Make Noise Records is proud to announce our first installment of the Shared System Series! It is available for purchase and TRASH_AUDIO is the only place you can purchase it from online for the time being. Please visit the Make Noise Records webpage for more information.
The Shared System Series compiles the separate recordings of several artists utilizing the same electronic musical instrument, the Shared System. At times it feels as though electronic music has become an overly automated form driven by simplified genre specific apps and software. What happens when the signal path is not pre-defined or optimized for a popular result? The Shared System is a modular synthesizer developed by Make Noise. It has no pre-determined signal path, and is not designed for any particular musical destination. In limiting the artists to this one instrument, we hope the Shared System Series of records will purely illustrate the intentions of the artists.
Mastered for vinyl by Audible Oddities, etched into high quality master lacquers made by SAE Mastering, and shipped to URP for pressing. The result is a high fidelity 7″ record. Like the Shared System instrument, the sleeves for these records are a combination of digital and analog technology. They are designed using computer software and printed using a hand-cranked letterpress called the Vandercook 4.
Richard Devine: Creature I & II – $8
7″ Clear Vinyl, Limited to 500, Letterpress Cover.
Includes downloads to alternate takes & stickers.

Releasing stems or having remixes does not really appeal to me but let’s see what happens. All automation and time based plug-ins on the buses have been removed, and the files have been normalized. Files are 16 bit, 48kHz, .AIF format. Feel free to send whatever you make with it to trashaudio@gmail.com. Go crazy.
