about

This project came about from an experiment by Cloudland Blue Quartet on the music of Edward Spark, when, with a view to CBQ carrying out some remix work, Spark sent CBQ the stems of his two EPs "1.9.7.Four" and "1.9.7.4.Two", released in March and June 2021 respectively and available at edwardspark.bandcamp.com.

CBQ's initial idea was to remove almost everything from the Spark music with the exception of sequenced synthesisers and to, in CBQ's words, "make Edward Spark sound like Tangerine Dream".

Several mixes were completed in July 2021 once remixing work on the masters had been completed (two of these early mixes are included here as bonus tracks for downloaders - #F28500 references the pantone for tangerine).

CBQ returned to the project at the end of October 2022 and added field recordings and elements of his Disquietmusik guitar to proceedings, thus creating a brand new collaboration between the two artists comprising their own signature sounds.
