G42 is one of the founding artists on Sinusoidal. G42 has produced a wide range of sonic assaults, starting with the MC1134WE recordings in 1989 and expanding to a wide range of accoustic, analogue, and digital albums.

Bio

The Gathering (1986 – 1989)

During the second annual camping trip organized by Fritter, Carmodious, Xymon, and Sgt. Brick, the name G42 was given to this ragtag band of fugitives during a secret meeting between Fritter and Carmodious. Shmeeb 42 became a regular by the third year and Doug showed up for a few beers.

The earliest G42 recordings, dubbed the Portable Noyz project, featured Fritter, Carmodious, Xymon, and Dave Newby but these were nothing more than chaotic jam sessions and were never produced for release. This period however remains a central inspiration for their later material.

Early Recordings (1989 – 1991)

One night in 1989, blessed with free access to studio space at the Toy Palace (now defunct) as well as Pizza and beverages, Fritter and Shmeeb recorded anything their minds could force the equipment into producing. Having zero prior experience with electronic music gear between them, they recorded well into the night and created the first G42 album, which would come to be known as Minimum Clearance 1134 Wembley's Earotica.

The following year, Fritter and Shmeeb once again gained access to studio space. Many more late-night recording sessions would follow in Studio X (now also defunct) which was located in the basement of the house where Fritter was staying. At this time Dan 243 also joined Fritter on many recording sessions. Much of this material is included on later versions of MC1134WE as bonus content.

Limp Sink (1991 – 1994)

Acquiring a select time slot on UBC's CiTR Radio, Fritter and Shmeeb 42 start to broadcast Limp Sink every Friday night from midnight to 08:00. Joined a few months later by Postman Pat, the Limp Sink radio show was the prime source of all the recorded material during this time, resulting in two full-length albums and one 3-minute single.

The Ranch (1994 - 1997)

During this period, the Limp Sink show kept on going but the most significant result was a lot of partying and backyard barbecues at the Ranch. Unfortunately, very few recordings have survived.

In the spring of 1994, the G42 crew made several DAT recordings in an abandoned cistern. Their first purely accoustic collection, this would later become the only release from this period.

Dark Ages (1997 - 2001)

Also known as the Galactic Payback, the band was all but disintegrated during this time. The Limp Sink show had been cancelled in a wave of scandal and without access to the radio station equipment, there was little time or funds for recording.

Digital Noise Rebirth (2001 - )

In the Autumn of 2001, Fritter and Dan 243 make a pact to record every Wednesday night for the sake of sanity.

The style of music during this period had become very noisey and strictly digital. By 2004, G42 had performed their first live show and albums started being produced again.
