Influences: The history of recorded music!
Sounds Like: Definitely a LOW FI affair! The music posted here comes from a diverse collection of demo recordings and experiments created either by myself or with various friends. Some of the older music was recorded onto cassette tape. So, do not expect pristine high fidelity audiophile quality recordings. The key word here is RAW !!! When inspiration hits, sometimes the only recording medium available might be a boom box, an ancient cassette deck or worn out reel to reel recorder. Whatever it is, use it! I have recently started using some computer based recording software to improve the quality of the sound. So maybe in time, my recordings will sound better. I hope to capture an occasional good performance!Some of us just cannot afford to buy studio time or purchase top of the line recording equipment. But, regardless of quality, inspiration hits the poor and the well to do alike! This is a hobby! I am not trying to sell anything or secure a record deal. I post this stuff just for the joy of sharing. I hope you enjoy the music. Thanks for dropping by.
