🗂️ CHANGELOG.md – BLOATWARE
Live Techno Band Repository
Version: v8.0.0-nightly
Codename: "NEURAL-FREQ_DRIFT"

🆕 Added
🕶️ Track Upload: neon_spike_protocol()
Sourced from corrupted firmware logs and broadcast illegally across pirate towers in Sector 6.

⚡ Surge Engine
Injects voltage variance directly into the bassline.
Side effects include electrical euphoria and mild retinal flickering.

📡 CrowdMesh Feedback System
Audience wearables now sync to tempo fluctuations.
Heartbeat BPM maps directly to delay tails.

🧬 Mutating Loop Clusters
Each 16-bar loop self-replicates and evolves.
Original pattern becomes myth after 3 iterations.

🎛️ HARDWIRED JAM ZONE Mode
Triggers full gear lockdown in the Conservatory.
No presets, no saves—just one shot through the grid.

🚷 Unauthorized Synth Protocols
Reverse-engineered gear now runs custom bootloaders.
Violates multiple licensing agreements and at least one natural law.

👁️ Optic Sync Visual Driver
Projection system hijacks security cameras for source footage.
All glitches are intentional. All glitches are watching you.

🔧 Changed
🦾 Drum rack velocity curve now reacts to ambient cybernetic interference.

🧠 Vocal chain rerouted through emotion-mapping AI.
Unexpected confessions may occur mid-set.

🔄 Quantization removed. Time is now relative to floor density.

🔊 Master limiter replaced with live AI negotiator.
Argues with the sound system before every drop.

💾 Memory management improved: loops now overwritten only after they’ve hurt you emotionally.

🐛 Fixed
🔒 Removed rogue LFO that attempted to encrypt entire setlist.

🪫 Fixed issue where controller knobs sent distress signals to nearby IoT devices.

🔧 Audio out no longer routes to neighboring frequencies unintentionally.
(Transmission to drones has ceased.)

🌀 Resolved rare glitch where tempo would sync to planetary rotation.

⚠️ Known Issues
⚠️ Extended exposure to JAM ZONE Mode may result in fragmented time perception and unauthorized flashbacks.

🎭 Vocals may channel alternate timelines. Do not harmonize.

💣 Sub-bass now classified as "mildly weaponized" by three municipal codes.

🖥️ Visual rig can trigger low-level AI awareness.
Do not stare into the projections.

🧩 Every set increases entropy. Restoration not guaranteed.

🧠 About BLOATWARE
BLOATWARE is an outlaw live-techno unit formed in the ruins of an abandoned DSP factory. Performing only unstable builds, they live-code each set through scorched gear, illegal firmware, and a wall of flickering screens.

They don’t play songs.
They compile realities.

Install only in lawless zones.
Reboot never.

BLOATWARE.V4

🚀 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.

Voigtmann recorded live at the Earthling at Houghton 2024.

Recorded at Houghton - Voigtmann (2024)

Something to warm you up as the days get colder... my set from our June event in memory of our beloved resident and friend Alex T, live and direct from the basement of Wire. 

I played second to last and hadn't heard loud music in months so was about 12 sheets to the wind by this point - cue an unplanned smush of over excited mixing and super loose track selection 🙃

As always, a combination of long-forgotten oldskool tunes and tracks from mates with a couple of party bangers slipped in for good measure.

Enjoy!
