A guy who enjoys bands I enjoy, whose posts / web pages showed personality traits I value, and has for decades built up a yet to become famous repertoire on his own I wouldn't miss any substantial opportunity to spread links and words to / on his creations ! WytchCrypt provided the first trigger. Other opportunities followed but now today is very special because it's
What on earth could have ever happened precisely back on July 28th of 1987 ? Here's Dennis' answer.
By July 1987 I had released 6 albums where I played all the instruments myself under other band names but they were all very specific projects with specific recording technology and instruments that weren't the highest quality. They weren't necessarily great albums, but were all important learning experiences where I was developing my skills as a musician, songwriter/lyricist and producer. By the summer of 1987 I'd graduated from college and gotten my 1st job as a computer programmer, had completely retooled my home studio to be MIDI integrated, brought in a group of high quality instruments and a new 4 track recording desk, and soundproofed the studio. It was time for a new start so decided it was time for a new band name and a new concept.
I'd narrowed the names down to about 5 finalists, and the morning of 7/28/87 I was sitting at work and made the final decision that my new band would be called Mutiny in Jonestown. Little did I know I'd still be releasing MIJ albums 30 years later LOL
Little did we know either !! There's so much related to those words: "MIDI integrated home studio". What we see is only a tiny part of all that goes in and around those unlimited sources of joy that are instrum and tech dens, lairs... Crypts...
Long life to you and your projects Dennis ! After your telling about recording several times very long pieces layer after layer on your own, I wonder what could stop the amazing creative process when the Muses are around your place anyway !
