Is this acid?
It sounds more like electropop.

It's good that you use more than only garageband.
What means 'boy'?
Is that a hardware-synth?

Nice song

I have a distinctly difficult time placing electronic music in a genre. It's all classed as "electronic" in my music archive. The only standard I have by way of measurement is AFX's series of Analord EP's, which he claims are a series of acid techno releases. Like I said, this is nearly a patent iteration of some of that stuff---all original work here, but clearly influenced or inspired, depending on how kind you want to be.

'Boy', n. meaning my particular corporeal manifestation as a male member of the human subspecies.

My turn to ask a question, why is it good I used more than "only garage band?" That's an interesting comment.

That synth is the "es m" from logic.

nuff sed.

stuff I did in the eighties with Kevlar from JOAN and my TR808 triggering my Sequential Circuits Pro-One Synth. Very Yaz. Nice work - you found a good groove and kept it simple.
Please explain AFX.

I was still soiling diapers through much of the early eighties.

Are the keys your primary instrument, Bud? Did/do you play live often? Are you a rockstar in disguise? Your public is dying to know.

AFX is the experimental moniker of the man named Richard D. James, a.k.a. Aphex Twin: added a song to the Pi soundtrack, released scads of different electronic tunes.

Thanks for the listen,

I didn't know there was now a third handle.
To answer your question - my main instrument is guitar. In the eighties I had a 4 track setup and ran with the TR*)* drum machine and the Pro one synth along with my 63 Mustang and Ibanez bass. That was my basic deal. Kevlar and I used to get together every Sunday and record a new song. This went on for almost two years. Other people came through as well - but mostly it was Kevin and Kevin (aka Bud). Cult of the Body - which is posted on my page is the first thing we did together at my place.
No, I'm not a rock star. I played at CBGB's, the Mudd Club etc. - but then so did a lot of people.

has a whole bucket full of aliases---Caustic Window, Polygon Window, The Dice Man, etc?---but I've only listened to music from Aphex and AFX.

That's a pretty damn cool music career, no matter how you cut it.

I have a portfolio of blotter pages somewhere from a show
that was put up at a gallery in NYC in the late Eighties. Igotta find it.

Do people really frame these sheets? This is a culture I've never encountered before, though not too different from designer guitar picks in a way.

Your quite welcome for the surreptitious tip.

looks suspiciously "after the fact". Yes some people have framed sheets as art. The show I went to had examples of some of the brands that were prevalent in the 60's - 70's. Word had it that some were dosed - but most were test sheets. It wasn't that common for an overall image to be done - like the Hendrix - it was usually a small logo type thing. Friends of mine made sheets that showed three suns rising from behind a cloud. Triple Sunrise - a take on Sunshine - one of the first "marketed brands" of acid.

Some remix ping pong could be fun.
