{"product_id":"stu-cisco-amanita","title":"STU CISCO Amanita","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1980, ‘Amanita’ is an early approach of Canadian artist Sherine Cisco, formerly known as Stu Cisco, to the limitless world of synthesizers in music, through ambient, progressive rock and drone noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unique combination of ambient, progressive rock and even drone noises and space-age that converged in ‘Amanita’, her first full album and a piece of music history. This LP marks a milestone in the investigation, experimentation and evolution of musical instruments, where the Mini Moog demonstrated its versatility and creative potential, opening Sherine to a path of limitless possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time ‘Amanita’ was first released in 1980 (only 300 copies were pressed at the time), Sherine had been playing synths for seven years. But far from acknowledging how traditional instruments were played, she tried to do things her own way, creating moving landscapes and a unique language of sound. This \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eDIY\u003c\/span\u003e approach to music was, as well how the album was made, in her own studio, with synthesizers that were originally meant for live performances such as the Elka Rhapsody or the Elektro Harmonix, channeled through a Dokorder 4 Tape Recorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, what Sherine Cisco was living in her personal life, a gender transition, was as important to the record as the instruments she used to create it. “Beginning in the early 1980s, I began experimenting with taking the female hormone, estrogen. I felt like I was gradually being re-born. It affected my music, the mood of the music, and me, physically and mentally”.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRemastered from Master Tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eExtremely highly demanded LP in Second Hand Platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eHand Made Silk-screened cover art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition – 500 copies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eInsert with images and interview from the artist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e GLOSSY005 -Artist-Stu Cisco\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Ambient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1\/26\/21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STU CISCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42747742060567,"sku":"DRRCQ2-WIWX-TS","price":29.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/3027\/9959\/files\/stu-cisco-amanita_CtAY8.jpg?v=1755183120","url":"https:\/\/staytunedrecordsfl.myshopify.com\/products\/stu-cisco-amanita","provider":"Stay Tuned Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
