YESTERYEAR 2 by Machado Mijiga × Cat Boy Sound

This is a double release with Cat Boy Sound AKA Haku Records AKA Sapphires Garden AKA Brandon Harris.

Brandon released the different versions of these tracks as multiple releases under his various aliases over the past few months, but I'm putting my mixes/masters in one place as an mixtape today.

These tracks were recorded in 2-4 hour livestreams on Brandon's Discord server over the course of a year (4/2/24-4/6/25) at Brandon's studio (Haku Records) and on my laptop, in my studio (bedroom).

Some of these songs were made with the music dice that Brandon made a while back; each die had something different on it related to music (e.g., time signatures, chords, modes, etc), resulting in some meter and harmonic combination that Brandon had never played before.

This mixtape makes proper use of Brandon's iconic slide guitar sound, but also showcases his tasty bass playing. If it has strings, Brandon played it. I played pretty much everything else.

Go to Brandon's various pages to hear his mixes and arrangements of what I did, and enjoy my takes on these songs.

They all have different names too, by the way. I like naming tunes, and obviously had to make it a fun challenge to figure out which songs are different from each other.

Personnel:

Brandon Harris– guitar, bass guitar, tongue drum
Machado Mijiga– drums, piano, synths, sax (MIDI)

Recorded and Produced by Brandon Harris & Machado Mijiga
Mixed and Mastered by Machado Mijiga
