New Music
So lately, I’ve been a scanning through Bandcamp for new music. It was a resolution of sorts to avoid purchasing CDs, LPs and DVDs where I could because I already have heaps. Bandcamp is fairly decent in providing a broad range of music (despite the weird checkout system). Monocube – BLUE DUSK RED DAWN I’ve…

New Music – Void
At one point, I noticed that it was about nine months that I uploaded anything to my soundcloud account. The above is the last of three new uploads, using new kit that I purchased this year. All of these tracks are made in situ, recording as I make the track. The main reason I do…

New Gear
After purchasing the Pocket Piano back in January, I’ve been getting more sound-related gear, including an amp, mixer, a delay pedal. The last piece of kit is a Critter & Guitari Kaleidoloop which I saw a number of years ago, but never picked up until now. So now I guess I have to put something…

In The Post
Some holiday purchases I made over the break had finally come in through the post. First is the Pocket Piano by Critter & Guitari. It’s a fun little noisemaker with a few features, making it a neat starting synth. Though at some point, I know I’m going to be dropping money on a Korg analog…

Buddha Machine Session 2

Music Update
Spartak – Selected Recordings from 2010 – 2013 It’s been a while since I heard Spartak play in the Pot Belly, listening to their laptop-fed, guitar drone against abstract drums. I heard they were going to play at YAH, and I was fortunate enough to stumble upon their show and pick up a copy of…

Buddha Machine Session 1
Recently I recorded a session with my slowly growing collection of Buddha Machines. My set up is really simple: I run a Buddha Machine through a Memory Man looping pedal and then through a turntable mixer which then goes to my stereo. Everything you will listen to was recorded onto my phone. The result is…

Buddha Machines!
Yesterday I got new Buddha Machines and new Buddha Machine-related albums. The Buddha Machine was something introduced to me about three years ago now. Originally I saw it in a friend’s bedsit, sitting on a shelf looking like a cheap plastic radio. He noticed I was looking at it, and explained the entire concept of…
