Shooting The Moon, 26 Times 100 (disquiet0542) by Wishbook by Jimmy Lem

"Shooting The Moon, 26 Times 100" by Wishbook

I rubbed the oil from my eyes, turned my head and passed to my left. I withdrew and then reinserted the Atari 2600 cartridge.

Recorded & mixed - 11 Jan 2016, 15 Jul 2007 & 19 May 2022 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

Process notes -
Two recordings I made of sax were stretched & split between 26 tracks in Ableton Live to a length of 100 seconds.

Background -
In the early '80s, it was common among my small circle of friends to try to mess with both the Atari 2600 and 800 physically and logically, in an entirely random fashion - that's always been "hacking" to me. We also played Hearts frequently. Sometimes the most exciting thing about that was "Shooting the moon."

PS, I always sucked at math.
