about

From the book "Flirting With The Past" (included in the album download):

    "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 had 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."
    —from the Preface (page 1).

    "....[A]s the range of the different types of sounds I could make with the analude increased, I became more deeply expressive of my subconscious while using it, although I was only vaguely aware of this at the time; most of my conscious attention went to the details of developing the analude, and physically adjusting its setup; and playing it."
    —from the Comments for "Nameless (ii)" (page 8).

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
