Daniel Aliangana is a medical technologist from Eldoret, Kenya. In 1994\u00e2\u20ac\u201c95 he was studying at the Royal Infirmary in Glasgow, and living in the apartment blocks in nearby Sighthill. He recorded these tracks in his spare time, and gave me a tape before he left for Kenya.<\/p>\n

Daniel recorded these on a double cassette deck, carefully overlaying each track by recording live over the top. He used a classical guitar, an electronic keyboard, and some kitchen objects for percussion.<\/p>\n

There are occasional harmonies which might have been provided by Catherine<\/a>‘s former flatmate Grace Achiya<\/a>. Grace is also from Kenya, and it was through her that we got to know Daniel.<\/p>\n

I don’t know where Daniel is these days, but there’s a Mr D. Aliangana listed<\/a> as Chief Technician in the Department of Medical Physiology at Moi University<\/a> in Eldoret. Wherever you are, Daniel, I hope you are well, and thanks for the music!<\/p>\n
