About Me |
|
| The aim is to to explore different sounds and music ranging from acoustic to electronic to more rock oriented stuff. Low-fi and even No-fi is the name of the game. Recently had to move to 8 track difital after blowing up 2 Tascam 4 track tape machines, which is all very well but missing the hiss of the tapes....anything can be used to get the required sound, including banging on a microwave with a mic in it...but moving into moog territory lately... There's some absolutely fantastic music around on myspace - the best seems to be from the many unsigned but extremely talented bands and individuals who deserve to be heard more......many thanks to all the good people that have been in touch, The Captain really appreciates your friendship, thoughts and comments.... THE DOGS' FAVOURITE PLACE |
