Song of EQ and Groove study for Andre

Song of EQ and Groove study for Andre by Stanley Jason Zappa

No story of meeting guys on Craigslist and buying second hand recording technology from the 90's is complete without mention of one Andre Cholmondele, as it was he who said "just get a VS880...you can find them cheap."

The next thing you know, I'm waiting in an insurance office for a young, deeply religious Russian lad to get the unit from his cubicle.  "We now have a 96 track fully automated recording environment at our church, so I don't use this all that much."

Perfect!

While you probably all know Andre from his relationship to the music of a certain trademarked moustache, you should also know him for his other musical forays.

On this humble track, there is a "beat" and there is an effort to use the EQ controls to some sort of effect or another.  Because I can only hear these songs through small plastic computer speakers and/or walkman headphones from before the Clinton era, I'm not sure if my EQ efforts were successful.  On the Tascam 2488, there is an element of visual EQ curve shaping, which is a bit beyond my grasp at present...it reminds me of math classes I didn't take. 

Andre, this track is for you.  Listeners, stay tuned for more of the Many Instalments of Me!
