about

For over two hundred years equal temperament has had a near monopoly on the scales of pianos, organs, synth keyboards, guitars, saxophones, clarinets and other fixed note instruments, but in the late 1970s I'd been reading Harry Partch’s Genesis of a Music (Da Capo, 1974) in which he makes a convincing argument that the just scale will be musically superior. I decided I needed a way that I could hear in real-time what Partch was writing about, so in about 1980 I devised a custom slide instrument in order to compare the just and equal-tempered musical scales, and the ‘analude’ is the name I eventually gave to this instrument.
Over the next few years I explored the analude’s musical capabilities and made recordings, and most of these are being published for the first time, in 2012, as the Electric Analude Instrumentals Volumes 1 and 2.

Get Outside

An exceptional album, with cuts ranging from very good to superb. JP's lyrics and delivery are unique and interesting, and the other musicians all excellent. A mature album by a true live performer. Steven Rowat

These days EP
by Tod Doyle and the Troubled

Global changes are displacing bodies and minds (think: Orlov's "Reinventing Collapse".) T.D. expresses both levels well, and he does so through music that is honest, enjoyable, and memorable. Steven Rowat
