I love feeling this evil…

After buying the iphone, I searched out the best way to arrange music on the damn thing. Right now, there aren’t too many options, but the most in-depth applications I found, noise.io and beatmaker, seemed like they would combine to give me enough features…

Although these programs are about 10 and 20 bucks each, they were worth it… Limited in comparison to a computer and a DAW, but still powerful for what it is.

I spent a couple hours learning how use them, and this is what my learning curve sounded like:

I’ll probably go back and rework it later (its a part of a larger piece probably destined to be From Exile material)

Onset played another show, this time with Stephen Dimmick on drums. Ohmpark has posted some pics here

Ben and I started a side project today, because we have a show in 2 weeks:

ONSET

Visit http://www.myspace.com/welcometotheonset for a short preview…

I’ll upload the final recordings here when they get done.

From Exile record still going; should be mastered by September and out shortly after that… Shows in late September, we hope…

I would like to find more details about this… Some people seem to think its fake, but I doubt it.

This time; in German!?

“Hier mein erster Versuch, dem Korg Kaossilator Klänge zu entlocken. Hab mich noch nicht ganz durchgehört, aus dem Grund sind ein paar Stellen konfus geraten. Entschuldigt meine hässlichen Finger.”
“This is my first attempt, the Korg Kaossilator to elicit sounds. Do I have not quite durchgehört, on the grounds are a few bodies being confused. Apologies my ugly finger.”

“Die Sounds von einem alten SK-1, veredelt mit Garage-Bands eigenen Effekten. Ein Roland S-330 sowie ein paar Apple-Loops sind auch vorhanden. Nicht zu vergessen den Korg Kaossilator. Trotz fehlendem MIDI-Sync läuft die kleine Tischhupe erstaunlich tight. enjoy!”
“The sounds of an old SK-1, finishing with garage bands own effects. A Roland S-330 and a few Apple Loops are also available. Not to forget the Korg Kaossilator. Despite missing MIDI Sync runs a small table horn surprisingly tight. Enjoy!”

So, since my last post about the Korg Kaossilator and the short demo track I finished, there has been a full-length album put up for free that uses only the Korg Kaossilator (and Ableton Live for recording).

You can download for free it here:
