Monkey in Space
monkey in space is a rather ad hoc project. it is a long term experimental venture of lars gabel and sometimes myself. the music, like frank’s party, has an electronic base to it. many of the loops and effects were recorded during intense jam sessions, and then chopped down mercilessly into funky monkey beats. having originally met on enrolment day for the same art course in liverpool, lars and i have applied the same dada sensibilities and notions to our music making. we have used many incidental sounds, including a scanner (these used to be clunky noisy devices that could shake themselves off a desk), that decided to warm up its lamps and purr during a separate recording. this purring mechanical noise became a whole break section for one of our songs. the monkey project continues today. it began pre internet over the geographical distance of liverpool and london. these days, lars is in new zealand, but good music software and the internet keep things together much better than royail mail and a compact cassette in a jiffy bag.
