Formerly "Jordan Sunlight", but I don't music as that anymore and I'm also a woman. Therefore - a person named Rose!
I have been almost exclusively recording on #4_track since March of last year, and this is not likely to change! Expect cool #lofi #indiepop goodness. Some of the assorted instruments I own include the BOSS DR-110, the Mattel Synsonics (both drum machines), the Casio SA-35, the V-Tech Rhythmic 2 (both tiny keyboards), a plastic bugle, an accordion, and assorted percussion and guitars likely to permeate my recordings.
Influences include: They Might Be Giants, JoCo, the Apples in Stereo, Ween, Logan Whitehurst & the Junior Science Club, my friend Marc with a C, Dogbowl, of Montreal, the Frogs, the Beach Boys, sElf, Guided by Voices, Cardiacs, the Beatles, Jeffrey Lewis, the Residents, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Rush, the Unicorns, and so many other artists that I've genuinely lost count.
Forgive the self-shilling, but I also have a CD available by way of (^_^) Records in Alabama, and it would mean a lot to me if you listened to it - it's six songs about my identity, my brain, and animals, and it's pretty darn cool. https://happyfacerecords.bandcamp.com/album/august-demo

I'm all for digging deep into tape trivialities! I don't know the Porta07, but it looks a good'un. I love the process, and I really like being forced to do things within constraints, even if those constraints seem unhelpful! I just had mine serviced, one for the first time since I bought it second-hand about 30 years ago, and they sound so, so good now. I wish I'd done it years ago!
There are double-speed only people in the 4-track challenge, until last year I was double-speed only, and there were enough people around to make something work. Jump in! I can't help with you mailing issues though - I have no idea how that stuff works in the US!

I'm so glad I clocked Beck, old Beck is gold Beck haha. Mellow Gold has such good vibes and I love the weird mix of tracks on it. Good luck with FAWM this year!

Ah cool! I'm also into the nostalgia of analog stuff

I was always like "why is there no RoviaMon" as a joke when I lived in the 91010 and 91016 twenty years ago
Claremont/Montclair - clever? Or lazy? Let the discussion begin!

Thanks for your kind words! I’m a big analog recording fan. Part of the challenge is just making and keeping everything working. Sometimes recording a simple song is a triumph if you’ve been troubleshooting gear for hours! Like @thedutchwidows I was shocked how good a 4track cassette can sound, especially with a nice front-end (Mic-preamp-compressor).
