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.
LCP-releases
Another LCP has passed. A good one, as usual. I brought a C64 with what I thought was a broken SID-chip. I thought that I'd finally destroyed it despite the magical SID CONDOM that Mogwai built and gave to me 3 years ago. My idiot-trick was to take out the cartridge while the computer is on. But not even that killed the SID. The SID CONDOM is the shit (but Mogwai doesn't have time to build you one - haha pilutta dig).
My official releases were:
> Matsamöt - an ambient song with a beat. It was voted as one of the worst tunes, which can be a very good thing! It will be featured in the next release at Chipflip.
> In the name of the Sword - an epic text mode demo by Linde, Acid Terrorist and me. Sort of similar to the Acid Burger demo.
And some other things I liked:
> Rambo. A chronicle of.. - Twoflower's identical copy of the title-pic from the old Rambo-game. Although it's visually identical, the stored data is completely different, due to the way that the C64's stores pixels. It "is" not the same picture.
> 2011 - A press space odyssey - an unfinished demo with the strange progressive oldskool style that only Offence delivers.
> Fire - Joe's winning picture and it's well nice!

Acid Burger is the order of the day: an eatable acid project! This first menu was launched and sold out at Blip Festival Tokyo. Since then there were some research complications, but now it's available for the general public!
It seems to be a burger/mini-DVD/acid object with music by me, video by Raquel Meyers and some contributions from other people, like vocals by Notendo. 303/606/64/707/808 oh yeah.
All of this is yours for 10 euros + shipping. Get it at acidburger.com
T-Shirt?
Alright, so go on get yer Goto80 t-shirts, designed by Raquel Meyers. I still have a few L-sizes left, but for S/M/XL you'll have to go shopping at Plan9. They also sell Raquel's other designs, like this little vomit-beauty!
