The Department Of Polyrythmic Experimentation

About Me

A great deal of work created by Click Click never saw the light of day, most of it being too abstract or pseudo commercial for the bands purposes. That music lay untouched for years before its merits were reassessed for inclusion in the PaPERHOUsE project. Work began in 1989 after a confusing time in Switzerland took the life out of Click Click. The Department Of Polyrhythmic Experimentation (D.O.P.E.) began assembling the contents of the vaults in 1991 and the first recordings, a tape entitled Disintegration, came out in 1994 (Not Enough Memory.) Several more tapes were finished throughout the 90's before Click Click reformed in 97 to produce Shadowblack. Work resumed with PaPERHOUsE shortly thereafter and the CD Bug Sun was finally released in 2000. Sappho followed a year later. Various other projects and ideas are ongoing (noteably Skripglow and Bug-Sun) and the series On Acid is about to produce part 3 ("Without The Wax") a treatment/remix of Click Click material.We're currently trying to contact PIAS to determine the whereabouts of the original master tapes. If we can get our hands on them we will try to remaster and re-release them. WATCH THIS SPACE.
