about

produced with a 1986 korg dw-8000 and a tapedeck.

there's 6 bonus tracks that you can get if you download the album (whether you pay or not). they were all recorded after the original session that spawned clouds, so they didn't fit enough to keep them on the main album. (not that they're bad.)

i never use daws or vsts and prefer my recordings relatively untouched (other than mixing and mastering so it doesn't sound like shit.)

this was my first album and it's much different than my current recordings, mainly because it was all one synth, it was before i integrated my korg poly-800 as a sequencer, and it was before i got my s-550 so i had no percussion (so it took a turn far, far away from synthpop.) i've included a few bonus tracks i never released on soundcloud that were made after clouds but were then forgotten.

if you pay anything for this, thank you so much. otherwise, still, thank you so much for just listening. i actually don't really expect any money out of this and that doesn't matter to me because i just love the idea of people listening to something i've made, and enjoying it. you guys are why i keep at it every day. thank you.

about

polistirex Washington

i only record with physical gear. it's a real pain in the ass. no daws or vsts are used.

everything's recorded in my "studio" that takes up half of the bedroom.

my main synths are a roland juno-60, jx-8p, korg poly-800 mkii, and a yamaha dx7.

i was previously named "juno beach" but every album made after "sleepwalking" uses the current moniker polistirex.

thank you for listening.
