Sometimes I Forget To Breathe

I have been toying with this idea for a while and this week I finally executed it. This week is about recording on cassette tape at high speed and then playing it back at low speed. Yes, I know, mind-blowing...
Anyway, I started with a simple motif on the Liven Ambient Ø, using all 4 layers. Then I recorded in stereo (on 2 tracks) on the Tascam Portastudio 424 Mk2, twice!
Finally I mixed all 4 tracks on the Portastudio and fed the mix in a Golden Master Pedal, recording its output on the Zoom L-12 (who needs a computer anyway?).
Pretty happy with the results! I think I'll keep exploring this process by composing and arranging in an even higher register, to keep more high end when slowing everything down.
Have a nice week everyone!
