Pandemic lockdown tracks
An album in progress.
So far these are reworkings of stuff I did in the past,
remastered for streaming at around -14 LUFS.
- Live II A
(m4a),
Live II A
(mp3), 10'38.
The underlying track started as a "live in studio" recording on August 12, 1988,
improvised in one pass direct to cassette tape,
using a drum machine and synthesizers, plus a live mic.
Synth overdubs were added sometime in early 2020
and the trumpet take on March 7, 2020.
Final mix on August 17-19, 2020.
In other words, it took me 32 years to finish this.
Never give up.
- Blue Age (m4a),
Blue Age (mp3),
04'21, trumpet recorded January 7, 1989, on analog tape.
Hand percussion, shakers, recorded August 26, 2015.
This remix in Ableton Live finished May 9, 2021.
The previous mix
Blue Age
(mp3), 04'21, was inished on September 19, 2015.
Also, it's pitched 12c sharp, or about A443, due to issues
with matching tape playback speed.
