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.

Love that "long hair" surrounding Hal's threshold-ed smile, Dave. I think you missed out by not putting a TEAC symbol in there somewhere though, ha ha!

Hugs to you, DF

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.

If you are interested in my music, please go to my website.
The majority of my solo analog synth work has been posted to the archive.org site and I have provided links on my website.

ELECTRONIC COTTAGE is an international magazine where independent artists, musicians, writers and freethinkers share in-depth articles, essays, interviews, tech and gear reviews and tutorials,
and much more.
EC draws inspiration from the Cassette Culture Revolution of the 1980s, 90s and beyond; Mail Art, Small Press and Zines, Dada, Fluxus, Punk Rock, Hacking, Circuit Bending, Anarchy, and Noise.
EC values inclusion, democracy, experimentation, independence and freedom of thought and expression, open-minded exchange, and Community.

From this moment forward the Electronic Cottage website will primarily be an online magazine for the publication of lengthy and in-depth articles, essays, and interviews.
For those of you who use Facebook I have created an Electronic Cottage Group, which will be a casual social gathering place of the EC Community, where EC people can meet, share artwork and news of current projects and releases.
The EC website will continue as before, and I encourage those of you who do not use Facebook to use the FORUM page here at the EC website to post miscellaneous thoughts and personal updates.
The website and this EC Facebook Group are two separate but connected entities of the greater EC Community.
