Tape Sequences

I went to work on making a song out of that "rejected" bit from the other piece early yesterday morning and churned something out pretty quick. I mean, I'd already done the hard part so I figured I'd let it rest on some long, easy to "splice" drones. So I'm including the link to "Tape Sequence 2" (you may guess that "Tape Sequence 1" is what's going to appear on the compilation thingie). I don't think I talked about the project here. So I joined this group on facebook called "Electronic Music Philosophy" because I saw they do periodic "challenges" where you're given some technical or conceptual challenge to build a song around and it seemed cool. The one that was just opened up when I was joined was about (surprise, surprise) tape sequencing. The early electronic method, before control voltage, of creating an individual note (or whatever) by splicing the desired length from a longer recording. They of course specified they weren't looking for everyone to actually use tape but you could use a daw to execute the same functionality. Well, I've enjoyed stupidly dabbling in cassette tape so I figured I could actually use that. So I'd drone one note at a time using various oscillator configurations on my module, ran it into the tape deck I'm still borrowing from Paul(!), and then hit record for the brief time I want the note (and then hitting play to add the space between the notes). Obviously, can be a bit time consuming but it was fun to work on and I'm happy with the piece (/pieces) I got out of it. Later I worked on some flyer art for this show coming up in October. Sitting around, reading, watching Get a Life, eating banana pudding I got from trekking out to the Commissary to get a present for my dad. I got to sleep late last night and then I woke up early this morning. So that's kinda dumb! Anyway, here's that link:
