Happy 808 day!

Update: actually... make that Happy 808 month!
via The Experimentalists Anonymous
"Today is a truly special day in music history. Not only is it 8/08, but it's also 8/08/08, which only happens once in a thousand years! For those of you who haven't caught on yet, 808 is the model number of Roland's famous Transistor Rhythm 808 drum machine. So let's take a day to celebrate the awesomeness that is the 808!"

check out The Experimentalists Anonymous for more including an 808 sample set.

pARM Demo 1 - 6

Description for Demo 5 which captures most of it:
"This is demo for analog synth that I made for myself.
There is no special for analog synth. it's just a music. Enjoy it, Please.

This special effect is based on "4th demention" by "Zbig Ryczynski". I wrote it by perl for this project.
I saw his work for over 15 years ago. I had make my mind that I will use this effect in my work, someday. My dream comes true there!

I played all musical instruments in this music. But I didn't mix them down at all.
"masa921" who is my friend mixed them down for this video. He done also it in monaural for youtube. We got that it needs some special treatment to reproduce in monaural. that's amazing!"
