CONTEMPORARY ELECTRONIC MUSIC

Artist Made recordings by Fred Wilder

Artist made sound recordings from our online secure store.

My name is Fred Wilder and I have been making homemade recordings of my own electronic music experiments, fluxus noise, anti-music, Musique Concrete, sound experiments available on cassette tape since 1981.
I started playing around with portable tape recorders when I was a kid so I have always had a fascination with recorded sounds and their manipulation but in 1981 I gained access for the first time to a little tape studio I put together in the back of a stereo repair shop I was working at in Buena Park California. This had open reel tape machines and some simple filters and tone generators crude as it was this became my audio laboratory for 3 years. I made a lot of tape music in between repairing radios, amplifiers, tape decks, and phonographs and gained a good understanding of electronic sound production from those early days.

In the 1980s I recorded several tapes of experimental electronic music avant-garde tape music and worked with Neal McCormick on his Zantor / S.N.A.F.U. tapes that were fed out over the phone lines as a dial up service, strange days indeed.

In 1994 I built the Tiki Room project studio in my home for my solo recording projects. and in 1998 began offering CDs online through my website and my ebay auctions.

SCHEIDE und KRAUT is a new anti-music outsider poetry recording by Dirty Fritz and The SEX SOCKS using obsolete technologies like cassette recorder from the 1970, child's toy, Prophet 5, analog synthesizer Persimmon, short wave radio, public domain films, and sampled sounds from the environment all mixed on 4 track tape. This is a handmade recording from a self-representing artist new for 2008.

All of the CDs are recorded, mixed and mastered in in my Home project studio with 16-bit CD quality. In most cases the sampled sounds were done on old nasty portable cassette tape recorders and may have been processed through 8-Bit equipment for extra hash, clicks, pops, and whistles. There is a strong possibility that circuit-bent machines were employed and Tape work was performed adding time stretching, spacial distortions, mechanical glitches, and the like. The noise you hear was added for its aural spice.
I have enjoyed listening to these CDs myself on my home system and know they will not tear up your speakers but please do be careful with headphones or earbuds while enjoying these recordings.
