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, including a varied range of accoustic, analogue, and digital albums.

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.

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)
