Eric Yorke Recorded at
Scrape HQ, Spring 1994 Artwork by Ryan Lupien
Production: What production? The first album of Scrape
was best described by Todd Zachritz as a very primitve Dive. The cassette was
originally copied onto off the shelf cassettes (about 15 of these were made).
Eventually, professional blank cassettes were used and approximately 20 were
copied at home as well. The actual recording was simply done to master metal
cassette with no overdubs (with the exception of No Way Out). Only 2 tracks
were actually sequenced (Dogfucker, and Damage), the rest were recorded live
(voice and all) to cassette.
There was no sampler in those early days and no computer. Equipment
list was as follows: Korg DW-8000 synth Boss BX-4 4 channel mixer Peavey bass
amp (for effects---cranked up to create a buzz on the voice) Teac cassette
recorder later in the sessions, I bought an Ensoniq ESQ-1 synth with a
sequencer! Artwork: The original artwork was created by Ryan Lupien. The cover
went through 2 distinct stages (the second included lyrics) but still very
minimal by any standards.
The entire
'corrode' release was originally intended to be the first and last release by
Scrape. Obviously this didn't happen. Cassettes were made and sent to various
underground music collectors and some fanzines. This introduced Scrape to the
tape trading underground. It also opened my eyes to the world of underground
artists (many of whom are now releasing cd's). |
