The Circle Completed
Posted in Audio/Video Recording, Music on June 17th, 2007 by Ian Malcolm“Well, what exactly have you told her we talked about?”
Recorded in 97-98. I performed all the parts and recorded to 8-track. I used excessive tape compression on this composition. BOSS DR-5 for most tracks. Me and L.Grimm for the voice track.

Posted in Audio/Video Recording, Music on June 14th, 2007 by Ian MalcolmWe all die, but often we do things that bring us nearer the grave (4.3MB).
This track was composed sometime in 1997-98. It was originally recorded to 8-track reel-to-reel, then mixed to cassette. I used a Boss DR-5 drum machine/synth to perform all the parts. I also used a Zoom 505 for effects on some of the tracks.
Tape Mix 01
Posted in Audio/Video Recording, Music on June 9th, 2007 by Ian MalcolmWhile reviewing my old tapes, I have discovered that only 2 of the 4 contain what I expected. The other 2 were either mislabeled or recorded over, unfortunately. However, one of the mix tapes was a goldmine. I have digitally remastered a few songs that I am ready to post. Keep in mind that these are songs made by a 15-17 year old!
Got a 4-track cassette recorder today
Posted in Audio/Video Recording, Music on June 9th, 2007 by Ian MalcolmI used to have one about 12 years ago. I had a lot of fun with it and filled up several master tapes and mixed quite a few as well. So of course I sold the thing and went digital in ‘98 or so, but I kept my old cassettes.
I recently discovered 4 of these tapes - one master and four mix tapes. So I ordered a Tascam Porta03 off of eBay and it showed up in the mail today. I about choked when I saw the package:

I opened the box and was relieved to discover that the unit was intact. Very clean, and perfectly functional.

Soon I will be remixing some of my old music and then posting it here. Stay tuned!
Ron Paul Registry
Posted in Freedom, Ron Paul on June 5th, 2007 by Ian MalcolmThe widespread support for Congressman Paul on the Internet has been derided as the work of “spammers”. This site aims to document the real world support for Paul’s Presidential campaign.

Posted in Black Widows, Life on June 4th, 2007 by Ian MalcolmI found this one today when I was about to water the garden


Previous readers of this blog (before it went bye-bye!) may remember when I found one such spider completely buried in the garden:

Unfortunately that post has gone down the memory hole. The truth is, we have thousands of these darn spiders around our house. Fortunately, they are not as poisonous or deadly as people assume.
