New Toy

So I was browsing Ebay last week and came across a Yamaha DX7 in mint condition. What was special about this one was that the guy selling it didn't list it in any categories. Therefore noone was bidding on it and I got it suuuper cheap. Like cheaper than a midi controller of similar quality.

So now I own the most popular synth ever made, and can now get that cool lo fi 80's digital synth sound going.

RAM

I'v started working on two remixes for Random Access Memory, Vampires and Cop to be exact. Im going to finish them up over break and ill post something then.

New Toys

I was able to get my hands on a copy of Native Instruments Absynth and FM8. They both look way cool. Hopefully sometime soon ill have some new stuff to post. School has been killing me and kitten has been sick which isnt good.

Test Track: Digital Hardcore Test

So this test track was inspired after listening to some Atari Teenage Riot. I took the Micron and loaded up a custom setup using some of its stock sounds, then played it through my 6" Ibanez Bass amp, and mic'ed it with my Shure PG57.

Its mono, it sounds horrible, but that was the point.

Signal Chain:
Micron -> Ibanez Bass Amp -> Shure PG57 -> Behringer UCA202 -> Mac/GB

Test Track: Korg ER1 + Micron Test

This track was recorded the day I got my Korg ER-1. I took the Micron and ran its output into the ER-1 and then ran the drum synth while jamming on the Micron.

New Mic / Updates

So this weekend I took some old gear down to Music Go Round and traded it it. Took the cash and picked up a Shure PG57 Instrument / Vocal mic. I have some ideas lined up but nothing sound yet.

Also Im really going to try and get some tracks uploaded. Im looking for some webspace somewhere to stash them.

Early Work

So I think the best place to start would logically be the beginning. Tommrow I am going to pick a few clips of early stuff I made to serve as a foundation to see if I improve or if its all downhill from there.

I would post some things now, but Josh took Baltes and I out shooting and my ears are still ringing which wouldnt be productive while mastering the tracks.

A New Hope

So here I am, on the ragged edge of the world. I'm currently stuck somewhere in the desert wasteland of New Mexico.

All I have to keep sane in this world are a few friends, my computers, a synth and a drum machine. Perhaps I can create some noise that will inspire you. Perhaps not.

Won't you join me on my journey ?
