Late Night Report
In 1999 I decided to start recording again using the exciting new technologies that had become available, including midi and multitimbral synthesizers. This was the first “album” I recorded, around 1999. It was done entirely using a single synthesizer, the Alesis QS8, which I still use as my 88-key weighted-action keyboard. The QS8 was my first midi keyboard, and allowed these pieces to be my first midi recordings. All of the sounds were produced, and really, performed, all at once in real time, by the QS8 (it was a multitimbral synthesizer). This performance was recorded in real time (not rendered) by the little 8-bit stereo sound card that came with my 1996 Gateway Pentium 200 486 PC computer.
