Big ups to @laamaa.fi ... the creator of this wonderful music tool -- at the time of recording this I didn't realize they were cool with me publicly recognizing them... but now I see they've already posted a bunch! Keep your eyes peeled for more.

This weeeeekend - Saturday night - Fitzroy. I'm busting out the Amiga with some new cheeky lo-fi bops. Some reworked house nodders and a couple of jungle rollers along side some Synthwave fun. Catfish Hotel! See ya there :)

Interrupt Festival is this weekend! I'm so excited (here's part of my opening tune). If you are in Melbourne, you have to come down to this - it's a once-in-5-years-event that has the best pocket music composers visiting from all edges of planet earth. Great vibes, all original music.

Getting back to funky days with a CP80 vs VDrum (played live) session. I'm always blown away that I can just take all the techniques I learnt in analogue studios and apply them in this odd hybrid DAW space! Old habbits: if I need to scroll vertically there's too many tracks! EQs all in a rack :-P

RIP Seiki Kato san; head of Korg prod planning in late 80s. He inspired the engineers to push the M1 to its limits even tho it seemed cost prohibitive; worked overtime with the sound designers; and just as he predicted, ROM prices fell just in time. For a while, Korg wore the multi-timbral crown!

Here's something for you to Zone out to. A while back we built a 12 x 16 lighting grid from addressable DMX poles and 0F.D and TommityTom made a timed MIDI / DMX show. Tommitytom coded up an arduino driver board and full pre-viz platform to test it on. Cheers for the vid datagoth!)

The percussion on this is absolutely wild. Sample gold I tell ya! I vaguely remember buying this years ago after quite a few drinks in Tokyo (inevitably ended up in a record store!) Somehow got slid in the trance section of my collection. It's always awesome to rediscover a random record!

You are up to date.
