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.

New Acoustic Song

Here's a new Acoustic song, played on a Taylor Big Baby. I'll be doing more videos in the new year. Download the original song here for free :

Some old electronic music WOT i DID.

I also dabble in EDM, here are a few links to the thing I did a couple of years ago called Surf Prophets... I haven't posted that side of my music online before, but it's time to put the stuff up on Bandcamp, Youtube, ans Soundcloud (The usual suspects).

It's mostly instrumental, some have vocals, i'm aiming to use the tunes as backing tracks and release a version with vox.

Things have been a bit quite on the Broken Mono front as usual, however I've been collaborating with a Mr Lee Hoggett (AKA) C60 over the past year or so... I thought it'd be nice to post a tune here, so here we go.







This song is called Freedom:


Lees music can be heard Here

Cheers.
