about

Songs of the New Erotics "While The Architect Was Sleeping" has been lost and rediscovered several times. It was composed (possibly improvised) by W.A.Davison sometime in the early 90s and recorded on low-bias cassette. Exact details of the composition and recording are unknown but it was likely intended as a soundtrack for a W.A.Davison film. It was found and dubbed to DAT with no alterations in January, 1995 and the original cassette was destroyed. At some point in the 10 years between 1995 and 2005, the DAT version of the composition had been imported into a Logic Audio arrangement but nothing was done with it. Again, the composition was lost and forgotten for a time. In May 2005, while working on a commission for James Bailey's Electric Storm/A Missing Sense radio show, Davison rediscovered the Logic Audio version of "While The Architect Was Sleeping". Some basic clean-up took place at that point and "While The Architect Was Sleeping" was released as a CD-R on Davison's Disembraining Songs label in June, 2005. In Feb. 2021, Davison re-mastered the CD-R version of "While The Architect Was Sleeping", improving the overall audio quality of the piece considerably. The original cover art by W.A.Davison (featuring a very Heartfield-esque photomontage) was also resized and cleaned up. I am very happy to present this new, entirely digital version of the Songs of the New Erotics album "While The Architect Was Sleeping" and hope that you enjoy it! For lovers of drone, noise, and strange sounds.
