Fred Cornog is East River Pipe, and we interviewed him years ago in Tape Op #1. Since then he hasn't changed hardly any of his recording gear, still happy to use his Tascam 388 1/4" 8-track in his home studio in NJ. And he doesn't need to change a thing, as his records are still great to listen to with well-written and unique songs, chiming guitars, melancholy vocals, and drum machines that somehow don't suck. Still one of the best examples of effective home recording.
