borrowed my buddy’s roland kit for a night, and foolishness ensued. i recorded the kit direct, then recorded 2 guitar tracks also direct, hence the terrible tone. here’s a little clip of my accident

this is a clip of another experiment i did. again, i tried using some tape decks to record all the strings and a barely noticeable percussion layer, then dicked around with the sounds digitally. i managed to get a pretty good accordion sound. it would be fun to revisit this one and add a few glitch drum tracks with meaty bass, and some high guitar wails

this is a little audio experiment i did a while back.  i used two separate analog tape recorders, recorded three guitar tracks, then transferred them to Ableton.  i really like that handcranked sound that Bibio gets, so i tried to approach this exercise with that concept; obviously, the sound i got was wayy less refined and has a really coarse skin.  the next time i go for lo-fi, i want to play with some tape warp tricks too.
