Device And Impulse – 10 & Loathing

New track. This is a collaboration between myself and Joel Dimarzo. This is the first thing both of us have created with each other and it’s experimental as hell. All the sounds from this song are taken from a very circuit bent Casio PT-10 and as you’ll be able to tell from the song, very very very processed. Available in 320  as well as streaming on www.soundcloud.com

Thanks for listening people Much love.

How To Make A Tune on a Cheap Budget

Had to do a repost of this. This vid is from xlr8r and is easily the coolest way that I’ve seen to beat the whole budget crisis and still be creative. Here Jel and Odd Nosdam make a tune from samples for under 40 bucks in 1 afternoon. Nice.

Starting A Band & New Goodies

I’ve been a little gone as of late. Working a lot. It’s hard to find the time to keep up with posting and things like that. Actually it’s not that hard to post. It’s just time consuming to upload content all of the time.

But back to the point. Last night I jammed out with some locals for the first time and I had a blast. Going for a Wu-Tang meets Suzanne Vega kind of thing (not really but not far off) It’s such a relief having some other people to share the burden of making music with that it just makes the whole experience fun. We’ll be posting some stuff from us once we (meaning I) have the time to work on some music together again.

Some selected gear from last night include a Roland SH-2, Roland 606, Ensoniq EPS, 2 MicroKorgs, Korg Electribe S, and spatterings of Software.

Other than that I want to introduce you to the newest friends in my audio arsenal.

The long awaited update to BigSeq1. It’s a great tool for me. I couldn’t be more happy with it and it was a bargin at 10 bucks to upgrade from BigSeq1. Takes anything and makes it interesting.

as well as…..

Sonic Charge’s Synplant! Seriously. This guy with change the way you approach software synths. It’s so easy to push this thing into warped Radiophonic territory and the twisted sounds you can make with this guy are to die for.

Thats all for today. I gotta get to work.

Ego Killer TV Episode 3

Yah so I’ve been pretty lazy as of late not working and watching Flight Of The Conchords (which might be spelled wrong) and Califoniacation. Blah.

Either way it’s perfect time to show some love to my favorite people in Jacksonville like ever. Ego Killer TV Episode 3 is online, and well…. has been for a while I’ve just been too forgetful to post it up here. Either way, like usual, The Ego Killer fiends rock it and it’s easily the most interesting thing that I know of coming out of Jacksonville.

More More More.

Video From Jesse Rose & Kilowatts

At least I think it’s Kilowatts.

Either way I’m in Virginia right now visiting the folks but that dosn’t mean I don’t have some videos for you guys.

So here you go. Some poor amature camera video of Decibel’s crazy year ender. Big ups to Sean and Co. for pulling this one off.

The Paused – Basement Mix 01

img_0828

I’ve been in a bit of a rut as of late. I just honestly have not heard a lot of music that has been doing anything for me in the recent months and as a reflection I really have not been DJing like I used to. So to celebrate the holidays and to drag myself out of my music block that I’ve been going through, I present a new mix. One that’s not aimed at the dancefloor but rather for relaxing as this snow comes down. It’s full of tracks that I love and that I tell myself I’ll play some day but I’ve never been able to.

Mixed over the course of an hour while drinking 4 Rainiers. Fucking delicious. 1000% Vinyl.

Well enough gabber. I hope you enjoy the mix. Feedback welcome.

Gear Lust! Thingamakit

Holy shit! Audio madness! Cools little piece of gear here for pretty cheap. Only 70 Bucks!

I need one oh god I need one. Imagine some of the noises that this thing makes being run through something like Audio Damage’s Automation or hell just a bunch of guitar petals. This is cool and I want like a million of them.

Sorry for no new posts as of late. I swear I’m busy recovering my laptop and making music with the Wasp emulator that I’m in love with.
