This is the Charles Gocher solo project with the help of Elaine DiFalco, Terry Nelson, Mike Bisio, Eyvind Kang, Michael and Cynda. This is more radio drama than music. You really have to know your history to appreciate the melding of historical event that this disc presents. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, well an audio sample is also worth a thousand words. This project was recorded over the course of a year. It includes straight to DAT "live in the studio" recordings, 80-8 multitrack recordings, cassette four track recordings, straight to computer recordings, field recordings and other sound sources. The skitzo mic technique from Dante's was used for the main dialog. The final form was on the TripleDAT system which allowed us to add more tracks to the 8 track stuff and additional sound effects to the whole production. It was a labor of love. I don't think most people understood this release because they were expecting music only and got drama. You decide for yourself.
