Penfield-88 was a one-off kind of project. 1/2 of Invisible (Dan Kaufman -aka Miso Skitzo and Bart Trotman aka Workday/Schoolnight) improvising on electronics; small yamahas and casios, samplers, a loop pedal, a bass and a guitar. We (Dan and I) played together in this arrangement only three times. Once to record this 5 song cd and two shows. The music at times has a lightness to it -- strange samples floating in and out with minimal guitar over looped electronic beats. Other times things are more industrial, like on track 2—which sounds like some sort of synth saw cutting through a piece of space trash. Tracks 3 and 4 drift atmospherically in small puddles of delay and swells of warm clouds of static.
The name of the project came from the Philip K. Dick book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. The Penfield was a machine that allowed the user to dial in their desired mood. Setting 888 would cause the user to have a desire to watch TV regardless of what was on.
The five songs are simply titled #1 - #5.
