Heartbreaker Mix

Three tracks exploring the electronic spectrum, focused around spaced out vocals drenched in effects. Brought together with lush synths, classic drum machines, deep basslines, and emotional acid melodies.

Recording from my closing DJ slot at the hybrid set for the Haze: Sonic Embodiment event. Featuring lots of my fave deep progressive tracks, alongside live drums and acid from my hardware.

Haze: Sonic Embodiment - Hybrid Live Set

🗂️ CHANGELOG.md – BLOATWARE
Live Techno Band Repository
Version: v7.4.0-beta
Codename: "CPU_MELTDOWN"

🆕 Added
💥 New Track: boot_loop_lullaby()
Composed entirely during a locked-in jam session inside the RED ROOM of the Llandoger Trow.

🎛️ RED ROOM Mode
Engages dim lighting, detuned synths, and irreversible filter sweeps. Once triggered inside the Llandoger, exit is... unlikely.

🦴 Subsonic Kick Layering v2.0
Kicks now hit harder than your 2009 heartbreak.
Tuned to resonate with both ribcages and pub floorboards.

🌀 Tempo Morph Engine
Enables smooth glides from 90–150 BPM with AI-driven BPM warping.
Ideal for sunrise-to-sunset set transitions without tempo whiplash.

🎛️ Real-Time Modular Synth API
Now supports live hot-swapping of patch cables mid-performance. No undo. No regrets.

🔁 Sequencer Randomizer
Created a chaos engine for melodies that only makes sense at 4AM.

🌐 LAN-Based Crowd Feedback Module
Audience phone tilt controls the reverb decay of the next drop.
(Experimental. Likely to brick network.)


🔧 Changed
🔊 Upgraded all kick drums from "heavy" to "existential crisis."

🔄 Loop quantization adjusted to almost on beat, per artistic decision.

💽 Switched from Ableton to a self-written DAW named bloatOS (written in Bash, crashes gloriously).

💡 Lightshow protocol now syncs with MIDI CC chaos mode – no strobes, just seizures.


🐛 Fixed
🪲 Eliminated MIDI feedback loop that was summoning eldritch tones.

🎹 Resolved issue where synths would auto-trigger during soundcheck.

🧠 Memory leak in vocalist's vocoder now only affects 12% of lyrics.


⚠️ Known Issues
🔴 Activating RED ROOM Mode may cause audience-wide déjà vu, time dilation, or unexpected enlightenment.

🎭 Vocals processed live may include uninvited voices. Do not attempt to engage.

🔊 Bassline can corrupt venue foundations in low-EQ environments.

🖥️ Visual rig GPU overheats after third encore — fans recommended (PC or human).

🪫 Once the set starts, you cannot exit. There is no ESC key.


🧠 About BLOATWARE
BLOATWARE is a hardware-heavy, CPU-melting, live-coded techno collective born from a failed firmware update and a warehouse fire. Specializing in unstable builds, they perform fully improvised sets using overclocked synths, modular gear, and haunted drum machines.

Every gig is a cold boot. Every beat a stack overflow.
Install at your own risk.

🆕 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.

⚡ NeuroBass Cascade
Basslines now respond to stress signals from urban infrastructure.
Skyscrapers hum in sympathy. Frogs nod in rhythm.

📶 Spinal-Link Sync Grid
Crowd biosignals are now hardwired into modulation parameters.
Moshpit emotion spikes trigger phase transitions.

🧪 Recursive Groove Mutators
Loop clusters now devour older patterns to spawn new anomalies.
Legacy grooves scream as they're overwritten.

🎚️ JAMLOCK State
Engages full-station override in Synth Chamber Zero.
Controls fuse into one molten interface. Escape is optional.

🚫 Unsanctioned Oscillator Algorithms
All synths recompiled using malware poetry.
Breaks patents and probably time itself.

👁️‍🗨️ HoloFrogeye Visual Codec
Frogs now control one-third of the AV system.
Their eyes record everything. Especially you.

🔧 Recalibrated
🦿 Kick dynamics now bend to gravitational shifts from nearby hovercars.

🧠 Vocal emissions filtered through ex-lover simulation model.
Emotional outbursts now considered rhythmic elements.

🌀 Removed metric time alignment. Groove now bends to frog croaks and crowd density.

⚠️ Existing Anomalies

🎤 Vocals might speak with voices from obsolete OS versions.
Do not respond to them.

Avoid mirrors post-set.

🔩 Each performance alters the firmware of reality.
Downgrade is impossible.

🧬 About BLOATWARE
BLOATWARE is a renegade techno construct birthed in the backchannel of a forgotten synth cult. They write code in frog-infested wetlands and compile soundwaves straight into the bloodstream of the glitch-industrial undernet.

Reboot irrelevant.
