Artist: RedHouseGreenHouse
Album: Dirty Tape demos
Release Date: 2010

This is one that my buddy Rocky and I threw together one spring day in Anacortes. Another friend of ours had donated a superbly awesome keyboard sampler, the Ensoniq EPS, and these short few lo-fi tracks came out of the first breaths that machine took in our studio.
We weren’t sure how to or even if this thing would work, and all we had for a sound source was my recently pick-up’ed nylon guitar. So every sound is from that guitar.
Major props to Rocky.

Recording doesn’t always go as planned. I sat down one night, recorded hours worth of stuff, only to listen to it the next day and realise I had somehow only managed to record the reverb sends to tape.
This is one of those tracks…I still kind of like them.

Title: Theme Song to Adnan
Artist: Noggin
Album: n/a
Release Date: 2010

Fast forward to present day. This is a track I whipped up out of boredom/inspiration one afternoon last spring. This differs from my normal take on production in that it is pretty much entirely Logic instruments doing the sound generation – with the exception of the terminal ‘say’ command reading from a Chuck script I wrote for a friend who needed a looping sampler.
Dedicated to and inspired by my good amigo Mr. Marquez-Borbon. How about laying down some real tape-sax for me hombre?! Includes hand-shuffled rhythms.
