Tascam Jams.

This is going to be where I upload a series of jams on my Tascam 8 track 488 cassette portastudio, they're a bit rough and ready as I'm playing it all live apart from some of the drum beats which are programmed... this means mistakes are kept in, which is f****** great as it mirrors life perfectly, our mistakes are kept in our lives and we learn to live with them; as in life as in music.

Also recording to tape mirrors the direction of time, when you record digitally its very easy to grab stuff in a non linear way, which is great if you are not lazy. However for someone like me I tend to cut and paste a lot and it leads to repetition.

I record these basic tracks on a Tascam Porta 02, then squash them onto one or two tracks of a Tascam 488 and then add overdubs... then they go into digital, then they bounce around a few satellites, go down a few wires and into your ears. Cheers.
