Title: Live from Stafford 20 December 2008
Artist: Bananahat
Album: Live from Bryan, TX
Date: 2008

When all three members of Bananahat happened to convene in Bryan, Texas around the Christmas of 08, good things happened. SkullF*cker had a show booked at Stafford, and along with Bryce Clayton Eiman, Bananahat was around to pull the electro-noise-house vibes out of the winter downtown air.
Technically, this was Bananahat plus, as we had two at-large members join us on stage in masks and stuff. There’s laptops, live vocals, a feedbacker modded-sp303, akai mpc, korg er-1, tuning forks, contact mics, more feedback loops, and most importantly the magic of the season and weariness of the road.
The actual performance was about 30 minutes, but the recordings got started a short ways into it. Major props to Houston for hitting that record button…I don’t know how I could ever remember much less describe Bananahat at their finest hour.
Chappy Chanukah to all yall.

Definition of Love-Hate here.
This track was originally a favorite of mine, though I figured it might not appeal to a wide range. However the first few listeners loved it.
It went through many permutations and edits.
I eventually started to despise it because it’s so nasty to begin with, its not easy to tame.
It almost got scrapped, but held on as being the first reviewers’ favorite – how could I let it get relegated to b-side-land?
It’s an ER-1 feeding back on itself and pressed really hard to tape in the garage with Jon.
ER-1 straight to 1/4″ reels.
Chuck originally called this one “Dirty”.

A more pop take on last weeks drunkard of a beat.
Made for the same project, at about the same time, with about the same equipment. ER-1 still bleeping away, but now some softsynth epiano and the 808 has gone -> 909 / sampled drum machine.

Sound of a drunk synthesizer.
Also from the TreeVerb by Spratt demos. I threw this one together with the mpc and er-1 on bleep mode just to get something with some pure tones going so you could hopefully get a clearer picture of the reverb effects. TreeVerb was designed to generate impulse responses that were made up of a virtual ‘forest’ of trees. Some unique properties came out of this in unnatural configurations, notably placing the trees in a spiral.
