A BRIEF HISTORY
There once was
a time when there was no such thing as ShuttleBuG records.
It was a time when I used to screw around with a fostex 4-track tape
recorder. I was pretty much your average stoner, doing dope all day and
playing a lot of guitar.
Every now and then I mixed my most interresting recordings down to a
master-tape, made copies of it and tried to sell these. ShuttleBuG was the
pseudonym I used for these horrible tapes.
Once I sobered up a little and got myself a job, I suddenly found myself
capable of buying some decent equipment.
I immediatly knew I was going to do a lot of different musical
styles and use several pseudonyms, so I decided to label all of my
CD's with "ShuttleBuG records".
I know that this is a totally irrelevant and borring story, and that's why
I hid it so well on this site. So that it would only be reached by
visitors who are extremely bored and accidently clicked their way to this
page.
I have also put the original tape-covers on this page, basically to add
some color.

"Digital Disco Drug Thing" My
first recording experience. I immediately went for a concept-tape. It had
something to do with neuro-transmitters, chemical drugs and the general
fakeness of life. |

 |
"Decay,
All The Way" A premature
version of AudioC0ke.
This was the first time I recorded distorted guitar-riffs to a programmed
beat. |

"What
the ...?" This one felt like
the beginning of a new era.
But it was infact a 90 minute, mind-numbing chaos about desperation &
boredom.
The title was based on the facial expression of a friend when I introduced
him to "my new sound". |

"Rain
In The Galaxy" The
AudioC0ke-song "Rain in the Galaxy" (on the album "Green Sun") is
a rearranged version of a song that was on this tape.
I also remember doing a lot of attempts to record better versions of some
of these songs while I was working on "DUCK".
"Billy-Goat" was the only listenable track that came out of it. |

"Reshaped
on Planet Earth" This one
actually never got finished. I recorded millions of tracks for it, but
never got around to do a decent mixdown.
However, the song "Leaving" on the AudioC0ke-record "Lost In Infinity", is
one of the tracks that would've been on this tape. I used the original
recordings, but ran them through a whole lot of effects and
added a couple of guitar-overdubs, to make it sound more "proffessional". |
