This is being released early 2014 on Steal My Oil Records, so you’ll be able to get it on iTunes, Beatport & probably Juno, but until then you guys can grab it directly off me at Bandcamp.
It’s built on a spine of Elektron gear : all drums are Machinedrum, the Monomachine is at the heart of pretty much everything, both as a sound source & the main MIDI sequencer & the Analog4 features on about 40% of the album too.
Awesome. Love the style on beyond the far orbit of eris, my favourite type of techno. Also the kick on Ixion:Plutino is fantastic. My fave kick on the MD has to be the efm when it sounds like a beachball but this one sounds like a goodyear zorb being bounced by a giant… Such good mixing on it all as well. Totally jealous.
Things progressing slowly with the label, getting it up on iTunes etc etc…but seeing as the bloody thing took me 2 years to finish I’m not in any immediate hurry !
thanks again to all those who have listened/ acquired - it means a lot.
I’m a straight-up stereo-jam to handheld recorder -guy - I ditched complex multitrack stuff a few years ago as it was that which was sapping all the vibe & fun out of it for me & making it seem like work.
I will usually do quite a few long takes & I try to pretty much nail an ‘arrangement’ live, by just feeling it out, but often I will comp bits of takes together in Pro Tools at the end to make the final arrangement I like.
Finally some of the tracks have extra bits of ear-candy, found sounds & some synth parts just hand played in & then I remix the whole thing back down to stereo.
But in the main these are just live stereo jams basically - it’s the only thing that works for me these days !
