Spaced

The picture above shows the sticker that inspired our name. As William Burroughs said “were all here to go into space”.
Spooky & Oodles
February 4th, 2009
The background sound in Spooky was created by running a single drum sound through one of Micheal Norris’ rather wonderful and free Sound Spectral Plugins. The flute sound comes from a strange bendy flute that Paul bought in Berlin. The picture was taken through my kitchen window just might have captured a ghost.
Oodles is another guitar loop based track.
James’s Party
December 31st, 2008
Another party gig. This one was held ‘Source’ in Cambridge. Paul couldn’t make it so I decided to try a solo techno set. This was basically the ‘dance set’ we have been working on over the last year minus the live guitar.
Download the mp3 and compare it with the version we performed at Jane’s Party.
Jane’s Party
November 6th, 2008
A party in St Pauls, a church with great acoustics. We created a new dance set especially for the occasion.
New Demo
March 18th, 2008
No its not the monolith from 2001, its the new Delta Family Demo!
The artwork on the front cover is a modified picture of the surface of a Henry Moore sculpture. Inside the cover we’ve included a picture taken inside the lighthouse on Dungeness beach. The lighthouse created a safe channel by sending out two beams of light, one red and one green. Sailors could navigate down the channel by keeping both lights in sight.
The tracks we’ve chosen for this demo are:
If you’d like a copy of the CD please get in touch.
A song for Ouch
March 6th, 2008
This is a commissioned track. Ouch is a goldfish that lives in a Zen-inspired bowl near Basel, Switzerland. Ouch’s owner is an artist, specialising in abstract works.
‘A song for Ouch’ consists solely of layers of treated electric bass. We feel it has something of an African lilt.
We are open to consider other commissions. If you would like to email us we will consider the quirkiest requests and post the results here.

A dark brooding piece which started as a minimal techno track and morphed into a gritty urban ambient soundscape.
The 1 Hour Test
August 24th, 2007
One option for playing live is to simply play one long improvisation so we wanted to see what would happen if we tried improvising for one hour solid. The resulting recording is presented with virtually no editing:
Yes its a big download!
In conclusion we felt that it is a lot to ask an audiance to concentate on one long piece (and its a pretty intense experience for us) so we will probably split a gig up into more manageable chunks!

Too tired to sit around and chat we just started to play and had this recorded, mixed down and on the web site in under two hours!
Bicycle Powered Madness
July 5th, 2007
The first public performance organised by The Magnificent Revolutionary Cycling Cinema. We put on a 20 minute performance. Live loops made by thrashing a bike with some drum sticks, followed by some live guitar and a it of audience participation. We mixed down the loops in the studio into this.
Update : George from the Cycle Cinema made some recordings of the gig including a live recording of our performance. Compare and contrast with our studio mix.
