Nothing in this album was sequenced, no outboard effects were used.EVERYTHING is from the sega genesis audio out, recorded directlyinto a computer. some bits of silence and excess noise were cut out.using a sega genesis, if the cartridge is pulled out while thegame is playing and music is audible you will hear a tone.this tone can be looping, a portion of a song looping, or evena tone that seems to fade out to near silence.next, you must find a cartridge that works with the one you pulled.this is done purely by testing and seeing if they match.once the cartridge that works is inserted you will noticea drastic change in sound.anything from noise, to drum patterns, to full songs.these songs may contain elements from either cartridge or both.or they might sound completely new and distorted.we have experienced everything from volume increases,to distortions, to voice samples, piano sounds, horn sounds,ambient sounds, classic video game sounds.but nothing sounds like it did on the original cartridge.upon inserting the same game as you pull out, sometimesthe original song will continue to play as it would.sometimes the original song will be altered and you gainextra polyphony!
