Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark	Electricity   → "Electricity" by "Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark"	single	Factory	1979		Inspired by Kraftwerk's "Radioactivity," the song addresses society's wasteful usage of energy sources. Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys sing the lead vocals on the track together in unison. After OMD's first concert, opening for Joy Division in a 1978 appearance at Eric's Club in Liverpool, McCluskey was inspired to send a demo of the song to Factory Records founder Tony Wilson. They later heard that while he was not impressed with it, his wife was, so he bought it from them and released it as a single. Its ensuing success led to them receiving a 7-album record deal with Dindisc, / Vince Clarke (of Erasure, Depeche Mode, Yazoo and The Assembly) has cited "Electricity" as his primary inspiration to pursue a career in electronic music, while BBC Radio's Steve Lamacq has named it as the track that made him want to become a DJ.

Sounds From Phantom Islands	Faitiche	2019		album collects tracks created over the last 3 years for the interactive website, Phantom Islands - A Sonic Atlas (http://andrewpekler.com/phantom-islands/) / Phantom Islands are artifacts of the age of maritime discovery and colonial expansion. During centuries of ocean exploration these islands were sighted, charted, described and even explored – but their existence has never been ultimately verified. Poised somewhere between cartographical fact and maritime fiction, they haunted seafarers’ maps for hundreds of years, inspiring legends, fantasies, and counterfactual histories. Phantom Islands – A Sonic Atlas interprets and presents these imaginations in the form of an interactive map which charts the sounds of a number of historical phantom islands.		*	2:10:03 (Pop-up)
