this is an audacity glitch of space- don't super love how it turned out, but it was my first audaciglitch so i figured i'd put it here wink

What are you talking about? that's beautiful! I much prefer broad stroke, colourful bends to sliced up ones

This looks awesome! How do you people do this? Looks cool, would give it a try if I knew how it worked

The most basic way is to take an uncompressed image file (.bmp is a good place to start) and put it into word pad. Then save and add .bmp back on to the file.

There are more complicated ways involving using audacity to effect the raw image data.

I think this'll be pretty cool if I work in a lot more frames, smooth it out and and slow it down.


Seeing as data bending died, I figured I'd get ahead of the curve for when it makes a comeback.

Cool hunters do this shit. Remember when Kanye did welcome to heartbreak and made datamoshing mainstream? It's always just the surface elements catered to the mass market.

It's a case of either giving up or hunkering down and seeing what happens. An the plus side, in a few months data bending will be old and out of fashion rather than ignored and unfashionable.

Big fan of the postal service. They were quite ahead of their time with Give Up, and they've always coloured my own approach to electronic music. Now that Give Up has had 10 years to percolate through peoples subconscious and owl city so successfully ripped them off a few years ago, we'll see how people react.

First time I heard an owl city song I thought: damn, postal service got really lazy.

I remember at the time there were a lot of myspace musicians trying to rip them off (there was one called "Life Coach" who did a great song called reject rebound. Even ripped off the logo) But I was really surprised how long it took a band like owl city to trip them off and get popular.

I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't this.

That was awesome! The FM bass on pachinko devil is exactly my kind of thing.

Since updating I've noticed that one of my unmodded Gameboy colors now makes a slight pitched beep when two kit samples are played simultaneously. It's a European pokemon one (pikachu+pichu), I looked inside the battery compartment to compare it to one that didn't make the noise. the board says "1-2" they other says "1-5". No idea if that's relevant to anyone. I'll compare versions later to see if it used to happen and I just didn't notice.

Doesn't happen on my prosound DMG or the other ones I tested it on.

Just patched up this and it's cool not having to subtly mask the Kit's as much as I used to. I love that this got implemented as fast as it did. I love this shit.

I'm not sure why it's apparently controversial for a girl to want to find other girls in a community that is quite clearly male dominated.
The fact that the mods had to delete a bunch of sexist comments early in the thread is a pretty decent indicator of why some girls might want to find other girls. It's not asking for special treatment or anything, it was just a question to help find other female chip musicians.

It's easy to just go "Who cares, I just want to know if they're a good artist or not" and think you're being smart, when in fact you're missing out a lot of issues and over simplifying. Walter b. gentle said something about a girl DJ dressing down to appear like less of a "girl DJ" and more of a "DJ", but that assumes you can't be a DJ and a girl, or that normal DJ's must dress masculine. You don't hear about male DJ's dressing less masculine to appear more like a "normal DJ"

the other day I was talking with a sound designer/engineer about that you can make complex skrillex-ish sounds using FM, he is going to die with this. Awesome stuff, last track is my absolutely favourite.


Most of the Midrange bass in skrillex's first EP was done with FM8. Although reportedly the sound design was all done by a label-mate of his.

I've got one, but I've not soldered it up yet. It's been a few months since my soldering warrior days, not sure if I'm up to it...

If you find the the right picture you can get some really nice colours.It's a shame they look so grainy zoomed in. Might just have to find enormous pictures and then shrink down the results

I say this as someone who loves shitty hardcore recordings.

Don't pan everything to the right.
