The songs on this site that I recorded last year were done on a rented Tascam 2400 digital recorder. The more recent songs from this year were recorded on a Mac using the Garageband program that usually comes with a Mac. Yes, they are lo-fi and there are sometimes synching issues (because of either my limited musicianship or because I was using the computer keyboard to play simulated drums instead of a MIDI keyboard or real drum kit), but in most cases they are close to how I envisioned the songs. It's quite fun playing a guitar or bass part on acoustic guitar and then adding the Garageband distortion, "Grunge" guitar amp simulator and/or Vocal Transformer effects to make it sound like an electric guitar or bass.

The lead guitar sound has a fat synth sound that reminds me of Low tracks, ie. Bowie and Eno in 1970s Berlin. Well done. :)
