Creative mutations… and squinting drunky?

creativity, music, technology, rantings..

My poor neglected blog

There’s my silly new avatar. Gravatar, rather? Yay. Weird.

I have too many social networking commitments out there. But they’re finding their place. Sadly, this particular little armpit of my interests isn’t really getting much attention, but I never really intended it to be that way anyway.

Let’s see: Here I randomly post things, that have little to do with me or what I do, but sometimes happen to be. There are known knowns, and unknown unknown knowns… etc

Then there’s my Tumblr. Which seems like an unnecessary blog meets twitter thing, but I like it because I just have to click an applet to post things. No copy + paste for Twitter. That works.

Next, my Kontainer. This is mostly semi-personal, in-motion type of content that I’ll just post randomly. Pictures/videos from places. Jesus could I be any more nondescript about it? Yea it’s a cool idea though, and I hope to do more of it. It’ll basically be all the video stuff I don’t want to dirty my precious YouTube channel with, since it’s so goddamned cherished.

Of course: my Twitter. Even more random. But connecting the world through opinions, articles and redundant posts from the other sites you already follow me on. THAT YOU ALREADY FOLLOW ME ON.

YouTube.

The Play Zappa YouTube Project (still a zygote)

My ever present Facebook page. This you need to ‘liiiike’, as I’m pretty consistent over there. I haven’t really made an effort to funnel people there yet, but… it exists. And it’s basically the hairy drain that aggregates all the rest of this. OK, not really. Just my music/creative mutation stuff. But don’t friend my personal FB page, I hate ignoring requests and feel a touch douchey but I keep that to just people I know now within a personal or professional capacity. “It’s not you, it’s me…

Reverb nation: here. I will keep this updated. Along with SoundCloud… which is not updated at present. I, of course, have an atrophied Myspace page, but you know what? I’m not ready to let go. It’s just not updated.

Whew. Feels good to get that off my chest.

In other news, the good sir Mr. Chris Stambaugh has informed me that my bridge has came in:

Very good. Progress is earned through painfully persistant patience.

What else… yes. I haven’t done an 8-Bit remix in a while. I fear that I’ll begin to start bleeding subscribers soon. No, not yet. I have ATTN #5 about 67% there. Along with a few others. They’ll start dropping once I begin uploading bass videos again. Or not. We’ll see.

Oh sweet Netflix. What wondrously depressing documentary on how the US is fucking the world do you have for my viewing pleasure this evening? The Age of Stupid? Very good.

Bye.

Native Instruments – The Mouth

I’m writing as I’m watching… thoughts in motion…

Hmm… yet another “user-friendly” instrument farted out by NI. OK, so it’s a sort of a vocoder…? Yet another vocoder… sounds mildly functional. You could use this in the Reaktor player, but the real bonus would be in looking under the hood in Reaktor itself…

I dig vocoders, but there are so many out there… to really make it sound good, you (read: I) need a lot of knob-twiddling to make it sound good. You want something done right, yea?l

I’m guessing they’re pricing this around $79 – $99.

OK – the arpeggiator could add some interesting parallel processing. Always nice to get some audio –> synth action going on after the fact. But it sounds about as reliable is the tracking is capable of …

Man. They’re really dragging their heels with respect to Reaktor development… Procrastinators!

Here are the last few 8-bit remixes I forgot to post:

I’m trying to maintain my YouTube channel, Facebook, this blog, my Kontain page and .. my relatively normal life behind the scenes. So far I’ve neglected this corner of the interweb a bit. Here are the last few 8-Bit remixes I’ve done recently:
