Ian C Stewart "Surveillance" MP3
Eventually in 1992 I acquired enough bulk cassettes and had logged up enough hours with my 4-track to attempt something slightly larger in scope than I had ever attempted. Late summer I had the idea for a double cassette 'box set', two hours of new music. The first hour, 'insomnia,' would be two extended, improvised, dark ambient pieces.... 'surveillance' and 'abduction'. Layers of gritty Casio SK-5 samples mingled with heavily processed keyboard drones.
This is an excerpt from 'insomnia'.

Yowza,

was there a LWe 001 or LWe 003?
And what was the significance of the 'sub-numbers' for the releases? For example, the euphoria j-card pictured was LWe 004.2 and the insomnia j-card shows LWe 005.1
I had an outstanding offer at the time asking for um photographs of anything/nothing, like unusable photos, blurry, out of focus, arty, whatever. I might've been plotting a follow-up to 'the january project', my first zine which was 'bad photography & teen angst poetry'.
'the january project' was LWe001, it came out in January 1992 in a limited edition of 20 copies! Most went to the contributors. I don't think I even kept one for myself.
LWe003 was 'obscene collection', my first xtc tribute tape.
The sub numbers were I think to differentiate between the two editions of 'euphoria suicide'.
I should make a Lonely Whip emissions discography, shouldn't I.
Tomorrow.
