VOTE WITH A BRICK

Municipal elections in Finland are over. So here is my "tribute" to the big election day. Track is called Vote with a Brick and it is the very first noise track of Salakapakka Sound System. It dates back to 2005 and it is very primitive improvised track. Edited and remixed version will be featured on full noise CD-R "Kallokontrolli" later this year (if I´m lucky).

Gear-a-holic

Just bought myself Microkorg. I´ve never been familiar with synths and this little gadget has plenty of parameters to toggle with so I guess it doesn´t bore me easily.

Here is the first track I made with Microkorg (and slight editing). It doesn´t sound like your typical techno/dance shit that´s often made by synths (for some reason it reminds me of some Coil song?). This track will be part of my ever lasting project "60 Minutes" which will be collection of sixty tracks, each lasting exactly one minute.

Downloads elsewhere

If you don´t feel like downloading whole cd´s, you can download few songs here. Unfortunately they are only 128/160 kbps (due to limited space).

Seuraajat/The Other

Shameless self promotion continues. Psychological short film with yours truly on sound and music can be seen here.

More FM3 Buddha Machine related stuff

Just noticed that there exists also this FM3 Buddha Machine related album called In An Expression Of Form by Masuran (which used to call themselves Royal Trans). It´s free download so give it a try.

Funny thing

Just recently noticed that there is also death/black/progressive metal band in Finland called Ikuinen Kaamos. This blog does not have any connections with that band but anyway go check them out here or there.

Having fun with toy synth

I am a proud father of little girl who was born in february 2008. I just found her a kids toy synthesizer at a local flea market for 5 euros. Now it seems that I am the one who enjoys playing it more. It has these ridiculous cheap unrealistic sounds like piano, guitar, banjo (my favorite), flute etc. There´s also buttons for funny little sounds like frog, dog, bird... But hey, that´s not all. There is also a set of pre-programmed rhythms like rock, slow rock, waltz, tango etc. which you can slow down or speed up. The best of these pre-set rhythms is called 16 bit which is a killer low fidelity-trash-dirrrttty electro beat! (loop sample here) Drive it through distortion effect at 110% volume and you got a nice punky disco beat.

I´ll probably use this marvellous little toy somehow in my future projects, unless it breaks down before that. My daughter´s playing style is more punk than mine, meaning she likes to beat it real hard.

Wanker in commando mask ruined my day

I was supposed to post more stuff but late happenings took all of my time and energy so more stuff coming soon.

Tuesday was a sad day for Finland. Another random school shooting incident in a year. Previous shooter was a big fan of KMFDM (one of their songs could be heard on his YouTube posts), now this time this idiot called himself Wumbscut86 on YouTube. Not necessarily a good publicity for those bands. Fans can choose the artists they like but unfortunately artists cannot choose their fans.
Stupid fucker couldn´t even shoot himself properly (died only after few hours of shooting himself). Where do these morons come from? Incidents like these piss me off.
