043: entropea returns

2025-05-09
I just re-built and revised my "Entropea" expression controller (now with hold switches), so this is a short test-drive on it. In this case it's running a Roland S1 micro-synth through the bluebox mixer

041: 777-meditation

2025-05-03
a slow, somewhat self-indulgent meditation on just the FutureRetro 777, showing off some of the twisted sounds it can make. There's also a tiny bit of bubbling acidity from the TD3

040: LD50:50 - trancey acid techno set on the mobile reactor - birthday set!

2025-04-26
Slowly evolving trancey acid mix from my recent birthday! I did several live mixes that weekend but this was my favourite. It had the TD3 and the FutureRetro 777 just working perfectly together with the TR8S.

039: random twinkly

2025-03-18
Quite an old chilled acid mix, from 22/09/2021, requested by someone on youtube. There's a bit of noise on the recording, not sure there's much I can do about that, sorry.

038: laut sein (schranz mashup)

2024-12-18
This is a live wompy mashup using a sample from "Laut Sein" by #CEObusters feat. Irie Revolte (Sensay remix),. The original track is so good, the main hook got stuck in my head and this was the only way to get it out.

037: dorley

2024-11-28
This is the beginning of a series of explorations of noise/techno, line noise, interference and suchlike. The RC-505 is surprisingly good for this! Vox sample is from the audiobook of "Sisters of Dorley", by Alyson Greaves, read by Velvette
