Artist History S.A. Fred, AKA Peter Baldwin: "I've been producing electronic music since 1987. My first bits of kit were cheap Casio keyboards, a phaser and a tape deck. Since then, not much has changed, apart from a few more synths and a computer.I purchased my first "real" synth in 1989, a Casio CZ1000, and when I realised I could create my own unique sounds with it, my excitement spurred me into a continuous effort to express my ideas in sound and music.I haven't followed any particular musical style, however, I have followed with great interest the various developments in dance music since 1987. Beneath this interest in dance music, lies what I could call my "foundation", my admiration for Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, and Kraftwerk, not to mention various others. I source my style to these artists, the originators of the electronic sound.

Group Members Peter Baldwin: Keyboards, Drum Machine, anything else I can find.
