Episode Synopsis

Martin C Martin is from my first full-length album on Suction Records in 1999 called "Fear Not The Snow And Other Lo-Fiing Objects". The "snow" refers to background noise/hiss/crap recording quality which also informs the name "Lowfish" (meaning Lo-Fi-ish). The name of the track comes from a dude I met playing in New York one time named - good guess - Martin C Martin. I had the poor guy show me his driver's license to prove it. This track reminded me of him.
No idea what we talked about but it stuck with me.

This track is all Roland Jupiter-6, 808 and Roland s-750 sampler. The Jupiter-6 is used in split-mode and does about 65% of the song - everything was recorded in real-time/one pass to tape and recorded later to DAT and sequenced by an Alesis MMT-8.
