People Have Their Secrets

So there I was having a surf from Malarkey’s site to Brothercake, all techy stuff and what have you when I stumbled upon Brothercake’s (aka James’) secret past - that being that he used to make music. It prompted me to dig out some of my old tracks and having listened to them I felt compelled to put them up here and share them, warts and all. Much the same as James, these are housey/rave tracks that I put together back in the early 1990s, pre-Mac, pre-Garage Band. Basically a few samplers and an Atari ST. So, for any old ravers out there, here’s some good old fashioned ravey shit to take you back to those dancing-in-muddy-fields-till-the-early-hours for you. And yes, it really does sound very 1992 (all happy pianos and stuff!)

Note - they were all recorded back off old C90 master tapes, so it’s not CD quality. Format is AAC (iTunes-friendly) Enjoy!

    Listened to some tracks and they do sound like rave.

    I am a huge Front 242 fan (pre-rave), already from 1981 they make superb music.

  2. music seems to be a common thing among web folks - thinking of zeldman’s very philip glass-esque waterbox, for instance.

    me, i used to do lots of video stuff and multimedia, surround video installations. i’ve still got GBs of stuff on an old harddrive, but it’d be a pain to pop it all online. who knows, when i get a chance i may make some single-screen edits of my 6 screen surround work and pop it onto archive.org or something…
