Pete Townshend - Baroque Ippanese
An instrumental piece off of Pete Townshend's 1987 compilation album "Another Scoop". One of my favorites from the album & a great example of Pete Townshend as a musician & the different instruments & styles he experimented with. Pete Townshend: "I've always loved Cornwall. In August 1982 I took some demo recording gear down to the holiday cottage we rented. After a day's sailing on a laser dinghy in the heavy, blustery sea off Falmouth I came home and recorded this peace. It tries to suggest the splendour of an archaic ' tall ship' ; great square-rigged sail-training ships often dominate Falmouth harbour. This piece is dedicated to 'The Marques' and her crew lost in the Bahamas last year in a storm." Format: TEAC portastudio 224 with DBX. 3 3/4 ips. Instruments: Prophet 10. Roland Compurhythm. Roland Delay. Venue: Cornwall. August 1982
