In 1998 I released my first self-produced album titled "Time" on home-burned CDs and sold several copies to my friends and schoolmates. This album was recorded on an 8-track hard disk recorder with only a couple of low budget mics and me not really knowing, how to handle all this. 😅 But this production and those 10 songs were sort of a starting point for me to keep writing and recording my own music ever since.
20 years later I found that multitrack machine in the attic and while checking it's functionality I thought it might be fun to re-record one of those old tunes again on that same machine. Just for testing purposes. But this was so much fun and so I started to do new interpretations of all of the songs! I recorded as simple as possible on those limited 8 tracks and the outcome: 2 EPs released in 2018 and 2020 titled "Time Revisited, Part 1" and "Part 2" with new interpretation of all 10 songs – re-imagined and re-recorded.
This process reminded me of how creative and pure joy a recording process can be if I stop starring on a computer screen, clicking through countless plugins, dealing with technical problems and instead just record straight into a simple multitrack machine with no distraction. I never did any recordings on a computer/DAW since this project. I took it even further, I built myself a studio with just analog gear and analog workflow from production to mixing with an old console and and 8-track tape machine. I love it!
If you want to listen to my "Time Revisited" project, I combined both EPs together to one album and published it as Podcast 2.0. You will find this one on Fountain under https://fountain.fm/album/WVDL1LMN9AZCZyD7RMC0 or https://v4vmusic.com/?album=cmltgm2z65hfiod0i9a4frq0z
My personal favorites are "Coming Home" and "Goodbye '99". Enjoy!
PS: All songs were produced in A = 432hz.
