In the summer of 1982 I became a politically engaged artist for the first time. The Royal fleet had just returned from the South Atlantic and my friend had bought a Roland Juno 6 synthesizer. I borrowed the Juno as much as I could - it being the summer holidays my friend and I saw each other most days so it was convenient some of the time to leave it at my house. The track 'Falkland' includes 'found sound' in the form of tv news broadcasts of the war and conceptually it is in the key of F (for Falkland) and feels quite sad and lonely - the three week voyage from Portsmouth to the Falklands - with an upbeat bit at the end provided by my Casio VL Tone. You can hear or download the track here.
