DUBCRT coming soon
On Sunday my next cassette, 0407, will be released on Data Airlines. Phwah, cassettes are so mainstream I hear you say. Well, then I’ve got something for you (soon) – a C64-cartridge by the name of DUBCRT. It has music, generative PETSCII-graphics, LEDs, and hidden parts presented in a mysteriously interactive mega interface. Made by me, iLKke and 4mat, and organized by DataDoor.
More about this later. For now, let’s focus on cassettes!
New Remix Out
I remixed Misty Mystic by Paladin Shield for their new cassette Road to Alchemy. Stream/buy on Bandcamp.
Maybe this style can be called Indie screw? It took just a few hours to do, and I’m quite satisfied with the hazy results. Smeary and spikey, crikey.
New Cassette Coming Up
I’m putting out a new cassette soon and one of the most exciting things about it is actually the art work, hehe. All the illustration and design was made on a typewriter by the new typewriter master, Lord Nikon.
So keep your eyes open for this one. Will be released by Data Airlines.
My Teletext Art on TV
In 2013 I sort of made a music program for teletext. Screens of it were shown at the International Teletext Art Festival (ITAF), and it is currently showing on the Museum of Teletext Art on the German TV-channel ARD.
10 of the Best Chiptune Tracks
And one of my songs is in there, hehe. This was posted a while ago on Thump, with a selection made by Dot.AY. And my C64 reggae/dub song Ajvar Relish is in there, released years ago on my CD-album Commodore Grooves.
Here’s a video for the song made by Entter using the cassette-based video camera PXL-2000!
BLEEPisode
One of my songs is in this episode of BLEEPisode, a radio show on PBS in Australia. It’s a nice (non-chippy) retrospect of 2015 with music you most likely haven’t heard, so check it out!
Sound of Surround

Mutantswing Advent Calendar
Hey, I contributed a song for Mutantswing’s Advent Calendar – a new mutated song every day until christmas eve. My song is a freaky “remix” of an old Amiga-montage of christmas songs that I put out in the demoscene years ago, that you probably haven’t heard.
Julglapp 3 on Saundclaud will get you into the holiday spirit!
Live at Festilab in Avignon
I’m performing in Avignon, France on 18 december. It’s the final party of an exhibition with lots of media archeology, games, glitch and other things by eg FAT Lab, Gijs Gieskes, Eduardo Kac and RYBN. Running now and during next week and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
The party on the 18th will also have the fantastic cassette performer Tapetronic, the glitch veterans Botburg, aswell as the monstrous Extra Tourist. Visuals by the highly relevant Windows 93.
And one of the organizers behind this is the Freesson collective, who once helped me to make that Micro Colorado silly cowboy thing.
Reasonably Sound Radio Show
The 30th episode of Reasonably Sound has a special on chipmusic, and opens with an Amiga-song I made when I was still a teenager. It might be a bit heavy on the nostalgia and the limitations, but it’s apparently a good listen. I haven’t listened to it yet because I’m on a month-long diet from sound.
