Due to recent scientific findings, this blog has moved to http://goto80.com/blog as of August 2010. This will no longer be updated, so update your hot bookmark collectionz! As a secret bonus you can check out my new music genre: ACID YODEL
Here is a mix with artists from last year’s Nordik Impakt festival which I forgot to post here before. It has a special edit of an funky (?) Amiga song I made in the 1990s. I vaguely remember listening to this mix and liking it. I hope it wasn’t all a dream. There’s Herbaliser, Vitalic, Dubmood, Boys Noize, etc. I can’t believe it’s not butter.
“almost incredible ***** this newness music style sucks real good, Mr Aug !” (youtube-comment)
Since first released in the C64-demo Sharp and my album Made on Internet, the song Cykonys went through a transformation in Entter’s Polycanyon 243313, which has now ended up in the video above. It’s an absurd mash-up in true disabled acid style. Thanks AugZF!
A video montage of Crackbits 2.5 in Tilburg with Flex Busterman, me & Raquel, Rioteer, Gameboys A Gogo and DJ Carebear with Razorblades. I’m just doing the good ol’ Spit, but check out the other ones. Flex Busterman was pure eggzelenze.
A short part of the mega C64-jam is featured in this video about Hacknight, made by Northern Lights.
A re-destruction of the Dutch national anthem, meant to be performed at Hacking At Random 2009 for Bits of Freedom, the Dutch digital rights organization. Unfortunately I got sick and couldn’t attend, but this is the video of the rehearsal. The software is Defmon, and you can’t copy it. Wuao wuao wuao wuao wuuuaaaooo. Not so much improvisation in this one, except for the trashy solo at the end, but I’ll post more of those things later on.
In 2006, I did an audiovisual DATAJAM in Gothenburg together with Dino, Yoki, Booger, Mortimer Twang and Optiroc. Live coding, music and graphics. Yesterday me, Frantic, Jucke and Dino made a similar thing at Hacknight #2 in Malmö. On this photo you can see five C-64s, a serato setup, midi drums, and a wersiboard. While me and Frantic improvised with defMON, he also used his drums and keyboard. Jucke scratched with C64-sounds and Dino drew his PETSCII live. Maximum data experience!
HT Gold is a C-64 piece made by Frantic and me, currently showing at the Playlist exhibition in Brussels. This is a short video documentation of it by Rosa Menkman. “The girl got very frustrated, afraid and almost started crying asking for her mother when the game did not work the way she thought it was supposed to.” >> The sound is not the original soundtrack, but a live-set by Tonylight.
Video by Toowaii, clothes by ShojonoTomo. The song is Rofon from for example here.
