Recorded in 1983 at the home studio of Jaffor Ullah. Jaffor Ullah was the recording engineer.
The music was played on a Paia synthesizer that Jaffor built himself.
I met Jaffor through a mutual friend Shahab Latif. Jaffor was looking for a musician to work with the synthesizer that he had just built and he wanted to practice being an audio engineer. I was looking for tools to express my musical ideas.
We agreed to work on Sunday afternoons, Starting in the Autumn and extending into the winter we worked on music on Sunday afternoons at Jaffor's apartment when we had time. It usually took the entire afternoon to record a single song. Then suddenly in March the next year, Jaffor left town and I have not seen him since. This CD is a testament to his enthusiasm and technical ability. We had a fantastic time and I love this CD.
The original master tapes were digitized and restored by Brent Backhus at "Real Time Copies." Brent did the conversion work on all my analog music masters and he is a true professional. I am so fortunate to have this music survive.
