Another microtape construction. This one came out kind of dub-influenced.

I keep coming back to this. Cannot. Stop. Listening.

Yeah - really amazing work.  I LOVE how the tape buzz changes with the tune.

This really draws you in.  Great vibe.

Can you say a little something about your process?

January 30, 2012 3:23 pm

Such an awesome Mille Plateaux/12k vibe from your stuff. Love it.

Thanks for the kind words!

@Scott: I record sounds on my microcassette recorder and then go through them with editing/multitrack software to look for things that loop in ways that I like (For this I use an old version of Adobe Audition I am fond of). If something needs more precise cutting I'll use my hardware sampler which is a Korg ES-1. It's not an excellent sampler, but it works really well for the style of music I like to make. I basically repeat this process until I'm satisfied with the result.
