When I was a youngster in the late 1980s, I formed an Amiga game dev team with 2 friends.
Before making games, we started by trying to sell game music that used minimal RAM, made with our music editor SIDmon.
To promote our game music, this energetic music module was composed by our musician Ramon Braumuller. The file, including tiny sampled sounds, is only 22 kilobytes.
The FSA #Faircamp site is online! There's a couple tweaks to be made, for example, I seem to have gotten at least one release date wrong (copy/paste strikes again), but nothing I'm worried about fixing right away.
Support is always appreciated, but feel free to just listen or take advantage of the "soft" paywall too.
No gods, no masters and absolutely no fucking algorithms. Just pure, undiluted essence of weirdo, rendered in musical form. Start with Psychedelic Ghost Stories, then dip into Metaphysical Shitposting once you've got the taste for it.
Anyone know of a fedi or at least free-ish alternative to SoundCloud? I like posting my stuff for archival and for whatever folks might enjoy listening to my brand of self indulgent improv, but I just have no desire to engage with that site anymore. What are the cool Indieweb kids using these days?
Have you been checking out @radiofreefedi New Year's Day 24 Global Stream Parade?...
It's happening right now and @newellijaytv watch party presentation of "Santa Conquers The Martians" (that should interest some of the #Monsterdon and #CultFilm peeps)
🎹 So I am in a #Cyberpunk kind of mood 😅 here is a preview of my piece of music, it's not finished yet!! I would love to know your thoughts/feedback!! 😊💜
Go with Metaphysical Shitposting if you like to float on waves of noisy ambient drone spiked with occasional #experimental#ModularSynth#soundscape freakout ; stick with Psychedelic Ghost Stories if you prefer a little more structure to your wizard #synth anthems and weed accompaniment.
One year ago… I thought it’d be fun to connect with other people in Los Angeles that were into all things synths. Since then, I’ve made a ton of great friends and have had a blast.
Today, we’re celebrating a year of doing this: 12 performers (me included), giveaways beer and interactive synth experiences.
Hope to see some of you today: 3p to 9pm at Common Space Brewery in Hawthorne, CA.
Alright #GearSquad, I want your thoughts. One of my friends is selling off his synths and pedal collections to get a more focused setup. I'm thinking of nabbing a few for myself to add to my own excessive collection. 😆
What I want to know: what would everyone else choose to grab before he sells them off?
OK, my #FairCamp site is live. As most of my existing music is CC BY-SA, full-quality downloads have mostly been inflicted on Archive.org already, but you can at least stream everything and there are links to #Archive and #BandCamp.
The Yamaha DX7 synth celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. It's quite an influential musical instrument.
In 1986, the DX7 synth preset "E. Piano 1" was "present on 39% of the Billboard Hot 100 number one hit singles, 40% of the country number one hit singles and a staggering 61% of R&B hit singles".
If you don't have a bandcamp collection these are pretty useless to you, however, fret not, you can jump over to my BC and pop zero in the payfield to cop whatever you want.
If you are reading this in the future and the codes for the release you dig are all claimed, hmu and I'll see if I can sort you out.
This is my album “Transmission Received From Galaxy Nine Nine” which was released in May this year.
It is a free download.
Here are some codes if you wish to add it to your collection:
