2022 available now!

Click here to listen to the EP! 2022 is an EP inspired by sketches I recorded during that year in Belgium.
The challenge for this month’s EP was to bounce all tracks via cassette tapes before mastering. I failed. Kind of.
The resulting audio was very interesting, with some artifacts here and there, a bit of tape wobble, warmer audio, and a bit of harmonic saturation, everything I hoped for… EXCEPT for the fact that not only was there tape hiss (expected) but also a weird mechanical noise that I couldn’t get rid of. Oh, and the playback speed was faster as well, I could have digitally slowed it down to match but that also introduces digital artifacts.
That’s the downside of using an old machine, and unfortunately sending it for repairs (or learning how to do this myself) would probably take a while, and we have to move onto the next EP!
So I’ll be including both the standard version as well as the tape one in this release (on Gumroad) and on all other streaming services I’ll just include the standard version (non-tape).
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!
