History from a 2014 Perspective:
Back in the dimness of pre-history, when the
rocks of the Earth's crust were still being crushed and folded,
and dinosaurs roamed the Earth (2004-ish) I'd finished building
lots of analogue synth gear and had bought a Terratec EWS MT88
multi-channel soundcard. This was connected up into a form
of working studio, Cubase SX2 was installed on an adequate
machine and things seemed to be working fairly well. It
was time to play with some tunes, and to learn how go go through
the entire process to produce a playable CD-R in UHJ encoded
Ambisonic surround sound. Long story short, the three
discs below were the result. You can still get downloads
from CD-Baby and there are some other musical bits and pieces
that I will probably dump in here. Here is the old page
with minimal editing for the moment, primary so that I can link
this to the still extant CD-Baby page. After all, no-one
likes a bad link.
Turned-on-Tijuana is no longer available
unless you find a CD-R knocking around, and the UK MCPS
clearance for the minimal number of copies made has been used
up.
Colossus is all original so that's available for download on CD-Baby and via many digital distributions.
Nikmis's Ambisonic Picnic was an album of
original electronic tunes that I mixed into surround via
long-distance communication, and that is also available for
download. If by a miracle of buyer's good taste that ever
makes any cash, most of that goes to the composer, Mr.
Simkin. I'll perhaps detail more of that historic
collaboration later.
You should consider everything after the line
below to be archive material as I'm not really driving music as
a live hobby at the moment. I've edited a bit to correct
links or remove them if bad, while I find any possible new
locations.
