New Soundcloud-Personae: FISHERBODY

Two weeks ago I created a new Soundcloud-personae. When I was in Vienna to hear Squarepusher, I spend an afternoon with Sascha Neudeck, the guy who builds and sells noise machine Cacophonator 2.

We talked about our music and he gave me the advise to keep my Soundinett space very focused, "Dont mix the expimental work with  other stuff". So I cleaned house and started to open a new audible space.
As I said earlyer, most of the modern sound machines are built to produce dance music. I try hard to abuse this gear,  but at times they abuse me. They force me to create dance traks. Now I put some of this "waste" on my new FISHERBODY site. Pure Electroshrott form Munich!

Enjoy...

Yamaha QY10 meets PFX 9003

Recently got a Yamaha QY10. Nice little machine. Biggest drawback: no polyphonic keyboard. No way to play cords with the keyboard. But yes, the QY 10 produces chords, every kind of; they must be programmed and can be played with a press of a key.
It comes with nice voices, the analog drum kit shines, also the piano, the vibe and some synth voices.

I did a short drum loop and programmed a bass (just one tone) and two chords. Mangled with a tiny beast, the pocket effect processor PFX 9003 from Zoom,  the outcome is a weird noise experience.
Just listen

Squarepusher Vienna Okt, 10. Totally weird bass solo

Squarepusher. O my god. The guy comes from outer space. He delivered some  new kind of a concert. 150 percent energy, but does he care about the audience? Every song starts with a steady groove which was broken down into pieces after seconds. Squarepusher-like micro-rhythms that delighted the crowd in front oft the stage (the ones that immersed into sound or that ones like me, trying to figure out how he´s doing his job, what equipment he uses and so on ); that confused the dancers, who tried to capture a groove but can´t; that irritated the rest of the crowd in the back of the room who moved around waiting for some music  that can be memorized and taken home. No way. It was musique concrete pushed on a new level.
The light-show - overwhelming. But that black and white flashing LED patterns had a reminiscene of  fascistic sign systems. A heroic coldness, distance.
 In all this Squarpusher acts like a robot with a LED-helmet.  Face hidden, sparse gestures, far away from the crowd, not really  getting in touch with them. And leaving them totally alone with his bass solo in the end of the show, which was a brute atonal noise fxperience,  screeaming sounds that must not have a bass as origin. In itself an unbelievable example of a bass transcending his functions the solo was also a great piece of narcissm.
Nonetheless, Squarepusher is one of the greatest artists of our time because he changes the rules.

Yamaha RX 5 Wave Card

I´m bidding for a RX 5 Wave Card. It´s the WRC04 with the experimental samples. The bid is 67 Euros. So the card is more expensive than the Drummy itself which I got for about 60 Euros.

More thougths on the RS 7000

A machine like this is a manifestation of electronic dance music. What comes out first is dance. To master a beast like the RS 7000 and getting out of the dance-trap it must be seen and used as a modular system. Like stompboxes on a dinett space. Treated separatly: a drum machine, a synth that becomes a drone, the effects as a analog filter. And the sample functionality as a real audio gift, something that enhances and alters everything.

sounds of the sun and the earth

I´m always fascinated of sounds produced by nature. One of my projects is to make the routes we drive  audible. Recording the ups and downs along the way and play it like sinewaves.
Discovered Semiconductor, two artist who work in the same direction. Just see, what they do with sun winds...


and  with earth magnetism...
