This is the first cassette of original music(?) that I saved, about 1996. Not very impressive but that's okay.

Story behind the song
Tracks recorded on ghetto blaster, bounced to 16-bit soundblaster (@ 32kHz to save disk space). Edited & badly-"mixed" destructively in Cool Edit -- by guesswork, since CE didn't have multitrack capability at the time. Transfered to cassette circa 1995, re-transfered to PC yesterday. Mastering for this MP3 involved noise reduction, EQ, and uses extreme limiting as an effect (surprisingly, the latter makes it sound much better, turning the layers of background hiss into a dynamic additional instrument). Musically, built from relationship between descending piano tones & static guitar feedback drone... at least that was the idea. Instruments: Guitar + hardware fx paper coffee cup + pencil piano & percussion samples
