Hardsync – New C64 Dance Pad Game

Nov 5, 2012 |

If you have a dance pad for C64 you can now dance to my music, thanks to Hardsync by the data-maestro lft.

There’s not so many songs in this first version, but my song Blox is in “pretty good” company. It’s in 188 bpm, so bring out that gabber footwork and make a happy dance!

Stuttgart – Stockholm – Stuttgart

Oct 18, 2012 |

Some events coming up:

> 27 October: a very special live performance in Stuttgart. Together with Uwe Schenk and his band I’ll perform along with text visuals by Raquel Meyers. Both songs and improvisations. Don’t miss out! Read more.

> 10 November: live gig at Nalen (Klubb Escape) in Stockholm, with visuals by Raquel Meyers. Also performances by Dunderpatrullen and Djurpark.

> 14 November: Talk at the public library in Stuttgart, as part of the series Do You Believe In Users?. The point is to talk about the 8-bit underground from the perspective of the user, and explain why ideas like nostalgia, limitations and appropriation just doesn’t cut it anymore.

My Own Teletext Channel!

Sep 25, 2012 |

Yeah, this could obviously be faked. But don’t worry – you will see soon enough that it’s not. Me and Raquel Meyers are now able to produce our own teletext signal. So now we don’t need a video mixer anymore!

We’ve started to mix teletext with trackers and PETSCII graphics. Check out the first tests at Flickr. There’s also some teletext printouts there, using a TV with a built-in dot matrix printer. Check out text-mode.tumblr.com if you’re hungry for more text graphics.

Fax Performance Recording

Sep 21, 2012 | ,

Last year I made a fax performance, where we had a phone line open for incoming faxes, and another one for internal PETSCII faxing. There is now a Tumblr that shows one of these faxes every day.

As for the music, I turned pre-made songs into droney jams, and I drowned it in Ableton delays. It was filmed by TVMarineret, who did some pretty hardcore editing of the material. The first part is here and contains more accordion and clownery.

I made some PETSCII

The newest release at CHIPFLIP has some really good music by Omri Suleiman, and graphics made by me and Raquel Meyers. Let’s stop making boring MP3/JPG-releases and bring back the future of music disks!
