self-indulgence is my favorite kind, personally

Cool Tapes: Gymnopédie No. 1 for Wurlitzer and Portastudio

I've been having a nearly impossible time getting started doing anything. I'm perfectly in the middle of 12 things that all need doing and I'm stuck in the center. Who the hell keeps doing this to me, giving me all these things to do? Oh well. To try and break free and point to something I could say was finished, I went Erik Satie mode via Arturia Wurli V2. I also wanted to see if I could maximize the amount of tape hiss I could introduce to a recording in one take, because I figure I've had plenty of practice with minimizing superfluous noise that I should go the other way now. It's important to practice all skills, even the useless ones. Oh, and at one point I messed with the pitch knob because it's hard not to do so! I love this machine. Thank god it's so easy to get things done with it.

Nicky Flowers - As much as I like some hiss, I think I'll keep recording with the noise reduction on :P - 11/07/25 - (send any comments/questions to hello at nickyflowers dot com)
