The cr-78 and another korg rhythm box i forget the number for the pulse bass , we used a variety of sequencing devices , So we just used it triggering the first step over and over, pulse bass ,Īnd jerry played along live with it.if there was any sequencing done likeĪrpeggios or whatever, i did it live manually.when jerry switched from drums
since it was analog it was really imprecise to program Step analog sequencer that went with the ms-20, it looked like the ms-20
Ivan:" The first sequencer we had was the korg sq-10 which was a 10 or maybe 12 This was the band that was heading into studio to record the first EP. Ivan, Jeremy, Stefan and Lysanne Thibodeau. At times, Ivan would play guitar and bass keyboard at the same time. In those days, Ivan played keyboards, bass and melody, and sang, while jerry played drums. A bizarre yet interesting combination of music and art noise by John during the pauses between songs. Although they never did any shows, they shot some great pictures. There is actually a cassette of this show. This was the line-up formed for the legendary party of Mia and Alex McClean. Ivan, Dave Hill, Pierre Paquet and Jeremy. This was at the height of the punk era (circa 1977), when the Hotel Nelson was not much more than a flop house. They did the first real shows of MWH opening up for 4 shows of Alan Lord at the Hotel Nelson in old Montreal.
It comprised Ivan, Dave Hill, John Gurin and Pete Seabrooke.īetween 1978 and early 1980, there were several line-ups. In 1977, the first version of MWH is formed. In the early days, there were a lot a different formations, some of which never played any shows aside from parties: The concept was that Jeremy recited his poetry over the music. During this year, at the school's annual student concert, Ivan, Colin, Stefan and Jeremy (+ a drummer nammed Igor, played their first concert together under the name "Wave 21". This is where Ivan met up with Jeremy Arrobas. Before there ever was MWH, the three brothers were attending the French high school Stanislas in Montreal.

It was their motto, as Brother Colin so aptly put it, "style before comfort" that led them into the nether-regions of early cyberspace, the world of primitive sequencers, samplers and drumboxes, populated by such classic hardware as the Pro 5, Dr Click and the LinnDrum. Once upon a time, in a land far, far north, there lived three brothers who never wore any hats.
