ROCKS

Originally produced by Red Clay Records New Mexico re-released under Isolated Poet. In 1987, having your own recording studio was a dream rather than a reality because memory, technology, and recording standards were more of an art than science. My recording studio consisted of two synthesizers: a Peavey Studio Amp my brother got me on my birthday and a stereo cassette player with a built-in microphone. So, this was a one-take operation. Sometime during the development, my parent's fridge was going out and at 2:00 AM I awoke to the sound of the moaning motor which I decided was so unreal that I recorded it and then using a MXR Flanger brought the unearthly sound to life. And, along with the sounds of a hike I took in the mountains of Santa Fe during the fall, it became the salad of special effects that framed the beautiful composition, the “Song For the Earth.” "Half-Rotation" is the remix and master of the original production that was approximately 18 minutes long.
