Title: Computer At Sea album
Post by: computer at sea on March 01, 2011, 08:08:24 PM

Hey folks,

I've got an EP posted over at www.computeratsea.com (http://www.computeratsea.com) that features a ton of bent gear.  With the exception of one bass line, every sound on the recording is from either a circuit bent instrument, a handmade synth, or chiptune hardware.  It's a little poppier than I'm guessing tastes run around this corner of the internet, but that's where I'm at these days.  Hope you like it!

Galen

Pavement meets Download meets Add N to X, nice  ;)

I recognise that glitch on the start of track 3, its a talking teacher isn't it?

Thanks, Paul! 
That is, indeed a talking teacher at the start of the third track.  Other bent gear on the album includes (in no particular order) SK-1, SA-1, MT-140, PT-87, Omnichord OM-27, Yamaha PSS-11, Speaks, Alesis SR-16, and a bunch of other stuff that's currently eluding my recall.

wow vinyl how retro!  very 80's just like the technology i suppose.  I used to be a big vinyl fan, i've about 1500 records, had to stop buying due to the usual space limitations that my life revolves around.  Good to see someone's doing a circuit bent vinyl good luck with it.

Thanks, folks!  The test presses arrived and sound much better than the MP3s.  I think the whole thing will be together by the end of April.

Dylan, the records are going for ten bucks and release show is on May 20th at Geno's.  You can also send me a message and pick one up at my studio when they're ready.

Nice! Good work sir, and good luck with the release.

I like that Paul can spot machines by the way they glitch.  :D
