saturation skill

this week I was occupied with working and an interesting seminar about skills in DBT by Marsha M Linehan. The only day I could find time for music was on sunday afternoon. And the song I wanted to make should be about the magic of tape cassettes. Everything should sound like a very badly used tape, almost losing the surface with the magnetic film, still sounding saturated. As well I wanted to include the typical dolbybutton effect, that feels like suddenly standing in the rain.
The music is a quick jam with the SP404, effectpedals and the OP-1. It was difficult to bring the result into an audible mastermix, because the substance was very nibbled. the main commitment and skill for me here was radical acceptance.
Then I made my job to cut this track on polycarbonate with the recordcutter and made the whole thing even more analog and lofi. You can listen to WilCOx-RaW-CAts on WB.
