![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Confessions of a Teenage Sociopath Vol.3 - Greg Fox The third and possibly final installment in the teenage sociopath series, remastering tapes from my childhood. Here we have two long improvisation/medlies based on early compositions from 1989/1990. The tape dates from summer 1990 and was recorded at school. (I was 15.)

The first part is a ten-minute explosion of headless recorder tape cut-up, the second is the story, accompanied by 1990s ensemble pieces, all about a man on a park bench who thinks he is God until he steps in dog-poo. The third part is a long VERY aggressive VERY unpleasant tape piece for virtuoso keyboard. The fourth is a disturbing look at man versus machine, including a horrifying tirade of abuse from the ZX Spec...

The final thread is a kind of farewell to "fake instruments", for fake piano and fake bass guitar.

The 20 amino acids translate in this model to a ten-division equally tempered octave with one major and one minor chord per pitch-class.
