it was a free cd, figured someone could upload a free cd. if it's going up for sale, nevermind - i did not know this was the case.

The CD from Pulsewave should be available soon as a paid download or cd/download combo.  Working out details at the moment.

Fantastic texture on this.  Great stuff.

This would be great only if the "time out" feature was also disabled.  As in, stuff stays new until you really view or hit the "mark all read" button.

Not exactly relevant but since a few people have mentioned interface and portability as issues (and I mostly agree) --

Protracker on PSP with this maybe?  Anybody tried it?

Decade
2009, text-based computer drawing for print.


Decade is a psychological landscape of my experience living in New York City from 1999–2009. It is a computer drawing executed in a text editor using the Unicode character set. This approach to creating graphics using text is commonly referred to as ASCII art and has a long history in the pirate software scene as a means for groups to tag releases with their unique signatures. Decade provides a symbolic framework for contextualizing and interpreting my body of work, acting as my own personal mark.

See this in it's proper form here:  http://www.datacorruption.org/index.php … rk/decade/

I attempted to post this on my Tumblr today only to have it get all janked up due to line breaks or ...?  Then I decided that it was interesting and highly appropriate for that to happen.  Also interesting that what would seem to be the most universal and simple form of computer art (ASCII) is completely at the mercy of the tool you're using to view it.

I hadn't looked at the "grown up" version of Noisetrekker before.  It does seem to, in fact, be the shit.  I can't seem to get the linux version to work, had to install the Windows one, no biggie.

It's the self-contained-ness of trackers like this that I really really like.  Like ADT2 or Fami or other trackers that are a front-end to a specific synth engine.  Wordy words blah.

August 7th most likely be in Louisville, KY.
August 8th in Nashville, TN @ The End

Awwww yeah!  Do you know the full lineup for these?

See there's some tracker ignorance right there.  At what point do you need a sample library?   Have one folder with a few drums sounds in (just like NES guys do with their DPCM stuff or LSDJ guys with their kits) and make the rest of the instruments as you need it.  You don't need any kind of library to write chip modules, heck you don't need to have any prepared samples at all.

Not to start but all those hand drawn waves and stuff will continue to accumulate and eventually you'd want to use some instruments in more than one module so you end up with a "library"... that's just my experience in the short periods of times I've tried to use sample trackers.

I've tried several times to get the hang of Noisetrekker 'cause I want those 303s smile
Never feels comfortable.  I think because my puny brain can't handle all the key combos and trying to do everything with the mouse is annoying as shit.

The main reason I don't do music at home on my laptop is because I get so tired sitting in front of it while working. That's when handhelds become so refreshing.

That's really the only thing that keeps me away from AdlibTracker.  I should look into re-getting a cheapo laptop.
