I began working with various video loop systems in 1978, however, it wasn't until I was working at KGOU radio that I had access to audio equipment and the opportunity to begin working with audio loops.

Loops & Such is a series of experimental audio loops using various techniques produced in the production studio at KGOU sometime in 1980, prior to my first synthesizer recordings.

Long before there were samplers, I act as a human sampler spewing out bits from my memory banks.

And, here for the first time, in my audio work, is introduced the "Art Of Experience" concept through the mantra "You are experiencing an audio experience which is based upon previous audio experiences."

These were my very first two recording in a synthesizer studio. No keyboard playing was employed. These pieces were created wholly from tweaking knobs to manipulate the oscillators and envelopes.

I think there are some very interesting parallels, sound wise, between this work and "Early Electronics" created over 6 years earlier and under very different circumstances.

How this work came to be...

I had been making good progress developing my skills as a video artist, but I was using audio from LPs and felt strongly that I wanted to create my own electronic music to score my video art.

The University of Oklahoma School Of Music had a synthesizer studio, however the electronic music classes were only available to advanced music majors.

Joe Hobbs, the Dean of The School of Art, was an extremely important mentor in my art career at OU. I had come to his attention as an extremely focused, disciplined and self-motivated art student and was one day summoned to his office, where he took me under his wing and arranged for me to have 24-hour access to the art school so I could work at anytime of the day or night.

When I learned of my ineligibility to take an electronic music class I went to Joe Hobbs with my dilemma and he arranged with the Dean of The School of Music to make an exception in my case and I was allowed to enroll in The Fundamentals Of Electronic Music, my final semester at OU.

This was a critical and pivotal point in my art career and I relished in this new environment.

These are my earliest electronic music recordings and are quite historic for me for several reasons.
It illustrates my roots as a multimedia artist and my knack for exploring and discovering things not at all obvious from a fairly early age.

My brother Todd and I had my parent's old console stereo in our bedroom. Additionally, my father was a merchandise manager with Dillard's Brown-Dunkin in Tulsa and went on frequent buying trips to Asia. He brought home some of the very first battery powered portable calculators available to consumers and gave one to everyone in the family.

Somehow, I discovered that mistuning the AM receiver between stations, then moving the calculator around the tuner and pushing the buttons produced electronic tones and varying sounds based on distance to the receiver.

I have no clue what possessed me to even try such a thing, but that's me!!

Under very primitive conditions, using a very lo-fi cassette recorder near the stereo speaker and cheap tape, I recorded about 30 minutes of this electronic music.

It's important to note, this is over six years before I began to study electronic music formally in college and discovered who Karlheinz Stockhausen was. At the time of these recordings, John Lennon's Revolution 9 may have been the most experimental audio I had ever heard.

I think it is also interesting to note. I did this work before Kraftwerk released Radio-Activity or Computer World with Pocket Calculator! I find that a very interesting parallel of the foremost electronic music band!
