Guerra e Pace, Pollo e Brace  (Wub Machine Electro Remix)

Pretty much what every Blitter show sounded like. You could be there. In the front row. In 2000. By clicking play.

Weekend At Interrupt Orchard

I collected as many Yamaha DX7 patch files as I could and deduplicated each voice within each patch file. There were 59,907 SYSEX files, most of which contained a bank of 32 voices each, for a total of 1,853,728 voice sounds. After hashing the non-name content of the voice (the actual parameters of the sound), I found 31,380 unique voices made by musicians over the years for the DX7. Here they all are. Tag your favorite.

"BPS v1" I believe was a collaboration of sorts with "Snackmaster" who then became Noah Vawter. This appears to be a rough demo or live mix down of various things and represents the noises I was normally making at the time.


BPS v1

The last recorded Blitter track, summer 2002, recorded in Cambridge @ MIT. Released on Adhesive Records' "Left Bank" compilation in late 2002.
