The Derrick May mix posted at the ElectrOne Podcast on feb. 26, 2007, starts about half way through the audio file… is… freakin’…. awesome. This is my first exposure to ElectrOne, so far so good! :):)

I’m working on a php script that reads a directory of files, MP3’s to be exact, reads the ID3 tags, and creates an iTunes Store podcast compliant RSS feed. It’s not exactly ready for primetime, but you can check out the progress and subscribe to the Dobox Recordings songcast here:

This is the seventh and final track from My so called music, called Running.
I was writing a track while I was on the treadmill (you may be asking how I write music on the treadmill), and this is the result. Around that time there was a story on slashdot on how ham radio operators were complaining about how Broadband Over Powerlines was screwing with their reception and creating a lot of interference. The story provided a quicktime movie of the evidence, which I somehow managed to hijack some of the audio and put into my track.

This is the sixth track from My so called music, called Refunk.
I think I’d just gotten a new stereo installed in my car, and I wanted the fattest booming break I could get at the time to “test” the speakers out… Oh, yeah, this definitely employs the service of Crazy Ivan. I was digging on the idea of an audio effect being the performer, and I was the backup band… sort of an interesting twist on normalcy.

This is the fifth ( ) track from My so called music, called Rethinking it.

This is just a banging techno track. It was one of the first tracks I finished in reason all those years ago. I especially love how you can rewire everything in reason, which is how I got that sound at the end of the track… various machines spitting out parameters where they’re not supposed to. We’re so lucky to live in a time when there are tools that limited by the operator only. Surely, reason is an exception to the rule, and a ground breaking, lead showing (hopefully) kind of tool. Oh, sure, the purists out there will jump up and say “Max/MSP can do that! PD can do that!” .. but I’m just not quite that hardcore enough yet. Maybe some day I’ll get my brain around PD. I’m still blown away by even just the memory I have of seeing “drool string ukulele” in action… Someday anyone who wants to will be able to build their own instruments easily… we can probably thank Bob Moog for opening up a lot of doors for gear heads around the world. Rest in peace, Dr. Moog.

This is the fourth track from My so called music, called Rubber Floor. This song that Jono Kane and I wrote to try to impress ourselves and Dr. Alex Patterson of The Orb, since we were going to go see the Orb in concert when we were writing the track. I think it’s a pretty kick ass song.

This is the third track from My so called music, called Lidflipper. This song I wrote over the course of a vacation in hawaii (when I wasn’t in the water . I created almost all of the samples with either Kinkybeep or Sound designer, I can’t remember which.

This is the second track, called Gecko. I remember writing this track a few years back and hadn’t titled it anything interesting yet. The neighbor’s cat downstairs had caught what we thought was a gecko. My wife rescued it from the cat before anything bad could happen. I kept seeing our little gecko friend in my mind when I’d listen to this song, so that’s what I titled it. We drove up into the hills to release our little friend. Later we found out it was a salamander. Oh, well, the song lives on as “gecko”.
