"What", you may be asking, "is this fool on about now?".
Well, in 2000 I finally completed a music project for the first time since about 1996 when I did the Wave music: it just happened to be a rather quirky one! It was also the first thing I did where the sound quality was really up to scratch, such is the improvement from going digital rather than relying on analogue tape.
background
As you may know from the about pages, in my day job I work as a librarian. One of my colleagues, June (a remarkable person), retired, and I did these tracks for a one-off CD as part of her retirement present. You may be expecting easy listening or some other stereotypical genre: wrong! In order, we have (slightly) aggressive techno, hypnotic techno and ambient techno. For want of a better way of expressing it. Though the minutiae of dance sub-genres largely eludes me...
june's trolley
For the moment, there are just some small clips in MP3 format. They are 10 second clips in 56kbps MP3s which you can play directly from here (all 70k).
- Moon in June mix | 10 second clip
- Manoeuvres at the speed of light mix | 10 second clip
- Shhhhhhhh! mix | 10 second clip
