Amateur Intelligence by Acef Stripe
An exploration of my love for Kraftwerk and early 90s techno as I experienced it in D.C. The title was a playful poke at our beloved Spotify explaining to us that we are amateurs given our unprofitable status. The sketch was done by Dad most likely in the early 80s. I hope he is smiling at our fun collaboration. ❤️
If you are wondering about the sounds, its most likely a Moog Subharmonicon, Arturia MiniFreak, Yamaha Reface DX, or the Arturia Drumbrute Impact.
As always, much thanks to my wife Deborah Maguire who allows me the creative space to make these releases. And to the Pro Synth Network community who has been a massive support to me.
