I present also some of my music in Youtube as Mikexception. Here  I am going to pass some my own recordings which never have got   video clips as  for Youtube . I  learn how to play myself and it is a pretty long history. In past  I recorded just to enjoy it later myself. Most of them created in quite far from home places like Greece, Egypt, China   where I had been  working for years for bread and butter. These are  simple PC digital recordings of analogue sound done in „one track” technology with sound cards – no MIDI files, no processing, no replacements, no adding. Live  performance  music and vocal at instant time.   So in some of them  you may find  a bit annoying intervals needed for in fly re-arrangement of instrument settings. Anyway because I found that I like them I’ll try to pass this joy one by one  to others. .   Note: Using „enough”  headphones is a must – with small PC speaker  it’s disaster . Instruments used by be in chronology order from 1972  :Acoustic Guitar, Harmony, Casio MT-52,  Acoustic piano,  Yamaha PSR 400, Technics PR 130 Casio WK1800, Casio CTK 900, Casio MZ-2000. Actually I also use CME hammer action 88 keys USB  keyboard connected to MZ-2000 with MIDI cable.
In 2014 I supplemented my key instruments with sound module  GEM WK-2 which I use controlled with MIDI cable by CME UF-8. As previous  everything  is recorded to HD in live analog technology.

Since I brought to operation my Tesla  reel tape recorders in 2016 followed by Uher in 2018 recordings are registered with magnetic tape technology.

Owned before instruments were

My first electronic instrument I purchased in second shop far from my country in Gulfport Missisipi USA. It was 1986 when I was merchant ship Electrician Officer . Since then my interests shifted from guitar to keys.

That MT 52 I sold in Poland in 1988

Next were Casio MT-210 purchased in Antwerp and sold in Peru in 1986

 

 

and Casio  MT 540 purchased in Chile – Arica 1988  – scrapped already

Then I purchased in Singapore in 1992  Yamaha PSR 400

Yamaha was sold in Poland in 1995

In 1994 in Dubai Arab Emirates for my daughter I purchased Technics PR170 which I played too -. In 2012  control system failed.

In 2002 decided to buy Casio WK – 1800 mentioned above.
