about

A compilation of my earliest four-track cassette recordings (3 tracks actually as one track was usually broken) made under the HMDS/Handmedown Satellites name, and slight variations thereof. Recorded roughly from 1997-2001 in the bedroom studio known to myself as Little Dusseldorf, in Normal, IL.

Released in extremely small handmade batches (generally no more than 5 copies) with track lists varying from copy to copy, mostly given to friends or left anonymously at record stores and coffee houses and such in and around the Bloomington-Normal area. Some of the tracks were supposed to be released as "Peg & Awl" on a cassette label in Florida, but I never saw any copies and have no idea if this actually ever happened.
