Electro nostalgia rarely dates any further back than Kraftwerk, but LA trinket-tinkerer and gadgeteer Alfred Weisberg Roberts, now known only as Daedelus, harks back to the days of a distant yore with his Invention longplayer.
Like Plug Research peer Safety Scissors, Daedelus is inspired by appliances; but where Scissors prettyboy Matthew Patterson Curry seeks to find the soul of a new machine --singing tunes from the perspective of telephones or refrigerators-- from its spiritual inside, as Daedelus, Roberts is concerned with the phsyical mechanics of machines, machines from long ago.
Following his high-concept post-junglist concrète/breaks picture-play Her's Is >, which was issued in typical obscurity on Phthalo, Invention seems to be Roberts' ode to the necessity of modern mechanics; the artwork filled with dreamt visions of a range of invention; from reel-to-reel recorders to letterboxes, kettles, cheese-graters, and compact cameras.

 Daedelus - LA Alternative Press - Unearthing Daedelus
'People don't know what to do with me,' explains the man behind the Daedelus moniker, Alfred Weisberg-Roberts.
Daedelus provides less than conventional hip-hop beats for the album while the lyricists smash political slandering and ad hoc imagery into some of the strangest, if not funniest, hip-hop that's been released.
Frankly, even Daedelus isn't quite sure what kind of artist he is, though for the record, he has been formally trained on double bass and bass clarinet and studied jazz at USC.

 Daedelus - Exquisite Corpse
Daedelus is the alias of the equally portentous-sounding Alfred Weisberg-Roberts, a classically trained clarinettist-turned-electronist from Santa Monica with a penchant for Edwardian garb and a record collection of epic proportions.
The new release from Daedelus, 'Exquisite Corpse' is an ode to, and a lament for hiphop culture.
Daedelus' world is weird and wonderful, like setting a hundred Victrolas off to play in a room simultaneously with an MPC watching over them: sometimes they fly off into a cacophony of junk sounds, and sometimes they synchronize beautifully.

 Green Galactic Daedelus
Daedelus is the super-ego of LA-based experimentalist Alfred Weisberg-Roberts, whose implosive sound will soon be household as nuclear power.
In addition to general marketing services such as publicity, promotions and public relations, we are emerging as a pop culture solution provider for anyone wanting to effectively reach and deliver to hip markets.
When he's not crashing his computer's hard drive, Daedelus DJ's on the Internet radio station www.dublab.com.

 EM411.com - [music] Invention - Electronic Music 411
Named Alfred Weisberg-Roberts by birth, Daedelus clings to musical traditions and inserts them into a digital world where the impossible is. Like the mythical Greek inventor who built wings which allowed him to fly, his work is original in a crowded world of trends and contest.
I can't pinpoint any of the samples you used to any specific decade, Daedelus, but I got the vibe from those samples that these pre-60s decades were the ones you were trying to grasp some of your sound from.
It is created by Daedelus, an individual who's album cover resembles that of a 19th century dandy more than a obscurity laden stone-faced electronic musician.
