"I finished up the first SammichSID today. It wan't much work any more just installing the panels. Here you can see a picture of the back panel with the paper still on it. If you click on the picture you can see a larger version and read the text that is engraved in it. You can also clearly see the C64 style power switch which I still think is a nice retro-touch..."
"I wanted to see how far I could take the recordings of bees into the realm of music. The bee produces about 200-230 wing flaps pr. second, which is enough to generate a nice, rich sounding buzz. I recorded a bunch of bee sounds and manipulated them through a variety of tools (including timefreezers, delays, filters, glitch modules etc). I then decided to add some more human elements to it (vocals, guitars, grooves etc) and wrapped it up by adding full symphony orchestra and choirs on it during the end.
Besides the bee sounds - the majority of samples are coming from the tonehammer.com sample catalog.
Hope you enjoy it. Einstein once predicted that the human race would survive no more then 4 years after the extinction of bees due to their keystone role in the entire ecosystem. So peace out to all the bees and bumbles.
"The latest Monome Community Remix Project is underway and I began my work with a monome app that I've never used before. It's called "xor".
Once I'd figured out the basics of the app I selected three samples that were semi-in-tune with each other. Then I recorded a jam with each of the samples in xor and filmed the results with my camera. After I finished recording, I imported the video and audio into final cut pro and edited each performance down to about 2-3 minutes.
Then, I basically threw caution to the wind and layered them on top of each other willy-nilly, without any concern for whether they'd match at all. Either way it didn't matter to me. This was my experiment. I would see the results at the very end.
It ended up turning out pretty cool and interesting. There are moments where they all work together making interesting rhythms and there are times where they clash.

Cheap and patchable digital glitchy sound synthestizer made with a CMOS 4093 NAND gate. Unprocessed audio from mini speaker recorded with a microphone. More info, build your own, PCB layout, part list, manual etc... janvannuenen.com/index.php?page=nanonand
Schematics based on info found on the internet and in Nicolas Collins book handmade electronic music, mixed with some of my ideas."
" A prototype sequence made with my modular synthesizer, a Little Big Muff distorsion pedal, a Boss DD-7 digital delay and a Holy Grail Plus reverb pedal. Kind of melodic stuff here. I'm currently building a modular sequencer that will perform better than this simple one."
"The Syle Green Filter pedal. This is a very interesting and fun filter with a ton of weird sounds- not your traditional envelope filter. More like a synth pedal, with a fuzz included in the filter sound. This pedal is used and is cosmetically in excellent condition. I have noticed that when using this with my active basses there is a "popping" sound when the filter engages. The sound is not present when I used my passive instruments. I'm not sure if this is a manufacturing defect or a design flaw, and because of this I am selling the pedal AS-IS."
