About this listen

From the archives...

This was up online a while back when Trevor Wilkes hosted it at Fun-In-The-Murky, but I found it again and thought I'd archive it here. Done sometime in 2002.

Music bits:

An hour's worth of cuts and reworks, effects and weird scratches by artists like Frankie Bones, Joey Beltram, Adam Beyer, Andrei Morant, Dj ESP, Tony Rohr, Dj Sneak, Dj HMC, Nigel Richards, Dj Rush, Christian Morganstern, Mika, Bob Brown, Terry Mullan, Angel Alanis, Dietrich Schoenenman, Dj Urban, Freddy Fresh and myself.

Tech bits(for the studio nerds)

Acid 3.0 (final mixdown was 855 tracks! - unlike Ableton which is everywhere now, each snippet in Acid required it's own track...damn damn)

Tuareg 1.5

Soundforge 5

bunch o' plugs

wavesurgeon 2.56

How it happened bits:

Lots of pieces dumped and loaded on the MPC2000xl like I'd do for a liveset .. cut up, filtered, run off through the patch bay into effects, crossfaded and recorded back in.

mix slows from 138 bpm to 105 bpm and then goes back up to around 135 somewhere in the middle...mostly done as an experiment learning smooth tempo changes in the program and how many additional chops I would need to create to build the effect.

Machines....shut down...think about it
