After hearing my Plutobot track ( https://soundcloud.com/steam-abacus/plutobot-06052017 ) Paul (aka DeeplyDazzled in these here parts)sent me a message about an idea he was working on - "I like this vibe, I have a Conservative Dalek vocal track waiting for your lead guitar". So he sent over a link and I had a creative afternoon splashing somewhat more than just 'lead guitar' over the rudimentary idea Paul had sent. There were a couple of bass phrases floating around at the end of the vocal snippet - I extracted and looped these and added a drum loop in order for me to have something to play lead guitar along to. I also put down some semi-random rhythm guitar chords and then sprayed whole-tone scale angular guitar over the top.

I sent these back to Paul with the usual message of 'use as little or as much of this material as you see fit'. He generously suggested I should carry on and do the final mix myself with the parts I had come up with. So I did a lot more work on the arrangement (mostly drum programming) and produced this final mix.

Paul - original concept, vocal treatment, bass loop
Steve - arrangement, guitars, drum sequencing

Steve Baker, Producer/Guitarist, London, UK

Guitars, guitars, guitars.....and some more guitars! With a few other devices thrown in (notably, a Line 6 DL4 looping pedal).

All the tracks here are emissions from the venerable 'Steam Abacus' - once a wheezing old pentium-powered antique (Windows 98SE!, mainly utilising Cubase VST 3.7, Cool Edit Pro and T-Racks), now resurrected as an only-slightly-antiquated younger specimen (Windows XP, Cubase SX, et al).

Much is initially recorded direct to minidisc before being edited/compiled on the Steam Abacus.

Some older tracks even started life on Compact Cassette. 

State-of-the-art this ain't!
