Quondam Current (Force-Inc 2000, Frankfurt)
My second album, a product of the Minneapolis winter. There was a coffee shop right up the street from my apartment. It was called something terrible, like “Cyber Cafe”: There were tons of dog-eared magazines in between the crust-filled cracks of an eclectic sofa collection and some PCs to play games on. They closed at midnight, and I would walk there every night at 11:55 and get a big cup of coffee. Then I would stomp back through the snow to my apartment and work on music for a few hours. I didn’t have a TV, and the only Internet I had was dial-up. After making some money with Parallel Processes, I was able to write music full-time.
Full album after the jump!
This album was released in early 2000 on the Frankfurt-based Techno label Force-Inc.
Equipment: Same PowerMac 8100 that I used for Parallel Processes, but I had a bigger ProTools system, including the famous Lexicon NuVerb card. I got really into convolution effects, especially the one in Soundhack. I also found a really strange, teutonic program called Reaktor. I never knew that it would end up changing my life and bringing me across the globe to Native Instruments’ headquarters in Berlin…
This release is out of print, and this is the first time this album has been offered online for free.
Man, I had this one when Force was big business… I don’t remember how i lost it. Really great of you to give it away here though, i’ve perused all the advertisers here as thanks.
Still use that Protools rig at all?
thanks. I totally went through this CD with Reaktor open, y’know, “back in the day” when I had a beige G3.
I remember tromping around CyberX between ‘98-’00 then grabbing a big sammich from Big Mikes. I lived over Its Greek to Me.
