Shuji Terayama Office with Rafael: Cage 檻囚 - 12/05/2023

Experimenting layering sync'd harmony effects made with layers of 1964 Servomex LF-141 jumping between harmonics in osc-sync mode blended with a two speed sequence made with a 1985 Korg SQD-1 hardware midi sequencer driving the Alesis Micron in the workshop.

Cruasd

An Amiga Protracker music module I wrote 30 years ago under the guise of BrokenARM Music for a game called !Phaethon on the Acorn Archimedes playing live out of one of my new prototype MODjack hardware Amiga module players in glorious 8-bit audio powered by a single AAA battery.

If someone was to tell me back in 1987, when Karten Obarski released his groundbreaking 4-channel 8-bit sample based Ultimate Soundtracker program for the Amiga, that one day it would be possible to play back my music modules on a single 8-bit embedded processor chip costing $1 running off an AAA battery using a playroutine written in C my jaw would have hit the floor.. but here we are now 37 years later thanks to Jarkko Lempiainen's nifty embedded playroutine and a world full of remarkably inexpensive little processors.

This is literally nothing but an 8-bit ATmega328P running at 16MHz and a bunch of resistors making up a 1R-2R DAC powered by an AAA battery from a high-frequency DC-DC convertor.. and it doesn't even sound at all bad.. TBH I'm pretty surprised.

The only downside is that the ATmega328P only has 32K of FLASH so you have to be a bit selective with the modules you can run on this thing..

I keep grabbing these things as convenient audio test sources so one day I might re-develop this concept for a wider audience using one of the new high performance embedded ARM processors.

Setting myself another sonic challenge..  made with a 1978 Mk 1 Korg MS-20 making use of the MS-20's superb high and low pass resonant filters and ring-modulator auto-triggered and shaped from an external audio source via the built in Envelope Follower.  The sheer flexibility of the MS-20 really does allow this wonderful instrument to cover a lot of ground.

Artista Di Merda - Music Is Your Only Friend

Testing out a 1979 Crumar Performer following repairs at Hideaway Studio.  Like so many other Italian synths of the day I find this little wonder may not be feature rich but has so much heart to give - a lovely sounding instrument!

About this EP :
In a world obsessed with perfection and power, Mere Mortals offers a moment of clarity — a soulful reminder that we are all fallible, fragile, and beautifully human. Blending rich melodies, organic sounds, and irresistible grooves, The Oddness creates a sound that moves both the body and the soul. The title track comes alive with two exceptional remixes from Max TenRom and Ka:lu, adding extra layers of psychedelic groove and dance‑floor energy.
With rich grooves and heartfelt energy, Mere Mortals reflects on the beauty of being human — limits and all. We invite you to embrace imperfection as beauty
