incidental “cartoon” music for Mabou Mines production of “Starcock”

III. This is 1986 and was recorded with real musicians on real instruments except a YAMAHA DX7.  Anyone remember that early synth?  The very first successful digital synthesizer supposedly and so was brighter and more brittle sounding.  Had some cool, very 80s sounds.  The recording equipment was a bid crude and we had to record in large, bouncy room.  Here’s some trax but the quality is not there.  We were still using tape!

The very wonderful EVE MARTINEZ provided the voice of Starcock in the songs.
