Mood: not sure
Now Playing: The Beatles - Past Masters, vol. 2
Topic: Works In Progress
You know, I'm beginning to rediscover what made me like the Beatles in the first place. Sure, it's the songs, it's the moods, but really, for me, the engineering of those records is what grabs me. When I read The Beatles Recording Sessions I was changed forever in my working habits in the studio. I think of those sessions often when I'm recording.
About recording. My new experimental project is nearing completion. Instead of making this big potpourri/conglomeration type of record, I've really been concentrating on a particular set of parameters.
-No vocals
-as few digital sound sources as possible (only on a couple of tracks)
-All new recordings (no unreleased backlog stuff)
-Trying to use the modular synthesizer as much as possible
There are a couple of things that defy these rules, but I've been fairly consistent so far. Some of the tracks consist of solo synthesizer performances or tape playbacks which are later manipulated with the .com modular and/or the Space Echo.
**STAY TUNED**
