mark's comments on Dead Voices on Air Frankie Pett Presents the Happy Submarines Playing the Music of Dead Voices On Air This cd was originally intended for use with Gvoon, or most of it was. However, we couldn't agree on how it would be released and Arthur didn't like the guitars. I re-worked some of it with Darryl in Vancouver, then moved to Holland and worked on the rest either by myself or with Frankie Pett. I was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with electronic music and annoyed by musicians who took themselves seriously. So the whole project is, as far as I am concerned, laced with humour and self parody. I think most DVOA albums sound different to each other. This has been accidental. There never has been a plan. Frankie Pett is the death knell of my interest in electronic music. Can't say I ever set out to make "electronic" music anyway. Maybe used electricity but I am still a barbarian at heart. back to The Happy Submarines... back to the releases
