Sam & Say. Do you like horses?
A couple of months ago me and Linde and Salkin made a jam in a cave. Now the Internet2008 corporation has accepted 4 of the songs that we made. They’re made with C64 and Amiga and a Casio keyboard and other stuff. Get them here.
I like everything forever!
Rotterdam, Tilburg, Brussels, Berlin, Malmö
This weekend, the new edition of the Playlist exhibition starts in Brussels. I feel almost over-represented as I’ve contributed to exhibited works by James Dingle, Entter, Raquel Meyers, Mats den Andre, Erik Nilsson, Boogerlab and also in Rosa Menkman’s video with music made under the name Extraboy. Still, it seems to be a great exhibition. See it now! Also, there’s three live-shows coming up, with visuals by Raquel Meyers and a hacker-jam-workshop thing at a hacker space in Malmö.
June 4 @ Dance to the Bit, Rotterdam, nl w/ Flex Busterman, Computadora, Je Deviens DJ En 3 Jours & Microtterdam DJs. I’ll play an early ambient-ish set.
June 5 @ Crackbits 2.5, Tilburg, nl w/ Flex Busterman, R10T33R, Gameboys A Gogo.
June 11 @ Tresor, Berlin, de. VisualBerlin festival w/ e.g. Stu, Tonylight, Decrepticton, Notendo, Lance Blisters. I will also do a workshop/lecture here, and some undercover tom-foolery.
June 19 @ Hacknight #2, Malmö, se. Me and Glenn Again will improvise with Defmon and other secret C64-softwares, but also make a workshop entitled “Beyond bleep-blop: C64 as music monster”. Sign up for it here.
Tracker Hero, the Amiga Game!
I’ve got some songs in Tracker Hero – an Amiga version of Guitar Hero. It uses Amiga MOD-music instead of boring crap. With an adapter you can plug in Playstation-controllers aswell. Rock on rock off! It’s still beta, but who isn’t? Here’s a video that’s one year old, but shows this off rather nicely, hehe. Btw, if you like this kind of lo-fi music, check out radio mazemod or you can download a few hundred of my Amiga tunes here …
Zagreb. Demode Festival. Performance + Talk.
I’ll perform with Raquel Meyers at Demode Festival on Friday, alongside Danger, the Lowbrows and others. I’ll also do a presentation with a critical perspective on chipmusic and the demoscene, building on what I write at Chipflip. Btw, I published a tiny history of demoscene music at Rhizome.
Stockdon Documentation
When playing for Brand, Rsms did GÄSTFLÖJT for my performance, and secretly recorded it with a dictaphone in his pocket. In other words, hi-fi pocket bootleg! Get Datahell (destructive dictaphone version), live @ brandfesten.mp3. Also, Shawn Phase showed up all the way from USA so I suggested that he’d sing something. Check the video recording here!
At Hatebit in London I improvised live with Dan Stowell, who used his own neat setup. His voice is translated into the Spectrum AY-soundchip in real-time, giving it a truly crunchy dialect (like this). There are rumours about a recording all around the internets, but we’ll see. There are some bits of video here. Update 100507:
Noise + Anarchism in Stockholm + London
29 April, London: HATEBIT w/ Neurobit, Shitmat circuit bending thingies, Spastic Burn Victim, d0us, and me. I will do a little jam together with Dan Stowell.
1 May, Stockholm: Release-party for the new and improved Brand – a 100 year old anarchist magazine (!). I will jam a bit with Rasmus Fleischer here, and Jossystem are VJing!

Retirementology the Paris+Outpt way
Raquel Meyers is soon releasing a DVD for lightrhythmvisuals where she’ll present her visual works, and have other people remix it. Here is Paris and Outpt‘s remix of the Retirementology video. The song was also recently remixed by Herv for Sonic Intifada. Remix remix remix remix remix… remix remix-mix, mix remix? Remix! Re mix, mix, re re.
V/A: Sonic Intifada (Marionette CD)
08 Goto80 – Retirementology (Herv Remix/Rebuild)
A CD-compilation with hard stuff on Marionette Records, including for example Donna Summer, the Teknoist, Michael J Rocks, Uncle Bad Touch, Bee-Log, and also Herv‘s re-work of my song Retirementology. It’s a very nice rave-circus-pop piece, so get the CD or wait until it’s free. The original version of the song is not released yet, but it’s in this video. I’m saving it for my retirement.
V/A: Memories of The Future (Select Start MP3)
03 Goto80 – Disco Dengu
Free compilation with space disco electro future, you know? My song is, uhm, tricky slacker disco? Space-beard funk? // Along with e.g. Linde, Tom Woxom, 8GB, Jellica, Steve, Failotron, Rico Zerone and Yerzmey, this is good stuff.
