More Old Songs!

Part 2 of the Secret Music of Yesteryear!

I started messing around with a 4 track when I was 19 or so (a Yamaha MT1X). I probably used it for 10 years and even though I’m pretty useless with mechanical/electrical/real items, I got to where I could fix it when it broke – replace the bands and fix the gears or troubleshoot whatever.


After the Yamaha, I got a Roland VS-840 because I had started to write a very important musical that demanded new equipment. The musical, by the way, is called “The Pardon of Eden” and it’s about an island full of monks and nuns who are told that everyone on earth has perished in some apocalypse – and they have to decide whether to continue the human race, or stay true to their vows. Maybe I’ll post some of those songs in a later post, but it’s pretty embarassing. Eek.

Anyway, here are some more songs, recorded on the Roland, from 2002-2004.

  1. Ah, the Yamaha MT1x. The device I also learned on, and actually made money and a reputation with when I started doing jingles and theatre music with it. Re-listens are indeed embarrassing today. But you gotta start somewhere! When I sold it (on ebay two years ago) I got almost as much as I paid for it. God Bless America!
    Thanks, for sharing these. It’s always interesting when an artist allows people to dissect his journey.

  2. Very cool to hear this stuff. Occasionally my band will go sorting through old hard drives and rediscover bits of electronic weirdness and skeletal ideas we don’t even remember recording. Sometimes we incorporate these into newer songs. It’s always nice to breathe new life into something. I can’t wait to hear more!
