Back from NorbergFestival 2008 (Video and image dump)
July 28th, 2008

I’m back from the Norberg Festival, and I had a great time. A shout out to some of the great artists: nordloef, Foona, Dj Peter Ericsson, Bitmobilen, PH1 Axid Cerw, all of the X-Dumpians, Veqtor, AWT, Food for Animals, Ayhan Aydin and to finish off the perfect Saturday evening, some breakcore from Babyshaker and Bong-Ra.
Below is a video of my own gig. More snippets available in this Youtube playlist.

This brings me to another point. You might be wondering why I’m not using any Gameboys or anything on stage in those videos. Here’s the story: About two weeks before an SD card in my M3DS crashed. (I’m using the Lameboy emulator for the DS - actually pretty handy and pretty clean sound as well.) Because of this, 6 months worth of work went down the drain in an instant. I trusted an SD card to be a stable form of storage and didn’t even have a backup. (Gah!!)
So, I had to rush together a live set, using only pre-recorded material. I could’ve brought a real DMG and played some of my old stuff, but I figured I’d better just use my computer for everything this time.
Because of the data crash, I collected all the songs that I had actually recorded before the crash and made 10 CD’s that I sold on the festival. Each with a limited edition number and a hand drawn CD cover. The CD is called “Lost Tracks” due to the fact the source files for the tracks on it were lost. I wish to thank all of the people who bought a copy! I’m planning to release these songs as a free net release on OXO Unlimited, but if you’re interested in buying a physical copy with a hand drawn cover, don’t hesitate to contact me.
I’m going to use the small profit I made from it to buy a WiiMote. My plan for the future is to pre-record a number of loops and play around with on the fly using a combo of Ableton Live and Reaktor.

Top 100 fundie quotes
July 22nd, 2008http://www.fstdt.com/fundies/top100.aspx?archive=1
Top 100 fundamentalist christian quotes. Some of my favourites:
One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn’t possible: UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it. [emphasis added]
Like the sun…
There are a lot of things I have concluded to be wrong, without studying them in-depth. Evolution is one of them. The fact that I don’t know that much about it does not bother me in the least.
D’oh!
If your original Hebrew disagrees with my original King James — your original Hebrew is wrong. If your original Hebrew agrees with my original King James, your original Hebrew is right.
Let’s toss a coin. Heads: I win. Tails: You lose.
Am I in discussion with a human who has a functioning brain?
What does a functioning brain have to do with the Bible?
D’oh again!
To say the Bible was written by men and may contain inaccuracies completely contradicts the word of the Bible.
Yeah, that must be it. The existence of god is proven by the bible, the book god claims he wrote. Nothing is wrong with that kind of circular reasoning, nooo…
If the Bible is wrong when it tells us it is infallible, then it contradicts itself. If it contradicts itself, then it is unreliable. If it is unreliable, then our faith is totally shattered and Christianity is a lie. You need to seriously reconsider your logic.
If the logic is not consistent with the fairy tale, clearly the logic must be wrong.
Can you spot the difference?
July 20th, 2008I made a subtle change to the design, with a little help from Ronnie and his little friends. Can you spot it?
NitroTracker 0.4 is released!

<3 <3 <3
The long wait is over! Finally, NitroTracker v0.4 by 0xtob has been released to the public! I’ve been beta testing it for a while and helped iron out some wrinkles. It has a bunch of new features, like envelopes, sample panning and volume column editing, and a lot of small bug fixes.
Gogogogo and grab it, and get yourself a good chip samplepack to get started with!

nitro2k01, Veqtor, Awt (OXO Unlimited) @ Norberg Festival 2008 - July 24-26

nitro2k01
Veqtor
Awt
We’ve managed to put together a whole OXO-Unlimited showcase consisting of Awt, nitro2k01 and Veqtor for this year’s Norberg festival!
Babyshaker will be playing too, but had already been snatched to represent the Oslo Break Fest Crew. Oerfil will be throwing down some massive acid business with our common friend, Marcus Ihlar as Ph1 AxXxid Crew and lots more!
I highly recommend this festival for anyone living in europe who is still thinking about what to do between the 24th and 27th of July.
We’re of course not the only great artists who’ll be playing there, Skream, Bong-Ra, Ars Dada & the OBF crew, Mats Lindström, Mattias Petersson, Psilodump and Zabutom are just some of the other excellent artists who’ll be entertaining you this year!
DON’T MISS IT!!!
