Rare early recordings (20th century) are unjustifiably preserved here:
descent (full version)
Good concept badly executed. Tracks recorded on ghetto blaster, bounced to 16-bit soundblaster (@ 32kHz to save disk space). Edited & badly-"mixed" destructively in Cool Edit -- by guesswork, since CE didn't have multitrack capability at the time. Transfered to cassette circa 1995, re-transfered to PC yesterday.
Mastering for this MP3 involved noise reduction & EQ, and uses extreme limiting as an effect (surprisingly, the latter makes it sound much better, turning the layers of background hiss into a dynamic additional instrument).
Musically, built from relationship between descending piano tones & static guitar feedback drone... at least that was the idea.
Instruments:
Guitar + hardware fx
paper coffee cup + pencil
piano & percussion samples
note.mp3
Title is an apt description. An experiment to see what I could do to vary texture of a single note.
note (rhythm mix)
The phat club remix. I like the skittery rhythms more than the fatter, more conventional beat part.
no god only religion
Spiritualized cover. Made with the built-in MIDI synth in my Soundblaster, controlled with virtual keyboard & mouse.
M-m-M
Quick & sloppy 2-guitar track
Lenin Plays the Theremin
100% guitar. Throwaway title based on the semi-interesting fact that Lenin apparently was taught to play the Theremin by Leo himself, and the coincidence that one of the guitars on this track sounds almost, but not quite, exactly unlike a Theremin.
