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

really great!

agreed.

this really makes me what to use tape, that sound is so good.

so good, every week

insanely good. wow. i love the subdued texture. reminds me a lot of gold panda.

Excellent.

good job!

Really nice.

Excellent stuff.  Such a restrained tone.

so cool

loved it

Awesome!

Another stellar entry. You definitely have your own "OK Ikumi" feel which I absolutely love.

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?

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.

Beautiful work.

what! this is so good. you're on a roll!

This is the joint right here.

Lovely Stuff

yep. this is gorgeous.

Supernice track!

Mellow feel... I'm taking this track during my winter walks. Really inspiring!
