Selected Works, 1990-1997

Dave Fuglewicz (like FEW/FYOO-GULL-WITZ) began experimenting with electronics in the 1970s, and then later only started meddling with recording techniques in 1984. Yet still, he waited another six years before he released his first tape in 1990, which was incidentally the year he claimed to have bought a 4 track recorder. "At that time I was unaware just how large the independent tape network was, but I was about to find out." Dave wrote about his first tape. Prior to that, he did "sound on sound" recordings with a walkman and a radio shack tape deck, eventually succeeded by a reel-to-reel recorder. Dave's project name was initially called "Industrial Strength", and it went for two releases before he began simply using his own name as a solo artist. Fuglewicz referred to the period between 1990 and 1997 as his "analog years", since he began to "go digital" in 1998, and continued to create steadily until his passing in 2021. Since distribution was mainly limited to "the cassette underground", those of us who care to know can benefit from the intimate knowledge that through limited resources and grainy home dubbed cassettes, and although he was almost self-defeatingly humble in many ways, Dave Fuglewicz created some exceptional, spirited recordings. This collection was compiled with the hopes that the work of Dave Fuglewicz will find a wider audience than it did while he was alive. credits released March 3, 2023 All Sounds Recorded by Dave Fuglewicz (R.I.P) Collage Art by Grief Council
