“Squeerly Quarky Bahks” – new track featuring the Stupid Box

Squeerly Quarky Bahks by sineqube

I’ve always loved the music in games like Katamari Damacy, Noby Noby Boy (especially the iPhone version), and Little Big Planet. The sounds in these games make me happy and I could listen to it all day without tiring. There’s obviously a huge link between writers of electronic music and video games, and I’m trying to embrace that more.

This new track at Soundcloud features the Stupid Box as well as the Monotron and some guitar bits and vibratone.

Hope you enjoy, and hope you smile. 😀

Monotron+Sequencer+MiniKP = Joy!

Uploaded a new live performance demonstrating the main features of my new 4-step sequencer, and the recent modification to the Korg Monotron.  Finished up the housing last night.  Now, using only the sequencer, Monotron, Mini KP, and a Fender Mini Twin, I have a battery-powered mobile retro “analog” studio setup … thingy.  With blue lights.  And a snowman.  😀

Here’s a close-up of the sequencer:

Homemade synth video and 2 new tracks at Soundcloud

Just finished wiring up my new little 4-oscillator synth.  Still need to prepare an enclosure, but it’s working wonderfully so far.  It’s using a NAND gate Schmitt trigger IC (CD4093) and features 1 oscillator functioning as an LFO flipping between two others in the audio range.  Another oscillator is providing some fun cross modulation voodoo between the two main tone generators.  It also has a photoresistor that can alter the pitch of one of the oscillators (or be switched off via toggle), and some light low pass filtering.  And, of course, a blue light.  You can hear the result running through the Korg Monotron and Mini KP in the YouTube video below.  Not bad for a $0.29 chip.  😀

Also, uploaded two new tracks to Soundcloud featuring the same setup as listed above.  I’m enjoying seeing how much can be done with these little units, and I seem to be revisiting a minimal phase right now that is quite pleasing to me.  Nice.  Zen.
