I recorded this song to my son Friday the 22nd to post on my fb page on the 23rd. The 23rd marked 1 year since the loss on my son. The song came to me about 3 months earlier. A little rough as I did this alone, start to finish, in 6-1/2 hours. It is what it is. I will come back to it & redo some tracks. I was racing, in my mind, against time on this one. Ramsa T820 board, Tascam MSR 16, Sony W33 CD Recorder.

Really interesting and original composition! I liked the vibe and all the nice layering. Even the ice cube folly was cool! Mix sounded pretty good as well.
Good stuff!
Cheers!

My band is about to have it's second album released, the whole thing was recorded and mixed on a 388. Two songs are available to preview:

Love it!!!!! I remember hearing your other album too.Love that too. This stuff is right up my alley.
Well done
I'm getting started on another record, and after trying a few experiments like this, I'm probably going to eschew the use of polyphonic synths

In a way that's a shame - the Polymoog did add a special touch to the last album. On the other hand, doing it the Switched-On-Bach way is pretty hardcore.
Only half kidding of course. My Polymoog quit on me and I haven't repaired it yet.
The main thing I seem to have learned in my recording career is that doing things the most difficult and time-consuming way always produces the best-sounding results, and anyone that says otherwise is probably trying to sell you something

Makes sense. I don't know much about them but I know they have a reputation for doing that.
Incidentally, did you ever get anywhere with that tape copy of Truck Month and the EP?

Haha I concur.
The synth stack sounds great on your upload! I really loved the dry drum sound and the backward cymbal wash too. Good luck with the new record!
My band used a bit of backwards cymbal on this song, which we just made a super 8 vid for:
"Sad Emporia" by Freelove Fenner on Vimeo
This will probably be our last super 8 clip from this record. We're starting a new one this month too.
The scrape flutter idler on my MTR-10 got screwed up and was adding gross bearing noise sidebands to everything (esp. test tones...) I removed it and it's better but of course the machine is back to the scrape flutter level of an MX-5050 or something. (I assumed this was OK to do since it barely affects the tape path geometry, my friend's MTR-10 has a timecode head instead of an idler). I've got to get JRF to look at the idler and then I'll be able to do the dubs with confidence.
Wow! Your recording and mix sounds great. Sounds like we both go for the exact same drum aesthetic.
Also, that's a stunningly good super 8mm transfer. I shot a lot of stuff for my music videos on S8. I rigged my own telecine by designing a circuit to phase-lock the projector motor to my video camera's output (giving an exact 19.98fps transfer without any frame blending or flicker,) but of course the image quality is only as good as the video camera (principally deficient in dynamic range). This was back when I had no money and infinite time...
On a similar note I recorded and mixed this for some Austin friends using my Fostex R8... another guy did the super 8 clip (they wanted me to appear as Tape Satan around 1:40 in)
