"Working Lurker" [mp3 removed -- please listen on Bandcamp]
Beats: Elektron Machinedrum (these were not made by the previous owner -- they are step-keyed by yrs truly)
Softsynths: Loomer Aspect, Calf Monosynth
Recorded and arranged in Ardour (Linux version)
Am a few songs shy of the ten needed for Generic PC (Vol. 6), so this is the next installment.
Generic PC (Vols. 1-5) are available for modest prices on Bandcamp.
I made these images as cover photos for my newest music release, Generic PC (Vols. 1-5) on Bandcamp. 50 songs from 2016 -- please buy some, for the music, or, if you prefer, to support the efforts of the last blogger on earth.
These aren't old PCs but rather, a form of personal rebellion against the "design award" aesthetic for computer hardware, popularized by the late, unlamented Steve Jobs.
Just stick some wires in them and they work; they don't have to look "cool."
"Exhilarating Aspect" [mp3 removed -- please listen on Bandcamp]
Recorded and arranged in Ardour (Linux version)
Featuring: Elektron Machinedrum, Loomer Aspect softsynth (as a VST in Ardour), Calf Fluidsynth with E-Mu Orbit soundfont kit (also as a VST in Ardour).
Most beats on the Machinedrum were "found" (i.e., left in ROM by the previous owner). I tweaked them quite a bit, but, hat tip to GYS for making them.
An upbeat song (after the first few bars) to celebrate [see private Facebook group].

Some beats on the Machinedrum were "found" (i.e., left in ROM by the previous owner). I tweaked them quite a bit, but, hat tip to GYS for making them.
Field recording: fingernails drumming on refrigerator butter compartment, refrigerator hum.
"Three Claps Dub" [mp3 removed -- please listen on Bandcamp]
