A Brief History of Bundle Records:The Eighties:I have been dabbling in electronic music since I bought my first synth, a
Yamaha CS5, in 1981, inspired as I was by the likes of
Numan,
OMD,
Depeche Mode, etc.
In 1984 I got together with a like-minded friend on a number of occasions with our synths, keyboards, drum machines and a tape recorder and recorded a few tracks. He even came up with a name for our synthpop duo -
Complex Fusion. Unfortunately I lost touch with him around 1989, but I kept the tapes and have
released them for posterity. Jonathan, are you out there?
In between times I continued to dabble on my own and record.
The Nineties:During the '90s I got a PC and did a lot of MIDI composition. My claim to fame is the disco version of Pachelbel's Canon in D which I sequenced around '94, followed by a Eurobeat version of Handel's The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba.
I have also sequenced several
OMD tracks (Almost, Silent Running, The Romance of the Telescope and Of All the Things We've Made). Original pieces include Dunce (my attempt at a dance track), and Every Day (a depressing piece about someone on the verge of committing suicide - incidentally written around the time Kurt Cobain blew his head off - listen for the gunshot at the end).

Now:Still dabbling (on an Apple Mac) with varying degrees of success, using
Reason,
Garageband and
Logic Express.
