Anvil Creations was first conceived as an idea for an art project in 1971. A miniature anvil was used as a model to be enlarged at least 10 times its size in plaster. It was a study in physical structure; a visual sculpture if you will. Many years later, an idea was presented to Ken Moore (4) that caused him to think about selling his aural compositions on cassette tapes. He needed a name, and the plaster anvil chiseled in art class gave him the concept for a creative name. Beginning in 1980, Anvil Creations was the name on every cassette release that Ken dubbed in real-time for customers on a one-to-one basis.
