Breathing Different Atmospheres

Most of this tape was a set of “ambient” (for lack of a better word) pieces done by James Britt.

Some of them contain material taken from what was likely an LP of African drumming; there's no record of what that might have been.

Tape loops were used.

It's possible that a Casio SK-1 sampling keyboard was used. If so, then these pieces had to have been done around 1985 since that is when the SK-1 was released.

The other, far noisier, pieces, were almost certainly done earlier.

There is no earthly reason they should be on the same cassette, but there it is.
