VIGILANCE ALERT!

     In 1982 MYSTERYSEVEN acquires their first educational instrument for their electrosonic studies program, the more commercially economical little brother of "the Prophet", the beloved Sequential Circuits Pro-One.

     Being made available to a wider public at a substantially more affordable price, the Pro One is quickly adopted by MYSTERYSEVEN as their primary tool for experimentation.

     Vigilance Alert! signifies MYSTERYSEVEN's initial breakthrough in the field of synthesized music architecture.  Continued experiments and testing with the Pro-One's basic and rather limited on-board sequencer has nevertheless yielded this rich, complex, yet satisfyingly RAW inter-locking pattern of tones and textures.

     In a quickly hand-written log book entry dated at the time of this initial discovery, the emphatic words "WAKE YO ASS UP!!!" tellingly sums up the overall feel and function of this wonderful piece.

     The controversy that ensued due to its seemingly unfinished and incomplete nature was immediately squashed when the piece was played in full splendour at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre Planetarium; no further questions.

COMMENCE TRANSMISSION!

MYSTERYSEVEN Begins Operations

     In the summer of 1975, inspired by the pioneering work coming from such institutes as El Saturn Research, Kling Klang Studio, Manhattan Research Inc, and the Radiophonic Effects Committee, three long-time associates Noveloso, Ocampo and Yu set about establishing their own electro-psychoacoustic studies under the collective name MYSTERYSEVEN.

     Upon receiving their post-graduate degrees at the Eastern Subtropic University, the board of directors for the Internal Circuitry Studies (ICS) Program graciously grants the group access to an under-used 360 Sq Ft workroom (formerly the ICS Electro-Sonic Research Lab) for their continued research and testing.  It was to be in this very space that MYSTERYSEVEN would take root.

     In spite of their academic education and scholastic working environment, MYSTERYSEVEN would always adhere to a neoplastic and largely intuitive approach to their studies, rather than a hard-edged intellectual system of theories and postulates.  They maintain their ethos of joyful discovery throughout, fueled by the very same Unknown towards which they are laboring to unravel through their sonic research.

     Overcoming limited funding and apparent anonymity, MYSTERYSEVEN continues to function and operate to this day.  "This work will span lifetimes", Noveloso reports, "but in the meantime we are most happy to share our current findings to those of empathic frequency signals". Boost your receptor channel capacity range, the Unknown is vast and transmolecular.
