something to go to in raglan

Those who’ll be in Raglan this weekend should get down to the YOT Club Saturday night.

I’ll be taking my toys and playing some twisted electro alongside a bunch of other bands(?) and DJs.

It’s a fundraiser for Steve (DJ Jammin I) and Candid who lost all their stuff when the wharf burned down. And really need a holiday. Or something, I can’t remember exactly. Doesn’t matter.

See you there.

At the tip today I found a couple of awesome bits of tech.

This is the Toshiba T1910 and it freaking works! That’s MS Word 2.0 running on Windows 3.1

And this is the Jam Stand Radio which is going to get bent all to hell and join the plastic-battery-powered-portable-dub-orchestra. It is actually a functioning radio and the buttons along the bottom play cheap-sounding samples.

Anyway the point of this post is that I’ve joined Twitter today so if you’re interested in these kinds of details you can follow me here: http://twitter.com/bsidebeats

audio and video of mutant radio synth

Quick dirty demo of the synth beast I built last night. Recorded with echoes ‘cos that’s how I roll – no other signal processing.
