Listen to "Far Away" on Spotify/Apple/Amazon: mdnt30.com/go/far-away

In this video (my first) I attempt to create an entire song from scratch using the Tascam 424 Portastudio, which is a 4-track tape recorder that uses regular cassette tapes. In the video I go into a little of the history of the device, walk through my planning and recording process (including doing a BOUNCE, a technique unique to tape), and finally I show the song.
