So, itâs 1998 and after spending my whole life trying to create original sounds-Im completely lost. Im trying to use everything I know and make one big rolling ball of sound-almost a kind of jazz and I hate it. At this time I get my first broken DAT machine, ( only plays back tapes recorded on it). It sounded so clear and so clean back then. I had a method where I made sounds of all origin, recorded and layered them in multiple analog tape machines and then mixed it all together-to DAT- to make thick, original sounding music. As much as I loved the time spent playing, programming and recording ALL THIS STUFF- I wasnât hearing what I wanted. There was something wrong. It sucked. Some nights it felt right-little moments I knew it was working-but mostly it was crap. For two years no one heard a peep. Then the DAT machine died. I thought I wasnât supposed to make this. Even though I knew little bits of it were rich and complex to me, musically satisfying, I let thirty 1 hour DAT tapes just sit. Well, ten years later I borrow a brand new Sony DAT machine that plays back anything and I load the lost years into Pro Tools and sure enough I was right-a little more than 20 minutes of it was exactly what I was trying to do-I hope you hear it and enjoy it.
