Cassette tape back catalogue: 92-98.

I recently found about 15 cassette tapes of old pre-Endif material.

This would all have been written from '92 til about '98, at which point I started putting most recordings onto then-expensive Zip drive cartridges on the then-revolutionary (and expensive) VS-880, and then onto a 400mhz G3 macintosh.

Probably half of it is only useable as sample material.
Which is fine, that's my bread and butter.

Some of it - Winterlong, the material made with other people, particularly my ex wife - well, let's just say there are intellectual property issues that will probably ensure that none of that ever sees the light of day. Too bad, as some of it held promise. Oh well.

The rest is clearly proto-Endif. Probably half of this is actually pretty good, if I do say so myself. ;]

Listening to this group of tapes makes me wish I had been more confident and more connected back then: I was making good powernoise back in '92. I wonder how it would have been received, and, if positively, how that would have changed the recent history of hard electronic music.

At any rate, I might have been able to make some money off it, eh?
Bloody downloaders. =P



So yes, found old tapes, am now sifting them for a possible release. Likely a smaaall run of special physical copies, followed by a free net-release or something.
