In the beginning there was Port Said. This was a band I started and worked with from 1981 to 1984, with Keith Keeler Walsh, now deceased. When we began to play and record, there was great excitement, since we had spent years listening to all the new imports in British and European electronic music, as well as the American minimalists and various underground experimental artists, and this was to be our chance to make a contribution.

Since we were located in NYC, there were some good opportunities to play live and introduce people from labels, clubs and other musicians to our sound. We also benefited greatly by being included in the Contact List of Electronic Music, an informal sporadic zine that was put out by Alex Douglas of Vancouver, B.C. This made us a known entity among the new recording artists in Europe, Australia and Asia, and made us aware of them.
