds community college became a chartered club on our campus in april of 1984. with 30 initial members, the focus of the club was centered around the production of this album. the philosophy of this organization is to encourage and perpetuate the creation and performance of electronic music. we hope you enjoy this album.
the electronic music program at edmonds community college is rapidly becoming one of the most comprehensive programs of its kind in the united states. eight courses in both subtractive and additive synthesis as well as private study are offered to help students develop and improve their skills on analogue and digital instruments as well as multitrack tape and computer disk recording.
side i
1. the primordal past (douglas jorgeson) 2'53"
the rediscovery of our center of being is facilitated through our refound source of music.
2. a. c. overload (james v. gallant) 3'27"
this tune virtually composed itself; i just sat around and baby-sat the .equipment while it happened: an "accidental composition. "
3. video i (richard perkins) 2'41"
this piece is an experiment in old style (pre-synthesizer) electronic music and is performed almost entirely using a television.
4, n. r. e. (mark hale) 1'51"
with the growing technicality of music, this tune is a reminder of the rhythmic beginning.
5. mixed emotions (douglas jorgeson) 3'20"
pleasant as well as negative thoughts pass through the dreamer during free time.
6. intrinsique (nathan mccoy) 4'18"
a tribute to the friends of gravity wherever they are. remember, it's not just a good idea, it's the law.
side ii
1. elevator of love (victoria hendricks) 4'20"
the primary intention of this work is to solidify ectoplasmic emotions into concrete musical alternatives.
2. alien attack part i (scott knol) 3'10"
this piece was prerecorded due to advanced thoughts.
3, on the beach (mark vercoe) 2'09"
sometimes it's nice to have a break from the usual stuff and just listen and relax.
4. making cookies (douglas jorgeson) 4'06"
what i hear while i am rushing about making those suckers.
5. trigger happy (james v. gallant) 4'43"
suffering from the "phil spector syndrome" (too much is never enough), my technical, rather than my musical knowledge is responsible for this piece.
6. the end (edited by james v. gallant) 0'57"
...
