You are sick of your pixel life

That's what my girlfriend told me this morning. This night, during my sleep, I apparently said "I'm sick and tired". "Sick and tired of what?", she asked . "Sick and tired of my pixel life", I answered. I took that as an hidden message about chiptunes.

So I got back to Renoise and made This tune.

Circuit Bent NES

Today I came across Pixelform's website. He added knobs and switches to an old NES in order to control glitches manually. But he also made is own circuit with an jack input that enables real-time audio reactivity. Pretty cool for a chiptune live! HERE are the schematics and video examples.

Interesting p2p study

Industry Canada did a music file sharing study during 2006-07. The goal was to to measure the extent to which music downloads over peer-to-peer file sharing networks, for which the sound recording industry receives no remuneration, affect music purchasing activity in Canada. The data used for this analysis are from a survey conducted between April and June, 2006, on behalf of Industry Canada. The report, found that music downloads have a positive effect on music purchases among Canadian downloaders ( Approx +0,5 album sold for each album downloaded.) but that there is no effect taken over the entire population aged 15 and over. Please read i you don't believe me.

Sebastian Tomczak aka Little-Scale is an australian artist who loves to deviate technology, ie. he develops his own tools to make music. In 2005, he created the Glitchcollective and has been a part of the milkcrate net.label for 2 years now. Want an example of Little-Scale's work? I highly suggest you to check is last release, entirely made with a homemade midi-controlled Sega Genesis ( aka Megadrive I ). You can download it HERE.

PhD Thesis on Breakcore

Do a sociology phD thesis about breakcore, sounds crazy eh? Well it is very serious and you get download the full pdf HERE. On a more general side, this project is about underground music online, and so it is predicated on the idea that this shit matters. I can't do a full summary but I can give some advices on what to read. If you're interested in masculinity, and language use, go for chapters 4-7. If you’re interested in breakcore, sampling, dance music or whatever, that happens in chapters 8-10. About p2p: chapters 2 and 10. Internet research: 1, 2 and 10.

one two test.
