" ... the "Sunrise" album started as an art school project for [teacher] Mark Wheatley ("Design a cover and promotional materials for an imaginary band"). Mark approached me with the idea of including a real LP instead of a cardboard mockup. The Seventh Dawn in 1975 was very much an imaginary band; almost all the tracks were recorded one part at a time, since everyone was busy attending classes, and Bil [one of the Munson brothers] was 110 miles away. Since I had access to the [VCC] electronic music labs, I took the overnight time slot and patched everything together on a Teac 4-track tape machine. I hauled the small drum set across town and set it up in the lab each time drums were needed. The keyboards used were determined by whatever wasn't broken when I arrived, so some tracks used a Roland, some had an Electrocomp Synthesizer (how many ways could I filter a sawtooth wave?), and some even used a little organ keyboard when nothing else was around. Because my musical education was originally classical, the arrangements were intended mostly for orchestral instruments. I plan to make MP3s available of the songs I had originally planned: a collection to be called "Such a Lonely/Seashore". When the fake band idea came up, we replaced some of my songs with songs by Eric [another Munson brother] and Ann [then girlfriend and future wife Ann Zeleney].
For the 1990's vinyl reissue, I tried to recruit the original members for "Sunrise 2.0", but there wasn't enough interest to overcome the logistical problems. At this point, it's easier to distribute my stuff as I'd originally planned.
The later songs have more comedy...the "Sunrise" album was too gravely somberly serious.
Finally, my apologies to every real band who used the name "Seventh Dawn"; our amateur schoolkid project should not be confused with anyone else's serious efforts."
