LHP - Earth

Using the designs for a homemade CDRecord engraver from http://cdrecords.net46.net/tutorials/ and  the 24/48 masters from the Digital Analogue (First generation) I set to work.
I experimented firstly cutting sound onto old CDs, which, because of the record players auto-return mechanism were impossible to play, but some sounds were recovered and used.
So, I thought, and came up with a number of alternatives. Tinfoil plates, plastic picnic plates and 5l plastic bucket lids.  
Although I didn't manage to get very much of the original sounds cut onto the plates, I still got some very interesting material to work with.

These are the results.

The plastic picnic plates and 5l plastic bucket lids will make another appearance later............


LHP - Digital Analogue 2.1

As an off shoot from the Digital Analogue project, I took the CDs, old records, plastic picnic plates and bucket lids and cut locked grooves in them with a gramophone player at 78rpm. Then returning to a regular record player, recorded these grooves at 33rpm.
Loaded these files into the sequencer and commenced too play....

LHP is the solo project of Dave Webb. Originally a guitarist, he began using a drum machine as a metronome and discovered that programming beats was far more fun than playing in a thrash metal band. This led not only to the making of bangin' 303 606 acid techno but also experimenting with low speed DJing at Zero Gravity, Club Dog and Megadog events. On discovering the joys of sampling and sequencing with an SU10 and Atari ST his music became increasingly breakbeat orientated; about 8 years ago he purchased his first PC and hasn't looked back.

Today his studio consists of a portable SD player, a stereo microphone and a PC running sample manipulation and sequencing software. He uses only found sounds recorded in the field, computer generated frequencies and, more recently, self played and recorded guitar and drum sounds. Sometimes the tunes evolve from an initial loop which then dictates the tempo and feel of the track. Sometimes they grow from a concept - maybe a muse on the sonic possibilities of the periodic table. And sometimes they just germinate from a beat seed.
