Taperobane

taperobane is a project of mine that’s a bit out of the ordinary, at least for whatever counts as ordinary at fez heavy industries. This tape is 60 minutes of processed field recordings that were captured in Sri Lanka, and is overdubbed with improvised trombone and synth work. the intention of this tape is to be something you can put on to take an audio journey to somewhere far off, quiet music, background noise. there’s some stereo trickery to try and add some depth to the sounds to give an enveloping feel.

The DnB Tape

This tape is a 45 minute improvised DnB set, all the synth parts are from a PureData patch I built for for a DnB show I did at the international bar just before new years eve in 2023, mostly to see if it could be done: generative DnB in puredata with improvised trombone. I tried to lean into the whole “PlayStation 2 drum and bass” thing with this.
