Signals with Shivasongster – April 28, 2011 – Back to the archives this week, where we explored tracks created using Acid Pro, the loop-based production tool. Though not used very much today in my compositions, Acid Pro was a lot of fun and I’ve found some neat pieces circa 1999 – ...
April 23, 2011 (Updated 4/24) – This weekend I went through some older material from the days when I used Acid… Acid Pro that is – a loop-based composition platform that was popular since the moment it hit the scene in 1998. More or less obsolete now – surpassed by ...
For show #6, we continue with some sort-of-electro tracks from Chaos Rise Up and Catch the Squirrel. From there we explored some very rough experiments, including some of the better elements from 2007’s Inlaw’s Attic session. Each year since 2006 I’ve brought a portable studio to my inlaw’s place during ...

The Alesis HR-16:B was my first piece of “modern” MIDI gear, keeping in mind that modern was circa 1992. I think I got this used at C&C Music in Hazleton (it was originally made in 1989). This unit could be used a number of ways: in real time, playing the ...
During the 80s, money was always tight. Acquiring musical gear was achieved one of three ways: hand-me downs, home made amps or effects that my dad built, or – occasionally – a budget piece of gear. Radio programs like Hearts of Space and Echoes inspired me to explore sound as ...
In the early 90s, I acquired a Korg ES-50 and a Rhodes piano for $50. Yes, fifty dollars. The Rhodes went into storage for a long time at my grandma’s house, and eventually had to be sold. It was just too large, and needed to0 much work. The ES-50, however, ...
Signals with Shivasongster – March 3, 2011 – This week we got through the last bit of electro items from the Fostex years, and moved on a couple of the more atmospheric tracks from my second album, Cadillacs & Tarantulas. Then on to some music from Schrum/dePrisco ...
