Audiovisual Experiments

Aah, the famous Homer Simpson quote. If I’m not making any sense, I’m referring to the title of this post. Anyway, the other day, I thought I’d try to make some music. To the few of you who listens to my music: I’m sorry, I wasn’t anywhere near successful. Aaaanyway, when I fired up the sequencer I couldn’t get it to record any MIDI data. In fact, my computer wasn’t receiving any MIDI data at all. The first thing that should have popped up into my mind: Check the cables. Think about the title of this post again. It didn’t pop into my mind. Not at that time anyway.

I started to reinstall sound card drivers left and right. I must have spent an hour trying to figure this thing out. Then I remembered! I had to pull my son (soon two years old and always up to no good) out from behind my desk. Did he accidentally pull the cables out? Naaah… or? Yes, of course!

D’oh!

I’ve had this one ready for release for atleast a week, but I couldn’t come up with a decent name for it. It’s a 140bpm psy/goa track with many classic elements. Enjoy!

I get some clicks from web pages dealing with space music. What is space music? You know, Laser Dance, Koto, Proxyon and so on. Some might call it “Italo” even. Anyway, all my music is influenced by the group Laser Dance, which I listened extensively to during the early 90′s. However, the end result might not always sound like something you would call “space music”. In fact, it doesn’t sound like that at all. One of my songs, “Master Switch” is somewhat true to that genre. But that song was released ages ago! And that bothers me. I need to get back to my roots and produce some new space mooosik right away. Can’t promise anything (as usual), but I’ll do my best to get some of my space music songs finished and released.
