Devin Townsend - Old Cassette Riff Notebook

“So I’ve always jotted down ideas for records, and in my life I’ve had 3 or 4 recorders. 2 analog, 2 digital. This is the second analog one…I would basically keep 1 cassette in it and just keep recording over and over it, so theres bits of SYL, Ziltoid, Ki, Synchestra etc in any given chunk. I just hit play here for the most part, and this is what was on it. After years of re-recording, it just turns into this bleary mess, but really its just supposed to be a portable memory, so it was fine. 

Usually I’ll record ideas anywhere, in a bus or restroom or anything really… I have older tapes kicking around I found recently as well…haven’t listened to those yet though.

Yup. Thrilling I’m sure… =)
