I am happy to back after over a week of being away from home. We lost a family member and it's been busy trying to sort things out. Things are ok now and I've been enjoying time with my partner again.

This week I built off an an old recording I made years ago utilizing a tapedeck, ipad, and echo effect (might have been for a weekly beat?). I think the initial idea was to play with the idea of digital sounds imitating analog synths being transferred onto an analog medium (cassette tape) and being processed by a digital pedal imitating analog tape echo. I think at the time it was funny to me.

I ended up extending this by running it through another reverb pedal then digitally altering and adding more layers in Ableton. At this point, I am not sure where I am in the digital/analog joke but it was interesting enough to me.

Gear Used:
General Electric no.3-5003a (portable cassette recorder)
Korg iMono/Poly (iPad app imitating Korg monopoly)
Strymon El Capistan (Digital Tape echo pedal)
Tascam DR-05 (used to record original audio used in linked video)
Youtube (played back from old recording)
GFI Specular Tempus (reverb pedal)
Tascam DR-40 (digital recording of youtube video into Specular Tempus)
Ableton (processed and layered recordings)
Granulator II (Granular layered sounds from recorded material)
Aberrant DSP Digitalis (additional sound design processing)
Glitch Patch recording (layered for texture)
