"It's the summer holidays in the Antipodes and I was feeling guilty about my gear that hadn't been recorded in a while, so I added some effects and hit play on a MIDI composition from earlier in the year."

"The Roland Boutiques are playing the music and I've experimented with generating lyrics, using a live version of the cut-up technique.

Tristan Tzara, sometime Surrealist then Dadaist, popularised the idea of cutting up newspapers to generate artworks.

William S. Burroughs thought the process could be a magical ritual, revealing hidden meaning.

His idea has been used extensively in popular music, including Bowie, Radiohead and Beck.

For me it's a kind of remixing, as I've taken five-syllable lines and randomly selected their arrangement.

To make the results seem more at home in the mix, I've run my voice through a vocoder."

"In the video you can see I've used a Kawai drum machine circuit bent by Diabolical Devices with a King Capitol synth and an Atomosynth Mochika XL going into an Eletro-Harmonics Q-Tron envelope filter.

In Ableton Live I've applied gates, particularly Audio Damage BigSeq, as well as reverbs including Valhalla Shimmer."

This one in via Jason, aka bassling, who had the following to say:

"You can see I've played the drums, then recorded the MIDI through a Roland TR-707.

These drums are accompanied by an Atomosynth Mochika XL and King Capitol Punishment Utopia Synth, the latter has a little Valhalla Shimmer reverb added in the box and I've used Ozone 7 to master.
