My Portastudio arrived, so been digging out old tapes and converting old files. Here’s two tunes I wrote circa 93 or 94 on Bars & Pipes on my Amiga…I suspect I have these on 8 track tape somewhere but here are the re-MIDI’d versions from ‘Reality Engine’.
The first track I originally recorded in the studio at University- hence the Juno part – how I loved the Roland Juno 2, best. synth. ever. Given a 2014 shine in more what I was aiming at – I was listening to a lot of Sabres of Paradise, Aphex SAW and the like, I think some of that comes through…
Next is a strangely happy track, a hybrid of Happy Shopper supermarket ice-rink strings which I loved, hiphop and a sort of Aphex thing going on. It was weird being at art school, I’d do these deep heavy arty distorted tracks at home, then goto the studio and this would come out and I’d be appalled…
I’m going to digitise and remix more of my old 4-track tapes, so expect more from the archives! You might not hear the singing stuff, though….*blush*
