Testing out the BleepLabs Rad-Fi Synth kit I built. Sonic fun on a breadboard! Sequencing it with a Korg SQ-1, and processing it with the filter and delay modules from LittleBits. Korg Volca Sample provides the beats.

(recordings are a little noisy tho)

Rad-Fi Synth test 5

Rad-Fi Synth test 3

Techno track I made testing out the Leploop MultiCassa and Gieskes NoDrums Eurorack modules along with a Korg Volca Sample.

Multiplication

Raw recording with 4ms SMR, Make Noise Telharmonic and Korg Volca Sample. Sequencing done with BeatStep Pro and Euclidean Circles. Needs some editing.

Drums from Asteroid v4, Mini Shimmery Generator, and Multicassa. Sequenced by SSF Gatestorm.

Movimiento

Learning how to use gate logic to implement swing into a drum pattern using the SSF/Erogenous Tones Gatestorm module. This can be used with other logic modules as long as you have control over the pulsewidth.

All sounds triggered by Gatestorm. (Swing is only on hihats though)

I learned the technique here:

TASCAM 0154 - swing with gate logic

Got swing logic working good on my Gatestorm module! That is driving the kick, high hat and snare. The tom sounds are coming from the MultiCassa which is being clocked by the FourMulator, but the clock is shifted a little to compliment the swing. Effects by the RT-60, A-188-1, and Rainmaker.

A throwback to 1999...just bangin' out with a 909 and an SQ80. Saved this recording from an old cassette.

Derek (aka The Rhythmist, Number 8, Boxbanga) has been making electronic music since 1987. His deep and shuffled grooves layered with abstract textures and funky, disjointed melodies have a futuristic quality that gets your body moving.

Inspired by groups like Art Of Noise, Kraftwerk, and Mantronix he started an all-synth band in high school with some friends. The band broke up shortly after graduating, so he started working on music solo. His first official release on a label was in 1994 on Flask (a subdivision of the now defunkt Silent Records) under the alias ‘Number 8. He teamed up with local veteran producer Mattski and Solid Trax label manager Lucas Rodenbush to launch the Trax Cafe project in 1997. Their EP helped Derek to land apperances on two compilations and to get his own EP on Resource Records in 2000. Since then he has also done releases for labels such as Jump, Random Access Recordings, SIXONESIX, Friction, Diggarama, and Audio Abuse. From 2003 to 2012, Derek ran the DoBox Recordings netlabel to help promote his sound and other like-minded producers from around the world.

Lately you can find Derek doing live PAs around the SF Bay Area with the live improvisational Techno band, Haptic Synapses (along with DoBox label mates Steve Cooley and Qorser). He is also been in the lab doing various remixes and preparing to launch his new label, dbl (pronounced "double").
