Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Check out this tremendously interesting project:

A DIY 8-bit sampler specially made for those DIYlers and Benders alike. So you get all the bad, crunchy, delightfull 8-bit sound that most of us like so much. So it basically is a Speak&Spell-Sampler ready to be bent and abused.

Check out this massive track. A wonderfully broad and exraordinary beautiful, dark piece. A tremendous blend of multiple genres. Anthem alert!

3 different directors sign this very simple, but yet interesting video by Björk. The song is absolutely tremendous. Antony Hegarty´s voice is so… special in a positive way.

What´s going on!?

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Well, I did a lot of soldering lately alongside with preparations for next school season. I finally soldered and built the 2 Highly Liquid MIDI-Retrofit-Kits into my “La Dictée Magique” and my SK-5. There are still some minor issues who have to be cleared, bad soldering and the like. The problem about the Highly Liquid products is not that they are badly made or not well documented, but I somehow miss a user-forum or something like that. Because if you look through their site you are just given a minimum of information. (Highly Liquid Site) I´ll put some pictures up, but I´ll probably update my old Wordpress before that (yes, still haven´t done that).
And my Gakken SX-150 arrived yesterday. Fun, little thing. I will probably do something circuit-bending-vice with it. Yep, flaaps (flaaps blog gave me a PCB “SHEcho” from General Guitar Gadgets. I already started soldering some resistances on it, but still need to get all the different ICs. So lot of things happening here. Will keep you updated. CYA.
