Kraut Sketch Recorded in one take a couple of Sundays ago. This is essentially me trying to get used to the Beatstep Pro with a view of possibly attempting a Pulselovers gig without a laptop. Here you can hear the Roland System 1, the MFB Dominion X and the BassStation 2 all synced up with the BSP with drums provided by Reason.

UnMute Vol 3 (Mutated) This free download contains the Pulselovers remix of TwoVolt's version of I Start Counting's Lose Him plus 2 Totem's remix of both my Duet Emmo cover (Hill of Men) and Non cover (Mode of Infection) as well as TwoVolt's payback remix of H.O.M.

Sounds New experimental piece which could potentially be incorporated into a future album track at a later date. Recorded on a rare Sunday afternoon when I had the house to myself. This piece was created using only the sounds of water dripping into a metal bowl in the kitchen.

Live Really enjoyed the second New Weird Planet event which took place at Doncopolitan H.Q. a couple of weeks ago. Craig and I played an unrehearsed improvisation to John's wonderful Super 8 loop projections. The piece consisted of John projecting two loops of found footage onto frosted windows, distressing the film with marker pens and razorblades. Craig provided a lo-fi techno soundtrack using his recently acquired trio of Korg Volca gadgets (Kick, bass and Samples), which I processed with various pedals, adding extra noise from my trusty home made paintbox and kalimba. It was only a 10 minute set, but the three of us enjoyed it so much that we intend on reproducing it at some point, recording it for posterity... this will probably get posted on YouTube later in the year.
