Watch Amp Live up side down
DJ and producer Amp Live was an early adopter of the Livid Ohm64.
It’s another installment from Zion I’s Amp Live delivering a definite dose of electric funk. Coming from a history of defying all boundaries when it comes to the contemporary sounds of music, this video is evidence that the mission lives on.
Prepare yourself as Amp Live plays the role of a electro-magnetic maestro as he guides you through an electric fairytale of injected images of breaking dancing, ninjas, & chickens (that’s right I said it). This video takes you on a muscle bond journey of beats that even I have a problem NOT moving too. Damn it, for being so catchy! ‘Chick Pop’ was recently featured on MTV’s Buried Life. You can get the track off of Amp Live’s recent solo album, “Murder At The Discotech”.

Cool stuff from Holotronica
Here’s a glimpse of my realtime composition using quartz composer. The track was created with an Arp Odyssey monophonic analogue synthesizer on the first day of owning it. All the sounds come from the Odyssey.
Bitstream sidestreamed
It appears that the Connor brothers from the glitchy electro act Bitstream have started recording again but now separately. Dave under the name Uexküll and Steve uses the moniker adapta. I’m very much looking forward following the progress of the Connor brothers respective projects.
And 4 tracks by adapta
Oxygene IV on Steelphon and Korg Polysix
Analog Machine Drum
GRP A8 – the Italian-style Moog
Here’s some videos of the cool GRP A8 modular synthesizer which is an Italian Moog-style synthesizer.
Electric repairman or audio artist?
Keith Fullerton Whitman in action at a live set from the Smash Palace Festival in Cambridge, MA on December 5 2008. You might accuse the laptop electronica guys from checking their email on stage but this looks more like a electronic repairman than anything else…
Interview with IK Multimedia
There’s a great interview over at KVR with Enrico Iori, CEO of IK Multimedia.
Remastered Chris & Cosey’s Heartbeat
Bookat sais: “The Hearteat album was the first of Chris &Cosey’s post-Throbbing Gristle missives which would define the electro and synthpop underbelly of the 1980s and cast a towering shadow of influence over so much machine made music to come, from Juan Atkins and Drexciya to successive waves of synth music ever since. ”
