about

Not sure of the exact dates, but they are all from between 1996-1999.

I found a bunch of old cheap cassette tapes with some random improvised stuff I recorded when I was very young. It's mostly garbage, but I wanted to preserve them online so here they are.

Mainly just an Alesis SR16 and and a Casio CZ1000 connected via midi throwing out random sounds based on the drum patterns or me messing around, with some delay & reverb via a multi effects rack. Recorded live directly to a stereo cassette deck. At some point I acquired a Gemini DJ sampler so there's some of that mixed in here randomly.

Tape 2 was recorded outside at Promenade Hill Park in Hudson NY in 1997. I discovered I could plug into the street light poles to power my gear & I brought it all there and just made some noise in my headphones.

Some of my friends added sounds to this:
Paul Crowther
Lucas Humann
Aubrey Rhys
Shane Sweet
..And a few other very nice people that I can't remember because it was over 20 years ago and I wasn't as organized as I am now
