This tune was a super fun exercise in DAW-less looping. Cole had been wanting to make a tape loop by physically cutting and splicing together 2 bars of a drumbeat I performed. After he made the loop, I added guitars, bass, and synths. Cole even synced up a drum machine with the loop, which took a few attempts to get locked in due to time phasing.

After we filled up 8 tracks, Cole did a console mix by adjusting the faders in real time and doing delay throws to the SpaceEcho. He also changed the tape speed midway thru.  Pretty cool analog nerd stuff :)

The only time it touched the computer was for mastering.

I am a composer, recording artist, and pioneer in the field of electronic music and sound design. I'm best loved for my fifteen albums of original music which feature my performances in a broad array of expressions: pure electronic, solo piano, piano with orchestra, and piano with jazz ensemble.
