John Celona by Alexis Celona § Here is a selection of John Celona's recordings from the 1970s until recent. The haunting track 'Downwind' features the Indian sitar player Krishna Bhatt. "When I first ran into Krishna Bhatt," says John Celona, "he was playing sitar in a country & western band around San Francisco and the Bay area. He'd come over from India, just dropped into the scene. This was in the late seventies, and he used to come up to Victoria, play private gigs for wealthy professionals who were into Indian classical music. "I was thinking Terry Riley electro raga when we did this piece. The SynKlavier Distra had just come out, so it was quite inspirational to get down and do something with it."

Culture Court music profiles: | Re-discovered LR recordings: Bodily Eye mp3 [Dublin 55] The Wound mp3 § I wrote a number of radio plays for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation back in the eighties, mostly for -- although not exclusively for -- Bill Lane's Vanishing Point series. Now that the CBC vaults have been opened and many of these radio dramas are available on the Internet, here are links to a few. Snow Shadow Area was one of my short stories, originally published in the Canadian Fiction Magazine way back in the early seventies. Cult with horror aficionados? Nominated for the Prix Futura. I also did a couple of J.G. Ballard short story adaptations, directed / produced by Bill Lane as a sub-set of the Vanishing point.
A Question of Re-Entry If you find these interesting, there are more out there, such as Train, Song of the Magreb, The Golden Triangle, et. al. Classic LR Audio stories/sound-text & soundscapes:
§ I've done a lot of sound / text recordings over the years, starting with pre-synth soundscapes in the early seventies using modified electric guitars multi-tracked into looped tape recorders to create orchestral drones. Sometimes I'd use ambient sound -- the usual stuff, waves, rivers, urban noise, machines, shortwave static, crowd babble -- but mostly favoured sound that induced trance hypnosis. My most successful early recordings would be Camouflage [1971], Geometry & Dream [1971] and Beer Parlour [1972].
