joel graham: geomancy/night

ltd stock. An obscure tape release discovery by Red Light Radio founder Orpheu de Jong, this 12" highlights the work of electronic music pioneer Joel Graham, a San Francisco based artist who self-released two cassettes in 1984/85. Originally recorded and performed live on pre-MIDI analog equipment in 1982 as an outline for a live performance, these tracks provoke much of the same sensibilities found in contemporary dance music as well as works of vanguard artists of the time. Slowly unravelling and deeply hypnotic, Joel Graham's music can be seen as a forerunner of what was to come in electronic music.
