Zebra Mann
Electro Symphonic Craniatal Orgasmic Response Time
Taking Blind Mime's 'track_altair' and speeding it up 10,000 percent made it sound eerily like my favorite Camille Saint-Saen's piece, The Aquarium. After that, adding bits of Blind Mime's loops was easy, and more importantly, fun. This mix is the final result. It was fish this time, perhaps it will be birds next. As always, this piece is ear goggle friendly. Credits: Blind Mime Open Loops. Genre: Experimental. -->please comment (1).

Zebra Mann
Spiderz Chapter Four - All You Need
Of the thousands of spiderlings that hatch from every egg sac, only a few dozen survive to adulthood. As Zetta scurries off on her own, she soon discovers that there are two things a spiderling needs to survive in the big wide world. Food and shelter. She is fortunate to find both right away.

Zebra Mann
Brave New World Remix - Eclipse
After to listening to my Brave New World Series several times at work on CD, I figured out that one of the songs needed to be a bit longer. So after I got home tonight, I made it longer. Then I decided it needed a few more effects. So I added a few more effects. After giving it some thought, I realized that maybe some more reverb might be cool. So I added more reverb. Then I guessed that adding something new to the mix wouldn't hurt, so I added something new. That's me, I just can't leave well enough alone. Wear your ear goggles for the journey, it'll be worth it.

Buzzsaw & The Shavings
Whilst Attaining to a Bottle of La Tâche
The scarcest, most expensive - and frequently the best - wine in the world ... If you can lay your hands on a case - and that is a big 'if' - you would have to pay £5,000 or more for a young vintage, double or treble for a wine in its prime. As it appears that I only appear as though I have money, centuries must pass as I amass the sums and, combating tedium, I have the liberty to engage in mixery. This labours to express patience and woo it from the listener. Credits: Blind Mime Open Loops Mix. Genre: Germcore. -->please comment (4).

Zebra Mann
Spiderz Chapter Three - Dispersal
The spiderlings have begun to leave the nest. They run off, seemingly at random and in every direction. And Zetta heads out into the wide world, to discover for herself the great unknown. Wear your ear goggles, but don't close your eyes if you are arachnaphobic. You have been warned! Credits: Created with Loops from Mental Anguish, Omnitechnomatrix, and bf baker. Genre: Abstract Ambient. -->please comment (1).

Spiderz Chapter Two - Emergence
When the egg sac opens, a thousand spiders come streaming out. Definitely not a sight for someone that is severely arachnaphobic.

Buzzsaw & The Shavings
A Broken Thread Dangling from a Broken Sun
At long the thread of an inspiration is joined to intentions upon the keyboard early one morning, yet a momentary mis-perception of the phenomena of nature and the sky intrudes upon a paragraph, tumbling the gerunds and trembling the propositions until more than a sliver and a crescent of recognition comes to call. At last our stalwart writer continues. Credits: Includes Cystem Open Loops and Vocal loops by Zebra Mann. Genre: Darkwave. -->please comment (2).

Spiderz Chapter One - The Egg Sac
These chapters are for Zetta, my Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula. In honor of all invertebrates; and arachnids in particular, I've decided to see what sort of eight legged mixery I can create. This mix, the first of what I can only hope will be many more, describes the beginnings of all spiders, the humble egg sac, carefully protected by the skillfully lain web of the preceeding generation. Zetta never knew her mother, yet her mother did the best she could for her offspring, just the same.

Brave New World - Chapter Five
The Keskan and the Screeee have learned how to live together in peaceful coexistence. Their lives are happy and full of joy, and the only sorrow they know is when their mortal lives come to the inevitable end, as all such mortal beings face. Humanity could learn a lesson or two from these two sentient races. Credits: David Fuglewicz Loops. Genre: Alien Audio. -->please comment (0).

first tapegerm composition

CATEGORY: blog

OK, I just posted my first composition using 4 tapegerm starter pack loops! Please take a listen to "Sea Monster" by Brutum Fulmen.

I have not completely figured out how to use this site, so my apologies if this is not the right place to post, etc. Feel free to let me know any tips about how things are done here! Now I need to figure out how to become a "registered" artist and find the rest of the loops.

Thanks!

Too Much Creativity

CATEGORY: blog

I've got at least three things in mind for my next projects, and the Germanians will be able to hear them here first. First, I have found some written works of mine that should lend themselves nicely to a mixery project, much in the same vein as Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth. Second, I have decided to include Blind Mime as the next Germanian to add to my single artist experimentations, and third, well, let's leave the third one as a surprise.

first blog

CATEGORY: default

Good day Tape Germ! This is my first blog, I hope you enjoy my music, I sure enjoyed making it! I find that music is a kind of magic, with the musicians weaving spells through their intentions, turning them into sounds of emotion and pure feeling, stirring with-in people that deep primal urge, twanging upon the strings or our souls. It doesn't matter if you use an electric guitar or just use your mouth to beat box, the sounds we create in turn create the universe around us, like the proverbial butterfly beating its wings upon the drums of our souls!

Breaking the Mold a Bit

CATEGORY: default

I have a new baby in the house. One week ago, I picked up a Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula. She's a pretty little thing, and so in her honor, I am going to put together a mix that will hopefully describe how I feel about my newest pet, and to express with sound the lifestyle of eight-legged creatures. Could be a whole new genre, music for invertebrates!

I will be using various loops from several different artists, and will of course give credit where credit is due. As for the Brave New World series, I have one more chapter to put up, and then I will be looking for a new artist to dissect.

Mic recommendations?

CATEGORY: default

So I'm going to give rapping another try, actually wrote another verse the other night and it sounds great.

Recording is another issue. I have a ten dollar radio shack mic that just ain't cutting it. So... considering this is bedroom producer hobby here with vocals (instrumentals have to be professional but my vocals are NOT a priority) what kind of mic should I be looking or does anyone have some good recommends?

Remix of a remix of a mix, etc.

CATEGORY: default

I was listening to my remix of Null MCs' Empty at work tonight (I have to play music my co-worker doesn't know, or she sings along, and that's just annoying) and decided that I may have to remix it again. So back to the drawing board. I'll keep the original up, just because some people liked it. I am one of those types that is never quite satisfied. In a few days or weeks, I am going to probably delete my monster and zombie tracks, (the ones at the bottom of my page) but they will still be available for people to download until then. I need to make more room for the plethora of new mixes I will be posting soon.
