GOTO80 & Skuggan - Out Of Spit (SVT Rampljuset 081003)
October 6th, 2008
GOTO80 playing live in a kid’s show called Rampljuset. (Literally translates into “The Limelight”) The objective of the show is to let four artists perform. The kids have “no” buttons, much like the idol in Idol. When 50% of the audience has pressed no, the lights go out, and the the artist performing iss out of the show.
Watch out for the lettuce man!!

GlitchDS Sample Pack: The Sounds of Mortima T #1 (Universe)
May 28th, 2008Here’s my first sample pack for the really cool up and coming DS homebrew music/sound app DSGlitch. It’s a sequencer and sound glitcher based on John Conway’s Game of Life where each position in the grid can trigger one out of six samples.
The sound is kind of random and I like it so much that I’m planning to make a concept album with sounds processed by the program, with the corresponding sample pack to go with it. (I’m making some tight ass samples for it!)
Until then, I’m going to release a number of sample packs based on the incredibly jazzy and moody sounds of Mortimer Twang’s Amiga mods. More packs coming when I feel like it!
Watcha waiting for?
First grab a copy of GlitchDS for your Nintendo DS
Then grab the Mortima T samplepack
Update: To the best of my knowledge, here’s the first track using samples from the pack: Just For Her by Litebritedeath

The Sounds of Mortima Tee
=========================
what: sample pack
for: glitchds
samples from: universe.mod (#1)
this is the first in a series of sample packs
based on the ameega mods by sweet fatha mortima
twang. The sounds were exported as played in the
mod, sliced when necessary and given minor edits
this first pack contains samples from universe,
a moody downtempo mod with a nice vintage sound
consisting of beautiful strings and a bass line
made with a double bass sample
these packs will be made in respect to mortima's
moody, jazzy, trippy, groovy sounds. to listen
to the original mods, pay this website a visit

original sounds by mortimer
twang aka lukas nystrand

Michael Jackson and the music in Sonic The Hedgehog
May 11th, 2008A guy I talked to at Microdisko told me about how he was in love with the sound from YM2612 FM chip in the Genesis/Megadrive, although most game music composers at the time didn’t know how to fully utilize the chip’s full potential. He (as well as I) love the music of Sonic 2 and beyond.
And today I stumbled upon the awesome news that some of the tracks in Sonic 2 might have been composed by Michael Jackson. Yes, that Michael Jackson, the king of pop. Apparently he composed music for the games, but then it was removed when the pedophilia accusations started to pop up. This video show a compelling argument, supported by statements by former Sega employees, that the music in fact remained in the final games.
Unfortunately, they won’t let me embed it. :/
So here’s a link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbVM-l2Oku4
Instead, I’ll put a video of Streets of Rage here, which my newfound friend told me about for the music. It’s nothing actually nothing short of rave music, and I love it.
More Broccoli!
May 6th, 2008Back once again with the IRC quotes. Do watch the video!
On a related note, I think a part of the Bee March melody resembles the classic Super Mario melody. Ok, it’s only a couple of notes, but I’m still wondering if that might be where Koji Kondo got his original spark of inspiration from… We might never know!

18:35 < Inkoddi> broccoli is perfect for instrument making
18:35 < Inkoddi> since it is really dense
18:35 < Inkoddi> and quite hard

ADLib Tracker
March 4th, 2008More Youtube! This time it’s my Pentium 100 MHz laptop playing som AD lib tunes with ADLib Tracker ][. The tunes are Chipmunk, Comic Bakery and Super Mario Land Theme, from the collection of modules that comes with the program. Someday I'll try to sit down and track something myself. And some other day maybe I will tell the story of how I managed to use HDD in the laptop, where the CD used to be. Without the consent of the BIOS.
