Great! My plan worked perfectly according to …. plan(?).
Here we are on a Thursday (collab days) and the track we come to is pretty heavily collaborated on. I posted this track earlier this year, so yes, get ready for a bonus track today to quell any chances of haterism from the naysayers out there.
Jon played some guitar and I played some ER1 and we turned the gain to the tape reels up really high. Then I got crazy with the scissors tool and the spectral plugins in Logic.
This is the weirdest one.
MPC straight to 1/4″ reels via Mackie mixer and LXP-1 on send.
Chuck originally called this one “Untitled”.

Artist: Noggin
Album: Every Early Experiment
Date: 1997

This is one of my earliest attempts at deep house. Samples ripped from all sorts of various sources, most notably a French Canadian girl I found on irc to lend her vocals (where you at “Lady”?).
I always really liked this song, and it was kind of hard to pull off live, as half the keyboard was devoted to loops and the other half was me playing the string section live. All the jerks who I used to play live with who had serious superiority conflicts cause they used ‘real’ samplers hated this. Yea well guess what your ‘noise jams’ weren’t even that noisy and they were more like suck-fests…at least I could tell that they had no grasp over the equipment and were just making that crap to get a cool pass. Here comes my 15 year old ass like ‘hey guys check out this house track i made’ and all i get is ‘house!?! what a loser’. Small town life, what can you say?
Still a favorite. Forget the haters.

Welcome back, Jon.
Here’s one that, after extensive editing, got pieced together from some tape Jon and I laid down one night in the garage.
It’s an ER-1, some harmonica, and that old orange guitar, cut to hell and edited in Logic.
