This is one of my earliest archive. Table top electric guitar experimentations directly plugged, recorded and multilayered on a 4 tracks reel-to-reel, from december 1993 to april 1994. No electronic effects, no hi-fi. Handscape / Landscrape was originaly published as a cassette. Three different limited home-made editions were done: -first edition comes in a transparent plastic bag, the booklet is wraped in a latex cover, probably limited to 10 -second edition totaly forgotten (!!!) -third edition comes in a transparent plastic cover containing and original photography and hand-made drawing + booklet, limited to 11. The cassette has been reviewed (in a lovely manner) by Seymour Glass in Bananafish #10: "That magician from NM whose name sounded like Welders Goggles. Flexible porcelain flapping against the spoke of a bicycle tire." - Emmanuel Holterbach Bandcamp
