Welcome to my homage to sonic delights from D+B, Breakbeat, Jungle, Dub, Techno, early 90s House, Lofi and Soul. Some mixes of mine, some one offs from BITD. #IMAYBEOLDBUTIMNOTDONEYET

This page features the attempts at music made in the year 2000.

A new millennium, a new home & computer. No more trackers to make music with as my beloved Fasttracker stopped working in windows 98, I had to find another solution. 

These recordings are tracks I've made in the year 2000, mostly live vst/hardware tweaking jams or beatloops made for my brother to rap on. I found it hard converting to a horizontal approach of arranging in Cubase, moving, copying sample blocks around with the mouse instead of being able to quickly dial in a breakbeat with the computer keyboard. Nonetheless opposed to feeling like I had control, playing around, being more in a searching-mode also had its charm :) . 

Gear used on these; 

Computer; 
PIII 667mhz 

Software; 
cubase 5.1 + vst(i) 
Bram Bos Hammerhead & tuareq 
Propellorhead rebirth 

Hardware; 
behringer mixer 
Virtualizer (x2) 
Modulalizer 
Roland Alpha Juno II 

Tracks recorded straight to a Philips cdr 930 mini audio cd recorder.

This is a a selection of tracks that I've created in 2001. 

There must be something in it that is still likable to someone, somewhere, somehow ;-) . 

2000 was the year where I acquired my own pc with cutting edge cd burner and had to switch to Cubase 5.1 + vst's as my beloved fasttracker didn't work in the than new Windows 98. 
At first the changed set-up meant much mouse clicking frustration in the (beat) programming department, often resulting in sparse and minimal segmented tunes as I couldn't be bothered spending more time on melody or progression, words that didn't/don't mean much to me anyway, but recording and tweaking live was fun (hear results in 2000 selection; plugexpert.bandcamp.com/album/2000-selection ). 

In 2001 I also started using the step-sequencer of fruityloops, exporting patterns to .wav and using these as building blocks in cubase. 
Any hint of melody in most of these, is thin, the notes are rigidly quantized, even lacking variation in dynamics. Tonal elements repeat in short patterns at fixed intervals, like short station calls implying structure, but probably not resulting in an emotional impact and thus tracks can come across cold and absent of any intention or goal. I can't remember having any other aim at the time than having fun creating 'fat' beats, as is still often the motive. Nevertheless, said excuses and resulting impersonal music does have its charm and moments... 

lol.

I write electronic music.
 I love the classic techno sounds of the 808, 909, 707, 303 and most hardware.
Influenced by UR, APHEX TWIN, Kosmic Commando, and old classic acid house and many other electronic genres but ACID is my favourite kinda sound. I like simple music that sounds like it flows from the machines it is made with.

not a dj


i do acid via synths, drum machines, and Ableton.
