Rainbow Generator - Dance of the Spheres (LP)
Limited to 500 units, includes a bifold insert with archival images and detailed liner notes.
Rainbow Generator are Australiaâs first true experimental electronic music group. Consisting of David Labuschagne AKA Mojo, and Rob Greaves AKA Ras. Starting in the mid-70âs, the pair took it upon themselves to begin exploring the possibilities of the sonic dimension and with an âopen mindâ began investigating the interface between psyche and sound.
In 1976 David established the âLectric Looâ studio in Woolloomooloo, Sydney. Known to the âheadsâ as simply the âLooâ, the 3-story building was owned by the Department of Main Roads, and slated for demolition. So, it was that the entire block became a haven for squatters, and while Mojo had the main 3-story building to himself, the rest of the buildings were taken by a hotch-potch of people that included Anarchists, a Clown School and a collection of other random squatters. Recording in the âLectric Looâ provided them the ability to record freely. In 1975 they began to experiment, putting Mojoâs Fender Strat through effects pedals, playing with sounds while manipulating shortwave radio stations and also challenging convention by playing the insides of instruments. By 1976 they had built a kit synthesizer and shortly after purchased a full Roland 100 Synthesiser set-up and were on their way.
In 1978, with little resources, or any form of distribution they released their sole LP âDance of the Spheresâ. As Mojo puts it, âwe were intent on making music with whatever we could beg, borrow, buy, and liberate. Albeit with scant regard for the rules or conventions or niceties of the game. Ultimately, it was all an act of love, of joy. Not just an adventure; it was a musical odysseyâ.
This odyssey continued their exploration of the interface between psyche and sound.Fusing genres and boundaries, Dance of the Spheres incorporates elements of 70âs psych and folk with spoken-word and of course the emerging sounds of the synthesizer and drum machines. Furthermore, the addition of traditional instruments such as the didgeridoo and the classical Indian instrumentation technique of a Raga add a timeless layer, all seamlessly complementing the other elements and launching the album to another dimension.
