"Nervous System" (One Hour EP)

Once again, another one hour EP, this time made using my iPod Touch with Nanoloop for iPhone. My favourite track is number three.

Listen to and download "Nervous System" below:

"Destroy Yourself Already!" (One Hour EP)

Yet another one hour EP, this time with a SEGA Mega Drive. I found this one quite difficult, as the SEGA is capable of generating so many sounds, so a substantial amount of time is wasted with tweaking and searching for suitable instruments.

Listen to and download "Destroy Yourself Already!" below:
Track 01

"Dogfight" (One Hour EP)

I gave myself the task to write and record an EP in the space of one hour. I decided to use the NES in terms of instrumentation.

Listen to and download "Dogfight" below:

"Paranoid Universe" (One Hour EP)

I gave myself the task to write and record an EP in the space of one hour. I decided to use the SEGA Master System in terms of instrumentation. Aesthetically, my starting point was the classic PSG VGM sound of SEGA games from the period of 1987 to 1991.

I Have Completed 100 Tracks for Lazerscale!

Somewhat of a milestone, I have now completed 100 tracks of the lazerscale project. Check out my material here.

I Have Completed More Than 20% Of Lazerscale

I have now finished more than 73 tracks for the Lazerscale project which represents the 20% mark. It has been a tiring journey, but I still have some creative energy left. You can check out my 76 tracks here.

As a reminder, here is what Lazerscale is all about:

"In November 2009 Lazerbeat and little-scale took part in a challenge to write 30 songs in 30 days . They found a shared interest in the experimentation encouraged by creating music under a strict schedule and decided to push the idea a little further. The aim of this project is that between January 1st and December 31st 2010, a number of artists will each produce 365 songs. There are a small number of rules governing the exercise but it is mainly for fun and hopefully making some good music."

Rules

The objective of the exercise is for each party to write 365 songs in 365 days.

1 - All songs must be written between January 1st and December 31st 2010.
2 - If a party goes 21 days without uploading a song, the challenge is over for them.
3 - All songs must be a minimum of 60 seconds.
4 - Songs may be produced using any equipment.
5 - Songs don't need to be produced exclusively for 365s365d.
6 - Collaborations with other artists are acceptable and encouraged.
