CASIO-CORE / lo-fi / micromusic made in 08.2015. Two calculators in love are dancing tango. How romantic.
No sequencers used. All parts and fragments have been played live, as usual. 
Generally - no additional sound-effects. Usually I use raw original sound of toy-keyboards. (You can spot something here but it's negligible minority, like some echoes on effects). 

This time I used my the newest toy - CASIO SA-47. It's surprisingly powerful, for a toy, and also - considering its very small size. I dare to say, it would be a good asset for all casio-core/toytronica musicians as well as for regular chiptune musicians (while concerts, for example). 
It has a good quality of sound; very clear samples and very low level of noise (actually - using the noise-gate almost isn't necessary here). The samples are very short however, not always well-looped, sometimes out of tune, true. 
But those are charms of micromusic, aren't they. ;)

2019 - my Youtube profile has been hacked and I cannot access it any more but Google/Youtube doesn't give a sh*t about it and indeed the simply SUPPORT the hacker/thief. It's *disgusting*.

..micromusic.. ..lo-fi.. ..casio-core.. ..low-tek..
..chiptune..
The project has been established in 2005 to play lo-fi / casio-core / micromusic stuff. 

The music initially was supposed to be played only on YAMAHA PSS-270 keyboard - a small toy for children.


Finally I decided to use as many toy-keyboards as possible. For now I have toys such as:


YAMAHA PSS-270 (of course)

CASIO SK-5

YAMAHA PSS-680

CASIO SK-1

YAMAHA PSS-50

CASIO MA-120

CASIO SA-39

CASIO MT-205

CASIO SA-5

and one of only 2 toy-versions of Casio CZ series: Casio CZ-230S.


I don't use any sequencers. I play everything "from hand" and mix it on COOL EDIT Pro. I treasure the original totally plastic and synthetic sound of the toys, so I almost don't add any post-production effects; rarely I add some reverb/delay but you can state it's their original sound. But I permit, I will use some sound-modifications in future, when I get bored with still the same instruments. :)


My music is inspired by steam-punk, small old mechanical devices, horror-cabaret/horror-circus atmosphere, Doctor Who mood, and classic-electronica musicians, like Jean-Michel
Jarre, Marek Bilinski, Vangelis, Andrzej Szymalski, Kraftwerk, Roman Wiercinski (Cyborg)...

I tend to dump random musical ideas here. Also now a member of Cool and New Music Team??? Hope you enjoy!

I often start things and never finish them, so quite a few previews here will be abandoned. Most of them have been moved to my secondary account, so you can check that out if you want to.
