My so called music

I’ve got my first release on the kboysoundlabs netlabel - “My so called music”.. It’s a bunch of minimal and maybe maximal techno and breaks. I take on influence by the ephemeral sounds that usually go unnoticed or are thought of as “by products”. I like elements of glitch, but not as the primary mode of the audio transport. I prefer solid beats layered up with interesting sounds.

I’m 31 and I live in california. I’m wondering if there’s any real regionalism in music anymore, whereas I suspect you nice folks in Europe might get this better than my own peoples in the US. It seems like the only regions where my preferred types of music exist are on the net… ? US listeners who get it? leave a comment! I’ve been looking for you!

here’s a track listing, linked for your podcasting delight:

Leaky steamotron

here’s the archive.org page for derivatives … updated… I am now a netlabel at archive.org.

songcast:invisible solid storm force

invisible solid storm force v4

I bought Renoise to get back to my old 80386 ScreamTracker days. My friend Jim Furey and I used to rock a mean pattern editor and sample list back in the day. Renoise is like those good old days, but about 10 times better with multiple instrument sequencing per-track and VST effect support. It’s pretty sweet for a tracker, and beings as my retention of music notation is basically nil from junior and high school, using a tracker to make my so called music seems to feel more comfortable.

Invisible solid storm force is a piece of music to get my feet wet again with new music tools. I’m using Renoise, Audacity, Apple Soundtrack Loop utility, and Logic Express. I also used Automator to thoroughly yoink all the audio samples I could see from a NASA website. Thanks, NASA! I figure that’s my tax dollars at work… I doubt I’ll ever make money off this album, so … I’m feeling good about my karma using those almost 10 year old research audio clips.
