Bio
The Gathering (1987 – 1989)
What was originally planned as an annual camping trip, this group of ragtag fugitives was dubbed by the second year as G42. The original members included Fritter, Carmodius, Xymon, and Sgt. Brick. Shmeeb 42 became a regular by the second or third year and Doug showed up for a few beers.
The earliest G42 recordings, dubbed the Portable Noyz project, 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 both the Toy Palace (now defunct) as well as Pizza and beverages, Fritter and Shmeeb 42 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 MC1134WE.
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)
The Ranch (1994 - 1997)
Dark Ages (1997 - 2000)
