micro-Mµ-tech

A Patch/Tone list for Korg M01 / M01D (for Nintendo DS) is available to download as a pdf from the SOUNDkiosk website.

The first micro:µ:tech album is now available on Bandcamp. I think of them as post-minimalist micro-symphonies.

I Am a Nice Pretty Girl from the spoken word opera SPAM Monsters. Texts from unsolicited emails. Title, SPAM Monsters, by Groc.

There are two new Tainted SOUNDscapes on the website. Both recorded in Lincoln, UK.

If you haven't heard of the OP-1 synthesizer then here's the place to look for a general introduction. Made by the wonderful Teenage Engineering in Sweden, I've been working with it for a few months and found the scope of the instrument is pretty astounding!

I've finished a SPAM Monster! It has a spoken voice part (based on unsolicited email) through mini Kaoss Pad 2. Then Kaossilator 2 and OP-1 cranked endless sequencer part.

I'm working with Electroplankton for the Nintendo DS. Combined with Kaossilators I'm producing some interesting music with random elements.

The tainting often involves use of battery operated synths.

Why is it that the purists are so against this?

I'm working with four Korg DS-10 'games' (Nintendo DS) as part of the massive Waterways of Lincoln project. These 'Aubades' are for micro-Mµ-tech and live piano. An Aubade is a musical composition of the morning.

3rd Symphony. This is the score of the Korg M01 (Nintendo DS) part. The other instruments are Kaossilator 2 and Monotron Delay.

So I went for Korg Volca Beats after some experiments.

I'm now experimenting with a rhythm track. Possibly Korg Volca Beats; possibly ims-20 on the iPad.

Symphony 2 - The Notes

New track on SoundCloud using just the Korg Volca Bass.

Angel Coffee House, Lincoln UK

The music, created entirely using Korg Kaossilators with Kaoss pads, will be a micro-mu-tech project.
