The music - 2002 to 2007

SG Lion bridge

Most of this collection was recorded on an ancient Hewlett Packard file server that had been rescued from a skip. The soundcard was a dirt-basic Creative Soundblaster and the software used was the same copy of Cakewalk PA9 that I'm still using today, running under Windows 95. The only "real" instrument used in the entire collection was my bass guitar. All the rest of the instruments are Yamaha XG voices.

Some of the bass guitar effects are unusual. I generally used to double and even triple-track my bass in order to get some punch into the sound in those early days. I also used a couple of triggered filters (kind of like an autowah) in conjunction with my slapping technique to get some of the stranger tones.
