Permanent Experiment:
The Music of Bomis Prendin
The late 1970's were a fertile time for experimental music. Musical movements and philosophies proliferated faster than critics could give names to them—DIY, No-Wave, Art Noise, Industrial, Electronic (as opposed to Electronica) and the all-encompassing Indie. Before long, a market emerged for the musical meanderings of these pioneers, and record stores did a brisk business in homemade recordings of all kinds.
Bomis Prendin started in a bedroom, ran out of room, and moved into the living room with all of our gear, such as it was. Everything was recorded to a cassette recorder, and overdubs were performed by way of a second cassette deck. We used musical toys, a wheezing motorized organ, guitars, bass, rewired circuitry, anything that came to hand that we could get an interesting and/or inspirational sound out of. We argued and fought over what we were going to be, but the tension resulted in something uncategorizable, even within a genre known for willfully disregarding musical norms.
When we released TEST, our first of two 9-inch flexidiscs, one reviewer went so far as to say, We owe our lives to brave records such as this one. While the sentiment seems a little hyperbolic, we were trying to create something new every time we played together. And we still are.
