So here’s my interpretation of Le Prolifique’s track I Love You, Oh So Much, to be released as part of their remix LP in your nearest high street iTunes Music Store around the middle of June.
It’s a little bit different from my usual stuff but then, eh, maybe not (oh) so much. You know how you’re not supposed to put large amounts of reverb on kick drums? Well, um, ah, yeah, about that…
It’s also another one of my dabblings where there is no clear consensus on the genre to which it belongs. Suggestions so far encompass house, progressive house, tech-house, ambient and IDM (people still use that term?). Not that it really matters, but feel free to weigh in with your own opinion - I seriously haven’t got the foggiest any more.

Dammit, Firstman, why do you have to die on me?
Hug harder, Mrs Kitchire Goombah. Maybe love is the cure.

Recorded this two weeks ago as part of the SoundCloud monthly acid pattern.
I’ve got to admit that I enjoy hanging out with the oscilloscope worms: underground, dirty, messy, wilfully unpredictable, surviving on scraps and detritus, just doing your own thing trying to ignore the continual heavy pressure from above.
Surviving without claps is a bit tough, though. Worms have no hands, y’see.

I figured it was about time I updated my answer ‘phone message.
Who can identify the drum machine?

Don’t tell anyone, but the basslines in this were made by vocoding raw oscillators against 808 and Simmons tom patterns (plus the predictable deluge of processing).
Recorded live very late last night at Low Brow Eye Labs.

“Welcome”
I had no Internet access Thursday evening so after staring out of the window and at the ceiling for a bit I retreated into the studio for a play around.
Some predictably bassy techno is what resulted after finding Hainbach’s cool Maxtone “calculator piano” samples on my hard drive awaiting exploitation. The tempo is 123.58 BPM for obvious Fibonacci reasons.
Recorded live at Low Brow Eye Labs, Thursday 13th October, 2011.
Kudos to:
- Hainbach for the Maxtone “calculator piano” samples
- Doepfer Dark Energy semi-modular analogue synthesizer
- Roland Alpha Juno synthesizer
- Simmons SDS IV analogue drum synthesizer

- Allen & Heath X:one 92 DJ mixer
- Kenton Control Freak (x 2) and Spin Doctor MIDI controllers

“Thank you”
