Storm Machines - Cloud Stack Horizon - 2VU-CD01

The debut EP from the Storm Machines, sometimes thunderous, often with an echo of the Bristol sound revealing the shared acoustic heritage of a pair of Drum and Bass DJ/Producers allied with a modulating guitarist. Swirling, looping phasing soundscapes of beat driven off beat poetry brought to you via Tanzania, Manchester, Windmill Hill and the Cheesewring. Against this varied sonic palette the highly tempered word smithing forges a message for our time, their time and the timeless. CD from Amazon.com

Arcane Machinery - Soundcloud

A bunch of tracks I did in about 1986 using a basic home studio with a little four channel mixer, some home built rack kit such as a compressor, parametric EQ and a patchbay. And the following pieces of (now) antique gear...

  • Fostex X15
  • Roland Drumatix TR 606
  • Roland SH101 (grey, in case you're asking...)
  • Commodore 64 with 8bit Sampler and FM synth expansions
  • Grampian 636 spring reverb
  • BOSS DE 200 Delay (with sample/hold)
