i didn't have any other income than chip-blabla for the past year or so. then again, instead of expensive light bulbs i have 8 televisions with white noise...

it's great to improvise live with. the name gives it away! what i like is to add loops on the fly and manipulate them - repitch, change loop points. record new audio while playing - be it external input or a channel in ableton. use the master-tempo-slow-down-thingee (like putting the finger on a vinyl playing) to sync manually with dodgy external hardware. the internal effects are hi-quality. the audio handling is good, even on windows. there is also some possibilities to generative things, which is probably out of this world these days when max/msp is supported. it also has a rudimentary support for video. i like that. you can do silly stuff like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_fisJYImDY

but it does take a while to get into the ableton way of thinking i suppose. it's a bit particular. it's like society! ableton is the new society. don't resist it, just pretend like you're doing something.

i can start a 3rd one, then we can have romantic fights.

reverb

here's a very sloppy mix i made with 50s60s70s electronic music mostly: http://www.mixcloud.com/goto80/oldelekt

apart from the stuff already mentioned, have a look at bruce haack and richard hayman (both quite schizo but not just noisy) and alexander robotnick (who made electro before it was invented). less listenable, i suppose, but still interesting is the first record with digital music: 'music from mathematics' (1962) -> http://websound.ru//issues/156_160/music_of_math.zip

i'm making a timeline of 'chipmusic' @ http://chipflip.wordpress.com/timeline which might have some things of interest too.
