Blood Rust Electronic Cottage Edition

12/16/2018

"Blood Rust" was composed a couple years ago and is an unreleased piece. While I was playing around with a couple VST's I got one of the best-to-me distorted, feedback-like sounds. I proceeded to improvise and recorded "Blood Rust". I edited it for less repetition and may release the full version in the (nebulous) future. I hope you enjoy it.

Electronic Cottage Daydream

12/3/2018

During a daydream of the phrase "Electronic Cottage" I had a thought of Hal in a cottage doing audio work (I can't think of a different all-inclusive term for what Hal does) and so made this. The manufacturers' logos are just a small representation of the machines Hal has used in his vast and weighty lifetime. Hope y'all like it.

I've been working with analog synths, mainly on the electronics side, since the mid-1970's. In 1981 I purchased my ARP 2600. I worked on recording and mastering the intricacies of the 2600 until my first cassette release in 1990. Since 1981, I have also acquired an ARP Odyssey, Axxe and Sequencer, a PAiA Stringz and Thingz, several rack effects, stompboxes and home made synth modules. I used to have an Echoplex but it became unrepairable. It is featured on some of my early recordings.

I started recording using two cassette decks, then a reel to reel with sound on sound, then a 4 track cassette deck and now to my computer. I occasionally use my micro-cassette (when Hal motivates me). Around 2002 - 2003 I moved into working with computer based compositions, with either stand alone programs, VST's or (the great tracker) Buzz.

Around 2004 I joined The Tapegerm Collective creating using loops made by my fellow members and my own
recordings.

I have been sidelined with several illnesses from August, 2017 until now May, 2018 and have not done much recording (or anything else). It has been frustrating, but I have been able to reflect on what I want to do next, the major projects will be: 1) complete releasing of my solo and Tapegerm recordings to archive.org
2) repair/refurbish my analog synths
3) complete my next studio iteration. Hopefully this will not take too much time.

The majority of my solo analog synth work has been posted to the archive.org site and I have provided links on my website.
