about

"This is not a disclaimer, it's just a fact. These home recordings are imperfect and lean toward the primitive but they do truly represent the early incarnations of a poetic attempt at being a musician. This is an early overview of a "make believe ballroom', where it pre-tended what it was and made believe it was simultaneously happening in the real world. I do believe that whoever made these tracks was suffering from a slight case of pre-tension. So now when I listen, even I wonder who it was that actually created them."
Phil Demise Smith/DemEyes

All the songs in this compilation are home recordings made during the years 1980-2018 beginning with using a Fostex 250 4 track cassette recorder, Apple IIe computer, Passport Sequencing software, Sequential Circuits midi Drumtraks and Six-Trak midi/analog keyboard/sequencer, Casio CZ101 and 360 Systems Midi Bass. Then it continued with a Tascam 8 Track recorder, Roland S-1 sampler, Yamaha digital piano, PSR-85 keyboard and Digital Percussion DD50 drum machine.
