  • Listen to the album here: fractalmeat.ba...
    Something that sounds like crunchy techno, created just with two mixers. The Behringer 1604a acts as a drum machine and the Soundcraft F1 is on the bass/tones.

    A rave of time travellers in the 1970s live broadcast over AM recorded with bad reception on 8 track tape that got a bit moldy over time and was rediscovered just now. Fantastic.

      Isn't it just the techno as it is - dealing with processes, as opposite to writing sequences of separate facts? Processes of any kind. What is accessible and convenient, that is to use.
      So that the idea "to WRITE techno track" is profanation. Perversion of.
      And... the INSTRUMENT is not the "genre". The pencil is not the book written by pencil.

      Just a feed back loop fom aux out into channel one. Be careful with the volume so you don't harm your ears but using the EQ and gain you can make some interesting stuff.
      Just buy a second hand mixer and a few patch leads the build up from there aux 1 to line 1, aux 2 to line 2 and so on, then bring in the fx on the mixer or use guitar pedels like delay chorus, flangers .

(also have been lucky to open for Toshi!)
