about

'Moontrekking with Joe!' is my attempt to recreate some of the sounds pioneered by legendary record producer Joe Meek. In particular his work as an independent record producer from 1959-1967. This recording references sound effects utilised on the first ever hit by a U.K group in America 'Telstar' by the Tornados in December 1961. Using sounds I recorded in the bathroom sent in reverse exactly the same as on the famous 1961 record. I also created an approximation of a 'Clavioline!' a piece of synthesizer technology popular in the late 1950's early 1960's, (becoming synonymous with instrumental recordings by Joe Meek!) . The guitar, and bass references the sounds used on Joe Meeks Freakbeat recordings particularly 'the Riot Squad' and 'the Blue Rondos!' 1964 track 'Baby I go for you!'. The final clavioline melody was influenced by the melody from 'Magnetic Field!' a piece of music which appears on 'I hear a new world, an outer space music fantasy composed and devised by Joe Meek, featuring the Blue men directed by Rod Freeman!' Joe Meek co-wrote and recorded 'Tribute to Buddy Holly' by 'Mike Berry and the Outlaws' in 1960 and now I have made this space age re-invention of the Joe Meek sound. Of course I am not privileged to have the staff that Joe Meek, had in 'the Tornados!' and particularly legendary session drummer 'Clem Cattini' who went on to perform on more British no.1 hit records than any other drummer including some of the early 'Kinks' singles.
