What does it mean?
Acquire the Frequencies – Get Out of Town
After a recent trip to NYC and its many galleries I felt inspired to try something different and away from the computer. Visual collages were a natural choice as much of my music is made by cutting and pasting found sounds in to something new in a similar way.
Zoom in and let your intuition tell you which cryptic message is for you. Conscious Sedation? Let’s Get Weird? Think in 3D? Perhaps your message is in the pictures rather then the words. Only you can decide but remember, when in doubt: Acquire the Frequencies – Get Out of Town!
The Scientists
Retro science robot take-over break beats from the Insomniak Night Watch LP available on Bandcamp.
Revenge of the Acid
The black box on the right is my new x0xb0x acid bass line mofo. The x0x is a DIY Roland TB-303 clone built with the exact same components and a reverse engineered open source schematic. Read more about the x0x and order your own kit at Lady Ada.
I couldn’t wait to start ripping acid lines through a distortion stomp box so picked up an assembled unit on eBay. Always wanted a TB-303 and the x0x is fucking awesome, I expect to create much evil with this device. First up is this acid tech house banger called Acid Mouse – the 303 sound is like a bendy time machine back to epic rave days of yore but still the future! Check my Soundcloud and Myspace for more of this nasty bass synth action.
Heavy Rep
The lead track from the soon to be released EP of breakbeat and bass operations from Insomniak.
The Night Watch EP is a late night journey through a seedy past and a perilous future captured with long lost lo-fi samples, moody vinyl breaks and warbling vintage synths. More of a mind bender then a dance floor filler but still built on a sold rhythmic foundation.
Take Me to the Rose Garden
This new dubstep track samples heavily from an ill horror movie called Frailty – although the film has mostly flown under the radar since its 2001 release it is def worth checking out. A father enlists his children to help him destroy demons using magical weapons he has been given by god. It stars Bill Paxton and the voice of Matthew McConaughey in tense and well acted roles and while the story contains many twists it never loses continuity. Check out the Frailty forums on IMDB after you have seen it for any subtle touches you may have missed, there are many layers of detail making a second watching a whole new experience.
Musically this is my first shot at straight ahead dubstep although my bass and breaks productions of the past could still be included within the dubstep realm. It’s also an experiment in the latest Ableton Live which kicks ass so far!
