Inside is Out (Newer Version)
Zirconium Mechanism 1982-1992 A decade of self development. I start with a cheap electric guitar a practice amp and 2 tape decks (not reel to reel), and as I earn money after just leaving school,I plough most of it into new and second hand gear.So the sound canvas increases as the years go on. Because I had no multi track the 1st few albums have different tracks on the left and right channels,this changes when I get a tascam 244 (4 track),the first stereo album is Satellite's depth.
Band/artist history
Let's start with the early years: I had two tape decks, a realistic brand drum machine,cheap electric guitar, Laney guitar amp and a few foot pedals (memory man,regan stereo phaser are two I remember having at the time).No multi-track or mixer, just the one on the amp.So tape recordings were passed through the amp I played the next "over dub" and taped it on one channel of the second deck,and built it up into two separate mono channels. Something a bit different and distorted is how I started off,and I loved it !
Have you performed in front of an audience?
No I'm a home recording type person.
Your musical influences
From Virgin Prunes to ABBA I like all sorts and it keeps changing.
What equipment do you use?
It was mainly analog back then so I recorded on cassette, 4 tracks, 8 tracks then minidisc at the end.I had a soundcraft 16:8:2 mixer that made life so easy,wish I still had it !
Anything else?
