| Dereck Higgins | Total Plays: 1387 of 5 songs --> tapegerm home |
| While playing bass has been my primary mode of known musical activity I have always had an interest in sound/noise and electronics. My first introduction to this world came when my older brother got Steve Reich's "Come Out" from the library. It just struck a deep nerve. I started doing tape collages with two cheap reel-to-reels and then moved to four-track cassette in the '80's. Currently like most folks I'm using my computer as the hydra-head for my work. My other band related work can be heard via my main website. |

: TRACK LISTING
Credits: Dereck Higgins - free loop sample pack - Hebephrenic loops
206 plays 03:17 Genre: Alien Audio Album: unreleased This is a piece from a project between C. Goff III and Dereck, as yet untitled. Loops from the free loop sample pack: Hebephrenic biotch loop. Credits: C. Goff III - various treated loops from vinyl, Dereck Higgins - synthesizer and mashed loops, free loop sample pack: Hebephrenic biotch loop
104 plays 02:10 Genre: Abstract Ambient Album: This is a track I created most likely in 2006. I tend to alter my samples to the point that I lose their original context. When I listen to this piece I can't place the origins. I added tapegerm elements after some minor modifications. Credits: Dereck Higgins - various modified samples forgotten, Mellow Jeremy Guest Artist - AmbientPadLoop2 (modified)
258 plays 02:41 Genre: Abstract Ambient Album: unreleased In order to immediately participate in Tapegerm I reached into my archive of works. This piece was released on a cd-r titled "Way Stasis" in 2006. I've added to it discreetly using some nice loops courtesy of Mental Anguish. Credits: Dereck - various mangled samples and modified mental anguish open loops
96 plays 02:34 Genre: Instrumental Album: unreleased The track was written and recorded in 2006 with a loop added from the Majestic twelve library. Everything was done on Emulator (I forget the model) except the added loop. The track is unfinished. I was intent on capturing the idea as it came. Credits: Dereck - Emulator, Majestic Twelve Guest Artist

Dave Fuglewicz listened to Snowed 2 on 09/23/07 17:10:22 and said: "I like this and your other two mixes as well. There's a nice balance to all your elements, very good production and execution." Mental Anguish listened to Had Thirsted updated on 09/23/07 07:45:48 and said: "Nice archive piece. A bit of symphonics coupled with some electro-accoustics that flow very well together for me. Wonderful loop modification also." C. Goff III listened to Snowed 2 on 09/22/07 09:35:12 and said: "Yes, the seasons are changing... Dereck has brought on the autumn with a gentle snow that washes the summer away with a variety of cooling sonics, carved with the skill of an abstract ice sculptor. If this first piece is any indication of whats to come in the Tapegerm future from Mr. Higgins, I can't wait till tomorrow." Mental Anguish listened to Snowed 2 on 09/22/07 07:05:55 and said: "Awesome soundscape pouring out of my ear goggles & slipping into my ears. Excellent work! Welcome to Tapegerm."
