lead berry research - pk2pk
===========

"pk2pk" is an expression from signal analysis meaning "peak to peak" as in the full swing of an analogue waveform.

This project came about with the acquisition of an old Tascam
22-4 quarter inch reel to reel recording deck. The concept
was to create a set of minimal tech noire tracks
using as a maximum 4 instruments.

That there were no computers involved, which at the time
was an humiliation, is now something to be proud
of. The complement of instruments consisted
of Roland CR-8000 and TR-606 drum
machines; both playing and
executing timing
triggers.

The bass lines and lead lines were hand played on variously
a Roland Jupiter-4, SH-101, SH-09, Sequential Circuits
Six-Trak, a PAIA Fatman and a Korg Poly-6. The
tape stock was Ampex 456 and this accounts
for the hearty sound and the
tape hiss.

The effects array consisted of Boss DSD-2 delay,
PH-2 phaser and Ensoniq DP4.
