But Not Tonight (Depeche Mode cover)

Hey Guys! Rich (Disasterpeace) here, I wanted to give you a glimpse into the very early process, concepting and sketching of the music for Hyper Light Drifter. This is the very first thing I've gotten the chance to write, and is by no means a finished piece of music. I envision what is here so far as the opening section of a much longer piece that plays during gameplay, which would evolve and grow right as this version of the track ends. It really is a brief glimpse, and the most preliminary, but maybe we'll look back in a few months and be surprised at how far we've come! Or maybe I hit the nail on the head, I guess we'll find out!

The latest chapter in the electronic evolution of guitarist John Frusciante features a new project under his Trickfinger guise and has him utilizing the classic hardware that spawned the eternal acid template. Frusciante's desire to cede control to machines has paradoxically allowed him to present a singular take on elemental dance music, a brilliant and unexpected entry into Acid Test's growing canon of modern, 303-focused dance music.


Trickfinger - After Below

Frozen Eyes

Bit Rot

Tribute To Dyzio 2 (nr25)

Here is a track I've done in 1991 with Future Composer on a Commodore 64 - It's the first track I've ever made on a Computer and it's a cover of the tree level of the AMIGA game "Shadow of the Beast". This is a remaster of the original, i only have this on audiotape and reconstructed by ear on our Commodore 64 Music Workstation. Enjoy!

Shadow Of The Beast by David Whittaker [C64 / SID version]

"Think of it as Donkey Kong meets Norman Cook... or maybe Tetris takes on Kraftwerk" (BBC News)

Mikro Orchestra is an experimental sound - visual project from Poland, basing on the use of hand-held game consoles as a music instrument. Main assumption of project's authors is to create new sound space on the base of tones generated live from hand-held game consoles during a highly intensive performance consisting of massive explosion of visuals.

The aim of the Mikro Orchestra is to create irony in the electronic music scene with low tech hardware and relatively simple software in a world dominated by ever more advanced digital music processing and creation technologies. A crucial decision since the very conception of this digital music project was the creation of a unique brand of music by relying solely on game consoles as musical instruments.

Group is active since 2001, currently with four players: Jaroslaw Kujda, Agnieszka Kujda, Mariusz Jura and Boguslaw Krawczuk..

In 2006 orchestra has changed the name from "gameboyzz orchestra project" to Mikro Orchestra.

The Mikro Orchestra has performed at a number of venues including:
Ars Electronica Festival, Linz; Transmediale, Berlin; Club transmediale, Berlin; WRO Media Art Biennale, Wroclaw; Read_Me festival, Moscow; Piemonte Share Festival, Torino/Italy; FESTA ELETTRONICA, Rome; experimentaclub, Madrid; Festival Emergences, Paris; ENTERmultimediale festival, Prague; STEIM, Amsterdam; Warsaw Electronic Festival; Microscopesession, Festspielhaus Hellerau, Dresden; Social Hacking, Plymouth and more.
