h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am spending the time I used to use online. The Tascam DP-02 is the toy I've wanted my entire life. I've also been working towards it by not learning to play music the way you are supposed to.

I have generated over 180 "compositions" since March. A good quarter of them have ended up in the bin. Since this is didgital technology, I don't have piles of tape sitting around, just a slim deck of CDs.
I have given away dozens of CD compilations of my work and only a few have commented. I think the rest are nonplussed.

I truly believe I am engaged in my life's work.

You are to be envied.

What sorts of sounds are you producing, Tonsil?

Anything formatted for posting on the web?

Mostly short noisy compositions that sound like the Residents crossed with Zappa mixed with King Crimson.

Some of it is straight guitar with a lead, rhythm and bass, with homemade percussion.

Others are experiments in using the effects patches on the DP-02 as a cheap guitar synthesizer.

I haven't investigated the possibility of putting any of it online because my computer is so old and I am too silly to have it upgraded enough to generate mp3s.

I will see about sending a CD to a couple folks and see if they have the ability.
