Fuck My Account
A little noisy jam, with Raquel Meyers on the visualz. Especially happy with how I managed to make the C64 sound like someone who can't play the flute.
Fax! Fax! Copenhagen!
Let's fax shit up! On December 9th at Demoteket in Copenhagen I'll make sounds for Jacob Sikker Remin's fax installation with fax visuals by Raquel Meyers (who also designed the flyer). Did I meantion fax?
Fax! Really happy to finally do something with the fax. Been talking about making a fax-based magazine for years. If anyone out there has a fax, let me know because I want to fax more. Fax! FAAX.
2SLEEP1
2SLEEP1 is a playlist of audiovisual performances in text mode, designed to make you fall asleep. The idea is to show the music being composed in real-time (Exedub) along with typewriter-style animations (e.g. Sjöman).
Both the music interface and the graphics are built up from text symbols. This means that the (graphical) objects can work together with the (musical) instructions, on a visual level. Vank is a first rough test of this and Matsamöt makes a similar thing, without the improvisation. Finally, Echidna is a silent movie with semi-live music.
Made by Raquel Meyers and me, mostly using c-64 and Amiga. The videos are early explorations of new methods, so it's rather brutal at times. Greetz to Poison (rip) and Toplap!
Goto80: Summer of Seven 5/7 (7″/MP3 Pingipung)
A: Sombanova
B: Mamasita
10 years ago I released my first 7", so this is the right time for another one. A skweee-bossanova that goes drum-machine Squarepusher (?) and a romantic dub-pop song with Acid Terrorist vocals. Available as 7" (only 200 copies) but also as MP3 in all those iTunes-Beatport kind of places. More details at Pingipung's page.
You can listen to the B-side's dirty 6581 action here. The vocals were improvised by Acid Terrorist, while I was dubbing away with an SX-64 and Wersiboard with a hacked Defmon. The A-side is made with more modern hardware, but uses a 16 millisecond loop for all the instruments except the drums.
If you like the B-side, you'll like the next audiovisual text mode sleep release that I'm making with Raquel Meyers. Stay hungry! And also: check out the rest of Pingipung's Summer of Seven series. Almost completely chip-free, yeeess!
Update. Today (4 june, 2012) I realised that the melody of Sombanova is from Raymond Scott's Portonofino 2. Very strange experience. Sometimes melodies come from cosmos and dreams, sometimes from hard work, and sometimes from other songs. Afaik, this is the first time I do this.
Cheap and Fat Jamming!
Two years ago I participated in a jam with the Cheap, Fat and Open synthesizer/sequencer at a robot festival i Denmark. The CFO-project is somewhere inbetween open source, chipmusic and interface-hacking. I got a chance to build one at MFRU in Slovenia last year, and be part of a jam again. Not sure if it was recorded or not, though. But it was great to import small tracker patterns into the CFO, and hopefully I will buy the cable I need and start to make more stuff with it at some point.
But yeah, thought I'd link to the old jam since I forgot to do that before. Bear in mind that these jams are experiments. We were mostly trying to learn. Except for the sax-player - he knew what he was up to! CFO jam at Robo Days 2009.
