Productions by carlo von lynX

On special request by members of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party_Germany
I have produced this techno version of Wikileaks' Collateral Murder suitable for
performance at open-air demonstrations on high volume public address amplification.
The intention is to underline the importance of transparency for a healthy democracy
and to support whistleblowers for providing transparency where transparency is due.
RPG = Rocket-propelled grenade, a shoulder-launched anti-tank weapon.

von lynX - Collateral Murder [Wikileaks] - Free Bradley Manning!

In occasion to this year's LinuxTag after show party, here's an italo disco edit of a curious trance track I found on an OpenMusic CD. The original track had 138 bpm! You can find it at http://openmusic.linuxtag.org and enjoy the diff. In fact its funnier to listen to the original first!

void main - penguin planet (italian edit von lynX) - HI-FI MP3-FREE

Dubby club edit of the notorious italian cover version, on request by the producer of the original recording.

Traks - Long Train Running (edit von lynX)

Bomb #1 in the boutique of bombs. Unfortunately Neuton records went bankrupt after this release (hey, it sold out - so it wasn't my fault! ;-)) so there hasn't been any follow-up release in any similar vein. If you managed to grab one of the 3000 vinyls, hold on to it! You can still get a reprint on Hadshot Haheizar's label compilation. See www.italectro.de for details.

that's a smart thing to say (excerpt of the vinyl 12")

Don't Take Techno Too Seriously!!!

Italian friends of mine think the way electronic music got forbidden on East German radio sometime around 1988 was extremely inappropriate. That's why the year after the wall came down. This is Honecker's announcement on radio why so-called "bit musik" was no longer welcome in the so-called "German Democratic Republic." This event is not to be confused with the banning of "Beatmusik" in the 70s. Actually I might have all my facts wrong, so don't take this for a history lesson.  :)

I edited this track because the original proved hard to beatmatch. With a new intro in front and an outro at the end it is easy to mix now. Sorry if I can't offer you a download for this one. I have ideas for a more advanced version of this edit, anyway.. so consider it a work in progress.

By the way, the "Disk Dump & Restore" module on IBM mainframes was popular among "hackers" as it had the funny side effect of making files available that were supposed to be invisible.

DDR MODULE - Bitmusik (edit von lynX)

I played a spontaneous live jam for the shooting of an upcoming video in Oslo. Eleven minutes is the actual time it took to make this track. Yes, my live shows sound something like this now – and all elements are played live. You can watch me how I build it up synth by synth. Although you should rather dance. While the video documenting the jam is still in the making, this is a cleaned up version of that live jam (in fact these are just the loops I recorded in that moment, not the live things I did on top). Credit goes out to Gazebo for the basic drum beat. He constructed this in 2 minutes as I asked him about the drum pattern for his 80s debut single "Masterpiece." It is actually intended for a different production, but I got socially pressured to use it for this recording, too. ;-)  I should probably also credit Alexander Robotnick for inspiration, as the bass line sounds somewhat like him - although I recorded it spontaneously out of my head. I have some thirty more jams like this one from the preparations to my Oslo live show that I could probably work into actual tracks. Or I could jam some more.  :-)

Like everyone here, I've been deejaying and producing since teenage days. Music is a question of taste, but you can expect some quality things here productionwise - normalized in frequency spectrum and loudness, ready for DJ use.

My tracks are uploaded as hi-fi variable bitrate MP3s. VBR is roughly equivalent to 256 bps. 320 is pointless, as a 44.1kHz/16bit file will mathematically never use more than 256. Funny how everyone on soundcloud seems to think 320 is good. In any case, MP3 will always mean a certain amount of loss, so the only way to avoid that is to use WAV/AIFF/FLAC or RAR. In professional productions you should never employ MP3, no matter how high the bitrate.
