5512 is an album of minimal ambient techno headphone music.
5512 was created on May 5, 2012 at The Bunker in Iowa City by Mark Rushton using Ableton Live, an Akai MPK Mini, and recorded into a Zoom H1 while monitored using Grado headphones. A tiny amount of post-production was done on a PC using Sony Sound Forge. It was mixed using Sony Acid. Cover photo by Mark Rushton at Ellis Park, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The album is 8 tracks and just a touch over 91 minutes. The first track “5512 Mix” is a 45 minute and 30 second “megamix” of the 7 pieces that are later separated out in order of appearance with only minor fades.
