Notes

"It began with an addiction to Krautrock. The addiction is now under control but a steady stream of the avant garde is required to keep the equilibrium steady."

Another project realised with the worlds easiest music software package and a lot of sample gathering activity.

We set this one up to keep the creative juices flowwing when everything Click Click came to a temporary standstill. The Toy Shop is a project where everything that makes a noise becomes music and everything that is music becomes a noise. Although the majority of the music is instrumental in nature, several "guest vocalists" appear throughout the catalogue. These are "found" vocalists whose original utterings had nothing to do with music whatsoever.

This is an ongoing, ever developing form of music that occasionally takes elements from such genre's as trance, techno, drum n bass and musique concrete. Click Click & Paperhouse samples have been known to appear when the fancy takes us.

The album "This Is Art, This Is Entertainment" is now available from Kunaki.com and samples of the work can be located at the following sources:
