So I was digging through my archives today, when I came across a collection of tracks consisting entirely of sample-pack arrangements assembled in Sonic Foundry Acid Express (those were the days…), "written" when I was 15 years of age, during time spent off sick. It's godawful, but I was thinking of releasing this collection on here as a kind of artefact of my dubious musical history. Then iivix said on Facebook that if we all went through our archives and pulled out our earliest recordings it might make for an interesting compilation. And he's right.
So your mission is to trawl your hard drives, CD-Rs and floppy discs for the earliest examples of music you've ever recorded. Not "the earliest stuff under your current name," but the absolute earliest stuff. Mine was all recorded directly to 192kbps MP3, and I'm sure the rest of you probably had similar disregard for audio fidelity back then, so there's no bitrate or format issues for this one. Put it here, send links to lee.ashcroft at hotmail.co.uk, whatever. When there's enough I'll unleash them. Oh, and if you remember, include the creation date with it too.
(Title might change.)
