A midi-interface with, as can be expected from the name, 4 MIDI inputs and 4 MIDI outputs, which is hooked up to a MIDI patchbay, since without it they are not quite enough 😉 For now, it has enough ports…we’ll see about the future. It runs with Windows or Mac OSX, and really well and […]
[audio:schrodt_and_bucsics_-_on_the_sand_on_your_gums.mp3] This is a really mellow, chilly track, produced using a Commodore 64 and a Nintendo Gray Gameboy Classic, both played by Markus Schrodt, and a Roland MC505, played by myself. The reason for the name? Simple. By the time we were finished with this song, we were walking on the sand, on our gums, […]
[audio:nexxyz_-_Heavy_Smoke_Preview.mp3] A track I never finished. It is still quite a nice, hard two-step/breakbeat/whatever a la The Prodigy or Crystal Method. Bassy, boomy and dirty, with a haunting side-melody that’s almost taunting the listener and telling him to do all sorts of violent and sinful things…
Hey there! I’ve decided to go with the following plan: Each day, I will upload two songs and one equipment description. Maybe I won’t get to it each and every day, but I will try, so bear with me until all my tracks and tools are here, then we will get to some real new […]
[audio:thomas_r._bucsics_-_lead_plumbing.mp3] Aside from the obvious wordplay about the leaky lead synths, the “lead” in the title stands for its heavyness, and the “plumbing” for the rough style of this track. Hard, very, very bassy and dirty for a gameboy track, this is minimal Gameboy techno for fans. Chirpy and nasty. People were almost shocked at […]
[audio:thomas_r._bucsics_-_stereo_playground.mp3] A fast, hard Drum and Bass track, playing around with stereo settings, screwing with your mind. Has a few interesting tempo changes and some sweet breaks in it, and is one of my songs with the most drive. Complex, fast and driving.
The first matrix-display handheld gaming device that was released around the globe was a sensational hit. It got nintendo into the hearts of children and adults immediately. For the musician, it provides access to two pulse-channels, one noise channel, and one 4-bit sample channel. Accessible using LSDJ, lots of sounds and arrangemens can be produced […]
My dear 505, used by many, many artists (be sure to check out duo505 featuring dot.matrix‘s Herbert Weixelbaum). Great for producing beats and basic arrangements! I got it used, the LCD display lacks one vertical pixel row on the right, a bit annoying, but otherwise it’s in almost perfect condition.
[audio:nexxyz_-_Halloween_3001.mp3] A theme inspired by the theme of the Halloween movies and the variation on it Moby vs. Eniac used in their great track “Smoke This”, which was released on the “Save the Robots” ‘Members of Mayday compilation. Spooky stuff!
[audio:nexxyz_-_Failed_2_Rescue.mp3] A sad track with very melancholic harmonies and downbeat drums. My sister’s favourite of my songs.
