autoceremony | Retiring a Human by Mistake (1996)

One of my earliest finished experimental audio recordings in 1996 completely using a computer -- an AMD 5x86 133Mhz with 20Mb of RAM, Windows 95 PC. The software? Soundforge 3.0. Bouncing two tracks at a time. My soundcard: A Yamaha Waveforce 192XG, or was it a Creative SoundBlaster 16. I can't remember. What I do remember was using the digital optical out of the soundcard connected to a portable Pioneer MiniDisc PMD-R1 recorder, which I still have today and still working, to bounce some of the tracks and also use it as a "mastering" device. Yeah, until i realized ATRAC was just Sony's version of MP3. Anyway, this was ten years before my alter-ego autoceremony. Mood was deliberately Joy Division, bad influence from Skinny Puppy, sci-fi was obviously Blade Runner, plus primitive computer technology at its best. LISTEN WITH HEAD/EARPHONES. This is a YouTube exclusive! Thanks for watching. #autoceremony​ ​ #SLoFi #JingGarcia #SoundArt #LoFi
