Beacon - Against The Clock

like the duality of work going on here with one doing the beats and the other initially playing the arp and later adding the live automation

not so keen on the layering bleeps from teh elektron initialy but like how it morphed into the bass noises

:W:

FWIW, Beacon's "The Ways We Separate" LP is one of the most massively underrated, perfect albums of the last few years IMO. Not a bad song on it - such a vibe. Great for rainy nights indoors with a lady friend.

That was rad, that arp got me zoned out in a good way.

Looks like a really fun way to work.

Haha, my wife had seized my right arm last night, tried to type out one last message with my left hand in the darkness.

Yeah, Prophet 08. Serious want. Serious.

Mixer first, so I can fully use all this gear I've got.

Then... then prophet? Or quality monitors. DAMN!!!!!!!!!

Really want that Prophet. Someone tell me the street price. Maybe you'll dissuade me. Please.

Very nice. These guys didn't seem in too much of a hurry, just getting to jamming and taking time to communicate about what's going on. Love the flow they had going.

Always keep an eye on garage sales and shit. Ever since I scored my Juno 60 for a fraction of blue book that way, I've compulsively slowed down driving past yard/estate/etc type sales - it's paid off for others I know too (a 60's Fender Champ amp for instance.)

People - especially seniors and squares - just dun kno what the shit's about or worth.

You d'own have tell me. Straight rubbernecker here. Since the g'damn internet though...

I've honestly never really scored anything... one time found whatchamacall those things, an old recorder that recorded to wax cylinders. Escaping me right now.

But now that I'm moving to a distant land, and perhaps a less sophisticated land, and strangely, a highly musical land*, maybe I'll find the odd derelict polysynth.

*Honestly, looking at real estate, I've NEVER seen so many pianos in peoples houses. Ratio is about 1:2.
