Also, maybe I never quite appreciated it in the first place. It's one of those things that is too hard to comprehend the scale/size/quality of, so you need to spend time with it to...

Tricer [even louder] by OCTOSHED!

Dis, is it? 25.09.2025 5:43

Track created solely on an Amiga 1200 in about 2002. Lightly re-mastered in 2025; had to take some of the top end off it, it was a bit too "screechy" sounding due to the usual 8-bit clipping mayhem. Samples my original version of "This is it" by Peanut & Jorj / OCTOSHED! - https://soundcloud.com/octoshed/this-is-it-remastered-2024?in=octoshed/sets/this-is-it-single

BC S AL 17.05.2025 2:44

Originally called "benclear", but remixed/slowed down just for fun!

Colin FA DB 17.05.2025 27:26

5/4 beats, 180bpm (ish), MC-707 This is a more distorted version of "Colin FA" (the "DB" in this version means "Dirty Beats"]. The saturation/crunch is from overloading the 4-track tape machine. Also crunched this into the CALF Limiter in Audacity. It is a completely separate live mix from the other cleaner-beats version. The dirty version was played/created first, but the clean-beats version was...

Colin FA 12.05.2025 18:01

5/4 beats, 180bpm (ish), MC-707 First structured composition created on the 707 (before now it's just been more jammy, but this has more of a structure and different sections etc, not just knob twiddling). Played the sections ("Scenes/Clips)" live, recorded onto 4-track tape - beats in one channel, everything else in another channel. Bounced across to Harrison Mixbus to re-digitize it, in mono. Th...

Brum SJR 707 160bpm 21.12.2024 44:58

Monday October 28th 2024: MC-707 jam, one channel, recorded straight to tape - kind of dub reggae techno vibe, but no real b-line, then at 34:43 it goes a bit gabba! Note: tempo might be slightly out due to tape machine.

T8 KM 90bpm 21.12.2024 42:32

Monday October 28th 2024: Roland T-8 for the beats (plus a little bit of b-line), with Korg Minilogue for the arpeggio stuff. Recorded straight to tape, 2 channels, panned hard - beats in one side, synths in other channel. Note: tempo might be slightly out due to tape machine.

17/8 time - nasty beats - 120bpm 21.07.2024 11:24

Just a 1-minute loop, looped for 11 minutes. Created in Hydrogen on Linux, and boosted/limited/distorted in Audacity. 17/8 time. The beats are broken down into 4 + 4 + 4 + 5. And the "5" is 2 beats then 3 beats.

Saturday Night is for Breathing -- 116bpm -- 6/4 and 4/4 time 01.04.2024 13:14

Saturday Night Is For Breathing [SNiFB] (58bpm 6/4 and 4/4 time) [DEMO 1 - BEATS] 30.09.2023 13:02

Saturday 30th September 2023: this is another backing track/beat. It repeatedly switches from 6/4 team to 4/4 time (3 bars of the the first, then 4 bars of the second, so it loops in blocks of 7 bars. Maths.) I have a melody + b-lines already lined up. This beat is to help me write/record/build the track. The beats were created in Renoise, then recorded into Harrison Mixbus for extra processing/FX...

Psych N Seek (178bpm 4/4 Time) 30.09.2023 11:35

Saturday 30th September 2023: recorded this a few weeks ago, and completely forgot about it. Mixed it down with the drums as quiet as possible. Another track featuring a DrumGizmo beat, with a Korg Minilogue arpeggio/melodies, kind of a remix/re-do of earlier/recent tracks. Just a jam, but I really love some of the sounds that come out of that Korg machine - very very sweet, emotive, sweet distort...
