Live Recording: C-64 rumbatronica!
So I thought I'd start using my Soundcloud account. Here's a recording from a gig that I was supposed to do at WORM in Rotterdam, but flight delays & bla-bla, so, yeah .. it didn't really happen. It's slow Commodore 64 beats, re-arranged and remixed live in Defmon, with some sloppy delays and stuff added. Dub-smelling rumbatronica going towards entropical paradise. There's a lot of mistakes, since it's just a test. But they probably just serve as tasty ornaments.
Most of the songs are unreleased. The last song (Ponky) was released in Furtherfield's The Sound of Live Performance a while ago, but a very different performance of it. In this mix there's also Linkan and the new age ambient song can be found here.
(oh yeah, sorry about the bizarre design atm. We're re-decorating. Body! Wordpress hate! Acid!)
V/A: Explorations in Sound, Vol.4 – The Sound of Live Performance
12 Anders Carlsson - Go to 80 (Super Dub Edit)
"Furthernoise editor and curator Roger Mills, has assembled a voluminous compilation of artists works based on the serendipitous outcomes of live performance. This includes raw audio of tuning up, happy accidents, sound check experiments, improvisations, studio out takes, or any other means in which new source material was generated by performative chance."
My song is a live C64-performance with the song Ponky in the Defmon tracker, with added effects and some cut n' pasting afterwards. (Due to a happy accident, the song was renamed to Go to 80 for this compilation.) More info about the compilation here.
Live C64-music has been my main area for the past two years, and I'll hopefully release some of it later this year.
Hacknight Retrospect
A short part of the mega C64-jam is featured in this video about Hacknight, made by Northern Lights.
Defmon & Bits of Freedom
A re-destruction of the Dutch national anthem, meant to be performed at Hacking At Random 2009 for Bits of Freedom, the Dutch digital rights organization. Unfortunately I got sick and couldn't attend, but this is the video of the rehearsal. The software is Defmon, and you can't copy it. Wuao wuao wuao wuao wuuuaaaooo. Not so much improvisation in this one, except for the trashy solo at the end, but I'll post more of those things later on.
Datajam @ Hacknights
In 2006, I did an audiovisual DATAJAM in Gothenburg together with Dino, Yoki, Booger, Mortimer Twang and Optiroc. Live coding, music and graphics. Yesterday me, Frantic, Jucke and Dino made a similar thing at Hacknight #2 in Malmö. On this photo you can see five C-64s, a serato setup, midi drums, and a wersiboard. While me and Frantic improvised with defMON, he also used his drums and keyboard. Jucke scratched with C64-sounds and Dino drew his PETSCII live. Maximum data experience!
