Don Campau – Observer Effect (Digital, 2021)
ARTIST/LABEL NOTES: New instrumental offering from Northern California home recording musician, Don Campau. No songs, no rock, no raging lead guitar. Although some beats , this is mainly a quieter album with keyboards and a kitchen sink, improvisational nature.Miniatures that are strung together. A tribute and hat tip to home tapers worldwide doing whatever they…
Daily Tapegerm Free Audio Seed 18 March 2025
The key is C Phrygian with a passing B note, with me playing S.K.Y. Keys Everything Right, Apple Percussion, Arturia Analog Lab V Multimodulpad. The percussion is finger played and a bit off, but I like to see where that kind of thing lands as it evolves into something. Sometimes the “mistakes” are what makes…

I’m playing this on three Kontakt instruments; a couple sounds from Native Instruments Stacks play series and something from a Venus Theory instrument. I would say the key is G Phrygian Dominant (G – A# – B – C – D – D#(Eb) – F – G).
Chris Sizemore – Free Sound
GAJOOB Review by Bryan Baker, 7/17/1994: Sizemore self-financed the making of a thousand copies of this tape of found sound collage pieces, each with a sort of theme and has been handing them out to anyone who’ll listen. Limited edition, full-color printed cover conveys an anti-media message and much of the tape inside expounds on…
