I just made demos on a four-track in the 90s with my guitar, a second hand drum machine and a mate's bass if I could borrow it. They weren't really for anything, there wasn't ever going to be a group or a live performance or anything. That track is a reworking of something from about 1994, done in about 2000 or 2001 when I was in Italy (so without access to a bass). I think the master cassette was getting very near the end when I recorded it, which has made it sound a bit wobbly, but it's just about get-away-able-with.

I haven't done anything since 2001/02. I bought a Focusrite interface thing* a while back which came with Ableton Live Lite, with the intention of trying to start recording things again. I even bought a keyboard with drum pad things on. But there never seems to be enough time to learn how anything works or how to play it.
*clearly I know nothing about the technicalities

Volume Seven?
I think the morrissey pre-cover was the last one, oh wait it was the New Order one..
Anyway, it does feel like its time for Vol 7, doesn't it?

After a decade and a half of inactivity, I've made four new tunes over the last year so I can stick something on V7 should it ever happen

If you make a new thread, they will come.
Or not.

Making a new thread might confer stewardship and I am but a song and dance man.

is there going to be a theme or anything? I was feeling vaguely inspired by pplains' misdirected email post the other day.

I'm up for one of these, even tho I no longer have my lovely studio mic. Its been a year or 2 since I did any tunes :(

They're doing an ILX pre-cover now, the Pet Shop Boys "Whoopee" or whatever it's called.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 10:23 (eight years ago) link
Super. No that's what the album is called.
