Project Description:
For this project, Timo has focused on using his Fostex-x15 four track cassette recorder has his main instrument. By recording a different chord to each of the tracks, he was able to perform and record songs. These were one-take recordings recorded straight to a stereo mix with guitar pedals used as fx-sends. Some additional synth and other sounds were added afterwards on some tracks. One outcome of using the four-track recorder as an instrument is that the tracks do not have a fixed beat and the timing is loose, like waves hitting the beach.
