My New Hardware for use with OctaMED S.S.

[XDelusion]

I need a new mixer anyhow, some of my gear is really dated, and yes I could use the gain to resolve a few issues I'm having, besides half my input ports are failing me so I can see this mixer dying all together sometime soon.

Minator: I loved the track! Dark and moody! You should keep at it man!!!

Spihunter: I made it through all the material you uploaded and I am very impressed! Such talent from the Amiga community, everyone!

I believe the 1994 track is my favorite. It brings a lot of things to mind/heart.

So what that an Amiga on the opening drums?

x303: I'm looking more for Studio Gear, the whole DJ scene makes me ill to my stomach. My buddy is a DJ, and while he is very talented and really a great guy, he has given some terrible advice on gear as it all seems to be nothing but machines that make quick easy dance beats, but can't really be used for much else.
As for me, I have no interest in making people dance. If what I put out happens to make a person feel like dancing, that that is purely accidental side effect.

x303: No of course we MUST communicate, if everyone was just like me, I'd grow bored as hell. I prefer to have a world full of people with their own unique varieties, peculiarities, and this and that. Once everything and everyone becomes the same, or a mere rehash or something or someone else, well then we might as well just kill our selves hugh?

As for that Church organ, that is the bomb! There is a local thift store with an old church organ that I really want to snag, but alas I want to relocate so now is not the best time.

Minator: 2600 will play games, and the audio output will be better.

As for my "musick" I'm purely experimental, though I have been known to lay out a few techno-ish tracks, though they are not House Tekno, so my conscious is clear!

But ya, most of my stuff is experimental. I was going to upload a few of my older tracks, but again forgot the damn things. Aside of experimental, I also have worked on some unorthodoxed Hip-Hop beats for my long lost brother as he just so happens to rap, and just so happens to have a background and set of obscure interests much like my own. The only down side is we have found it hard to make the time to put his lyrics together with my tracks, but I can at least upload my side of things.

As for influences, well they are all over the place. I love synth pop, classic 70's/80's industrial/goth. Pink Floyd, The Legendary Pink Dots, Beethoven, 20's - 40's era musick. Musick with that old negro wisdom, chip tunes, classic Country (Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline), Hip-Hop (not rap, not MTV or Radio Hip-Hop, but HIP-HOP the shit with street sensibility and wisdom of the ancients. Umm... there's a lot of influences, and not all of them merely musick related, as I've been influenced by the fact that you can use Musick and Video as a means of artistic expression, to help communicate where words and mere logic fail....it would just be easier for me to upload the stuff.

On top of all this I do dabble with video editing, so I'm not going to release a CD, but a DVD instead which will tie all my tracks together into one long video.

Here's a couple examples of some of my older work video wise:

Beauty is the Enemy (Musick by cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy, and Words by Genesis P. Orridge of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV). Video by Me.

Beautiful World: Music by Devo, video by Me. My first video ever.

Grrrrr.... I can't get my old songs uploaded on here because they are all too large. Well it looks like I'm going to have to sign up on some site and upload them there.

Any advice on a free site that does not degrade the quality of your work and is easy to navigate?

I saw that you won the auction, congrats! I'll try to get that out to you tomorrow. I'll pack in some extras since your an Amiga friend.

I feel about the same about musick, that's why I do not refer to my self as a musician. I just play with sound scapes and nothing more, though I am trying to learn to play Piano and read musick as there is a lot in my head that I've no idea how to make manifest.

I will say though that I admire both classical, real time musick, as well as modern sequenced material. I feel both have their charm and their use. I.E. Have you ever looked into the psychology of sound and color? Subliminals, frequencies, and this and that? Very interesting field... Those short hypnotic loops can be quite effective.

EDIT: Oh and the video clip comes from Monty Python's Meaning of Life movie.



DS anyone?

Mmm, this looks like it would come in handy too, or something like it anyhow...

Of course it would be nice if it happens to work in MorphOS or Amiga OS, but it's very doubtful.

minator: Congrats on the new gear, both mine and the korg! And thank you for funding mine!!!

[XDelusion]

That is bad ass!!! But I don't deserve such a machine. No talent. :/
