sakitto menda - aux chord (drumnails)

improvised jam rescued from old hard drive, most likely uses my "convicts" patch for the vz / ipd

convictions (2013, vz-1, ct-770)

snail grrrl...leave a trail in your wake
leave a clue for...the detective in me
worm boy...don't let them use you as bait
Learning is never a mistake... if you have the energy
Forbidden jumpsuit
mail boy says it will arrive safe
slime chemistry and forensics
pleasure will be your only escape


snail grrrl (demo)

pretty sure this preset patch in the VZ-1 was programmed by Hans Dryer
completely faked stereo recording using cool edit pro stock reverbs. 
one day i might make a proper stereo mix using all 4 outputs from vz-1q.

_iyashi bassmix new snares tuned to A 260bpm rev3
d diminished lydian (ending) percussive textures

took 12 hours too long to finish because I didn't realize that the "solo" function in FLstudio is USELESS as when you solo an instrument...unsoloing does not remember your previously muted channels...meaning the "808" guide drums ended up in the main mix when exporting. Then because I didn't have a spreadsheet of which casio drums are tuned to which note I had to repitch the snares to A to sound more like the 808 who's virtue was that it was by default in tune with the lydian d diminished scale I had recorded the 2nd section bass / synth line in.

Rapman, VL-5 broken blip, PT-82 blip / snr (all tuned to A snare partials)

casio liberation front manifesto

the casio liberation front is working hard to liberate all toy instruments from their fragile mortally wounded hardware prisons and provide emulations so they can live on forever in the pixelated digital clouds that rain nybbles and bytes down on the quantized tropical terrain where shaman dance at one with the conductive humidity currents to heal us from our transactional binary afflictions; flooding the world with a peppery pulse which ripples and radiates, undulates and propagates like seasoning from the clouds, it's angel dirt! You will be the wind beneath her skirt. Pleasure the only payment for which we work. Captive concessions. Entering the age of remarkable sparkles. The dice are rolling like marbles. Time knows only marvels as waves of endurance caress the shores of your mechanical heart that excites the rhythmically inductive pulses with ecstatic momentum, resulting in kinetic background of exhaustion and sympathetic dissonance. Sown without righteousness...the timid seeds of Cruelty will wither on the vines of hatred...you've sent everyone home...you will reap only what you are shown in the germination of the mirror...no one will harvest that shit! We Practice computational breathing! We are synchronized with every clock in a 599 unit radius from the epicenter of your soul. We are post-power-dynamics (commonly known as a 'switch')...and we have all the smiles in a vault and are not afraid to unleash them on this miserable simulation of a community that no longer knows whether it is coming or going! loneliness will meet my guillotine and you will no longer be friends with the amputated abstractions of an obsolete mass hysteria of the masculine variety. Tomorrow!
