about

Spectronica is a 1-bit ZX Beeper album written for and recorded from vintage and modern ZX Spectrum hardware.

Harnessing the rich harmonics of 1-bit lo-fi and exploring synth, digital, speech synthesis, triangle waves, phaser and minimalistic square wave beeps.

No dedicated sound chip was used to produce the basic tracks just clever, modern 1-bit sound engines developed by ZX Spectrum coder/musicians Shiru and Irrlicht Project.

Tracks 2,4 & 13 have Vocoder speech overdubbued, performed and recorded by me.

Tracks 1,2,4-8,10-14 recorded from 48K Rubber keyed ZX Spectrum.
Track 3 recorded from a 128K+2A ZX Spectrum.
Track 9 recorded from a ZX Spectrum Vega+
Track 15 recorded from a ZX Spectrum OMNI 128K HQ.

Limited edition cassette was produced by Cow Tongue Taco Records
