Inca Music Project

For their next release, Salvation Records have unearthed a misplaced recording of Ceredigion seaside string-laden psychadelia. From the Seaside town of Aberystwyth comes the Fuzzed out library orchestra , Prosiect Cerddorol INCA (Music Project). Conceived by former Radio Luxembourg member Rhys Spikes, this endeavour featured collaborations and co conspirators to create alternative soundtracks for long forgotten but forever treasured animated films for the “Cardi” youth. Beginning as a “picture” house band for the Aberystwyth Art Centre cinema, INCA expanded their repertoire and ventured out beyond its creative confines to become a regional oddity on the live circuit. Fuelled by discarded psych records found in Ceredigion Charity shops as well as continuing the legacy as Welsh language musical “unconventionalists” Y Dyniadon Ynfyd Hirfelyn Tesog and AD 73, INCA were unlike anything else that came out of mid Wales. With influences as perverse as Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies, Elephant Memory and Fifty Foot hose a danceable maelstrom was created by using modified and discombobulated orchestra instruments and home made electronic gadgets. The recordings you will hear on this release were created at Blaen Cae studio in north Wales on THE National Eisteddfod week in 2008.Overseen by Beat Box heavyweight and former Genod Droog front man Ed Holden. (who’s “phormula” proved invaluable for catching the projects sound) and should have been released on the “Sbrigyn ymborth” label. Alas this was not to be and the tapes were stored away until the audio archaeologists at Salvation discovered them.
