Length : 2'45"
MP3 Sample Rate : 160 kbps

T.I.M. - I Wish

Length : 3'18"
MP3 Sample Rate : 112 kbps
Download file size : 2712k

This track was created using Hip Hop Ejay. It was my second attempt at using the program, which is easy to use. The 8 tracks do limit the ability to put tracks into stereo (needing two with an offset on one to get a stereo wide sound) and as all the samples are in the same key and follow the same chords, different tracks can sound the same.

T.I.M. - Unknown Bass

Length : 1'25"
MP3 Sample Rate : 128 kbps
Download file size : 1332k

This is an old track from 1987. The main chord sound is from a CZ101, which evolves the longer it is played. I think I had just bought a MicroVerb, so I was experimenting with lots of reverb. It's a fairly short piece, and I never extended it into a full track.

T.I.M. - Sphere Two

Length : 2'06"
MP3 Sample Rate : 128 kbps
Download file size : 1983k

This is the second in a trilogy of tracks created using Dance Ejay 2. You get twice as many tracks than Hip Hop Ejay, but I found that most of the songs you create sound the same, as they all follow the same chord sequence. Still, I did manage to get three different styles, and this is the second one.

T.I.M. - Fragment Away

Length : 3'45"
MP3 Sample Rate : 112 kbps
Download file size : 3084k

This is the third track created using Techno Ejay. I wanted to create a track where the bass sound is inbetween the bass drum, as with many techno tunes. This is the complete track, hence the large download size.

T.I.M. - Hip Guitar

Length : 2'30"
MP3 Sample Rate : 160 kbps
Download file size : 2941k

This track was created with Hip Hop Ejay, around the same time as "I Wish". It's made up of some hip guitar riffs and some scratching samples. It's a fairly short piece, so I left the quality at 160kbps rather than reducing it to decrease the file size.

T.I.M. - Gate Effect

Length : 4'39"
MP3 Sample Rate : 160 kbps
Download file size : 5494k

I had just found out about adding effects to midi files and I found an example which chopped the volume of a sustained sound, a bit like The Shamen's Move Any Mountain guitar part. I took this further with several sustained voice changes whilst applying the effect.

A cover of the Eurythmics track, this was recorded as part of demo for a voice I created for the Yamaha TX81Z Tone Generator. It was submitted and published in Electronic & Music Maker magazine around December 1988 I think, and won me a year's subscription.
