Dat Beat

I was hosting the ‪@HardwareJams‬ weekend challenge this week (check it out https://www.youtube.com/live/xfFzrzyYu9Y) 

And as i'd been away and missed my usual live slot on thursday, i decided to do a bonus live jam at the end of the stream. 

OBS wasn't very happy with me switching profiles, so needed a reset, but once it started playing nicely, I managed about 20 minute jam 

As I will probably not be streaming this thursday either, I will need to do another catch up next week! for now, Enjoy!

Turn It Up

🚀 Launch Event: The Exchange Infiltration
Deployed BLOATWARE live instance at The Exchange, Bristol.
Initial boot sequence triggered via crowd feedback loop and haze density threshold.

🧑‍🎤 Raw Vocal Subsystem (Beta)
Activated punk processor.
Input: rage + echo chamber
Output: distorted broadcast from a lost rebel radio tower.

👾 Alien Presence Detector v1.0
Auditory anomalies reported in the smoking area.
Witnesses claim synth patches "spoke back" mid-set. Investigation ongoing.

⚙️ SET_START Protocol
Once initialized, triggers synchronized chaos across drum modules, LED rigs, and jaw control.
Includes failsafe: audience evacuation disables encore mode.

🌪️ Breakdown Cascade Engine
Break sections now cause spatial distortion in front-left speaker stack.
Effective range: 3 meters. Known to reverse lack of movement.

🌌 Reverb Intelligence AI ("REDZONE")
Developed new sentient reverb plugin. It now chooses when you deserve the drop.

🔧 Changed

🎛️ Synth Tuning Logic Overhaul
Replaced traditional scale system with alien tuning signatures intercepted from the imminent Exchange invasion.

🧨 Kick Drum Depth: Upgraded to "seismic event"
New kick profile calibrated using abandoned rave schematics and floorboard resonance tests.

⚡ Lighting Engine
Strobes now respond to shout intensity + trance gate levels.
Occasionally syncs with audience participation.

🛠️ Codebase Migration
Moved from bash-based bloatOS to experimental OS named V0CALFRACK.
Written entirely in breakdown.js and modular regret.

🐛 Fixed

🪲 Vocoder Bug: "Possession Mode"
Glitch causing spontaneous glossolalia has been reduced to rare chorus sections.

🎤 Phantom Mic Channel
Disabled rogue input source pulling live feeds from an unknown CB radio frequency.

🚬 Crowd Drift AI Overcorrection
Fixed issue where audience drifted into smoking area wormhole mid-track.

⚠️ Known Issues

🔴 Smoking Area Vortex Instability
Time dilation still active near back exit. Abduction likely.
Inhaling may lead to future knowledge or missing hours.

🧬 Vocal Layering may include unintended guests
Disembodied harmonies are not part of the show. Do not engage them.

🖥️ Visual System
Graphics card still overheating. Last test produced an accidental AI-generated rave cult sigil.

⛔ There is no encore button.
Once the loop locks, you ride it 'til shutdown.
No ESC. No mercy.

🧠 About BLOATWARE

BLOATWARE is a sentient techno collective, originally patched together from abandoned synths, corrupted firmware, and a dream someone had in a toilet queue at unfold.

Live-coded. Vocals screamed through ethernet cables.
Each set is an improvised attempted takeover of your nervous system.

Install update. Don't leave the club. Don't trust the voices.

ambient, soundtrack and techno tracks with a dark and doomy, metal and industrial influence; I use cheap, scuzzy old out of date equipment, field recordings and analog synths. I mostly record live. Grit is Good. 
Also one half of the ultra-hard electro noise punk doom duo 9hx5t/5x9nxl.
