RACINE NO.1 DEMOS DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

 Wendy wrote the demo on her Fender Thinline guitar and 4 track Tascam portastudio in West London over a period of time, stretching from the Elvis Costello collaboration ‘Now Ain’t The Time For Your Tears’ in 1993 until she moved to NYC in 2002. During that time, she learned how to play guitar, how to operate a portastudio, alongside an original tape echo machine! And because there was no function to overdub or ‘drop in’ to correct mistakes, she had to play every part: guitar, bass, voice, perfectly from top to bottom! Good training! 

The original demos contain many samples, recorded from VHS videos! Samples such as Dennis Hopper’s hallucinating train of consciousness in Apocalypse Now by Francis Ford Coppola, ‘La Boheme’, the opera by Puccini (which Wendy sang in, at Glyndebourne Opera House as a child), Harmony Korine’s debut movie with Chloe Sevigny ‘Gummo’, Michelangelo Antonioni’s movie, set in London, ‘Blow Up’ and Terrence Malick’s ‘Days Of Heaven’… also newsreel of the Southall race riots in London on April 23rd, 1979.  These samples would not go on to be part of the recording and release of Racine No.1. The demos also feature little vignettes between the songs! A micro attention to details, which paint a musical image of the time and the place and the story each song tells.
