Item Description
The Optigan was a chord organ made by Mattel in the early 1970s that played back
lo-fi sound loops on flexible LP sized discs, each disc containing optically encoded
rhythm section grooves in a particular style of music (i.e. country, bossanova),
along with drum loops and keyboard tones. Think of it as the 1970's version of
GarageBand, where amateur artists could put together their own songs using loops
of recordings by professional musicians. Optiganally Yours started in the mid
1990's when Pea Hix became obsessed with the magnificent Optigan. When Pea
had the idea to start a band around these haunting sounds, his roommate Rob
Crow chimed in and said "I'll be the singer, and the band will be called Optiganally
Yours." After releasing two albums 1997's Spotlight On Optiganally Yours followed
by Exclusively Talentmaker in 2000 Pea rescued the Optigan's original studio
master tapes from a SoCal garage, and set out to assemble basic tracks from the
thousands of loops and sam ples the tapes contained. Thus work began on a third
album, O.Y. in HiFi. "Several of these sessions never became discs, so Pea chopped
them up, as you would with a real Optigan," says Crow. "And we wrote all these
new songs using these materials, in addition to my guitar and voice of course. I
think it's the best record I've ever done."
