Recordings

Towerlig recordings comprises of official releases as well as mp3 only work.
The recordings intended for release in conventional format are high quality, state of the art recordings, properly mastered and packaged.
The home recordings are however done on low budget, and intended for mp3 listening only. Poor sound quality can be partially obscured with ‘thin’ mp3’s.

Recordings of 'historical' value varies from studio work to tape deck or 4 track, mostly fooling around demo's.

The home recordings are really pre-production sketches, some of which will receive real recording status, most won’t.
Single songs appears under general headers, and others are bunched together like ordinary albums, or collections.

Towerlig includes various categories of releases in its catalog.
Only official releases will be given a catalog number.

tower mp3 - high quality recordings only available as mp3’s
towerlig CD - official, pressed CD releases
tower cdr - any of the above on home written CD’s

All recordings can be compiled and written on CD on request. Please contact Johann in this regard.

"If you can hear it, you can hear it"
The story of hi-fi and modern recordings, and towerlig lo-fi.

High fidelity sound (Hi-Fi) was all the rage when hi-fi become part of every living room in (our western world anyway) during the 1960’s.
Glorious stereo sound filled our ears ever since. Then came the CD age and digital recording. Recording equipment became more compact and affordable, much like tape deck/4 track recording was
popular during the 60’s and 70’s. Yet the commercial world was always dominated by unaffordable ‘state of the art’ recording and playback, and probably always will be. Fortunately the great independents always have a place in the bigger scheme of things …Lo-Fi stuff done on home systems became popular again in the 1990’s and music in this format is spreading all around the globe, courtesy of the internet phenomena. Music does not always need to have huge and expensive productions to sound good. Real people are recording music at home on their personal computers, making it available sharing it as mp3 files. I am working from my 3rd world economy, i.e. less than Lo-Fi, on an ancient Hi- Fi system, and with sparse computer knowledge and stuff pirated off the internet that I am not entirely shure how it works. No-Fi. But better than hearing nothing. I try to worry less about the quality of what you hear and rather focus on hearing it in the first place.
If you can hear it, you can hear it.
