Eat the Clock Eat the Clock

This song is about the intrigue and mystery of racing to work and getting there on time, along with other ditties. This song, along with "Hey," uniquely include Arnie playing trombone.

Hey Hey

Song could be about paying attention (I think).

Eastern Part 1 Eastern Part 1

A trip to the Far East, well, our skewed take musically of some off-beat mystical corner of it.

More of the very same trip as Part 1, just further along.

This music was all completely improvised on synthesizers and samplers back in 1983 and 1984, by Arnie Stanton and Tim Fluarty. We thought of it as the dark and foreboding side of "New Age" music. You may be rather surprised about the wide pallete of colors and styles the songs produced. For more music by Arnie Stanton, consider visiting his music page.
Band/artist history
Tim and I met while working together in the Sound Recording Dept. at Marineland, which used to be near Los Angeles. We had great differences of opinion, especially on "spiritual" stuff, which unfortunately led to breaking up the group. Sometimes, I wonder if things might be different now...
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Nope, though we thought it would be cool to try and duplicate our completely improv style onstage in the more avant-gard clubs around Los Angeles.
Your musical influences
Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Talking Heads, Steve Roach
What equipment do you use?
What we USED? It is all outdated, but a lot of homemade analog synths, tape loops, 8-bit Apple 2-based samplers from England, my Prophet 600, and for some surprising effects, my Casio CZ-101. Lots of flangers and echo boxes also. Tim also had this strange analog synth from England which had no keyboard, but would make the most haunting sounds that seemed to play a long time without repeating (listen to "Trouble on the Double" for a good dose of this synth!)
