Description
Debut 7" of this legendary experimental synth plus brass art project led by Philip Brophy. Sometimes attributed to the Innocent label, this was self released. The records label are blank with "A 33 1/3" written on the a side. The record is graded visually Vg+/Vg+. There is an autographed message from member Ralph Traviato in the inside label. This is the first press. I will combine postage. I recommend the registered postage option.
" Melbourne suburb of Clifton Hill's Community Music Centre was the base for Philip Brophy's project, ? ? ?. Sometimes compared to Andy Warhol's Factory collective, the group provided experimental music (Brophy on drums or synthesiser), films, videos, and live theatrical performances exploring his aesthetic and cultural interests, often on a minimal budget. Musically the group touched upon a wide range of experimental styles including minimalism, punk rock, muzak, krautrock and disco, usually with no vocalist.
Over the project's operation it involved over sixty of Brophy's friends in variable line-ups that included musician David Chesworth on synthesiser, and visual artists Maria Kozic on synthesiser and Jayne Stevenson on synthesiser. They performed at a range of Australian venues including pubs, galleries, university campuses, Crystal Ballroom (St Kilda) and Clifton Hill Community Music Centre. ? ? ? at times included some members of Essendon Airport, a post-punk band that explored similar experimental music forms.
The band performed or exhibited in Europe, including London's Institute of Contemporary Arts and Paris' Museum of Modern Art. In 1983 Brophy issued a retrospective book, Made by ? ? ?, which is co-credited to ? ? ?. He dissolved the project shortly after the 1986 European tour of Stills, and continued to work with, his then partner, Kozic for some time, prior to her relocation to New York."
