RECHARGEABLE Vol.2 tape release - 100 handmade cassettes with digital download
The first year of Battery Powered Music history has been written in magnetic signatures across 100 cassette tapes and is available here as a download only, or 1 of 100 handmade limited edition cassettes with the digital album included. The cream of the kraut of live recordings of the BPM Ensemble's early experiments and most recent adventures in composition and improvisation. We played in parking lots, drum studios, a historical theater, a flooding room, a wedding, a camper, a street party and a residency at Backspace Cafe in Portland, OR. This howling broiling mass of handheld techno is a harrowing anthem of focus and fun.
The "songs" and grooves in these tracks are written on a Nintendo DS / GBA running nanoloop, a phone running nanoloop, Beaterator on the Sony PSP. The rest of the mix is a mash of guitar pedals Korg handhelds, toys and battery powered instruments.
Thanks for all the interest and encouragement this last year. We are excited to bring you the second cassette of the ReChargeable series and a sweet chunk of live electronics for you to download. ReChargeable Vol. 3 is hot on the heels of this release with a guest producer and technician in the mix!
