Gotta give these short-but-not-forgotten tracks some love.
This one is pretty glitchy noise rhythms – wholly unrelated to japan.
It’s all Buzz again, going for that hi-fi sound for yer lo-fi earbuds.

Title: Seep Lul
Artist: SOMA + Noggin
Album: Classic Trash
Date: 1998

I’m dedicating this week to collaborations.
One of the most good-vibesin’ bit of collaborating I did was with Matt aka SOMA. I can’t recall the details on how we became aware of each other, but it probably had something to do with rotorkopf and definitely had a lot to do with Buzz. He asked me to collaborate on a track, and as I was just learning the intricacies of amen junglism, I used this as a good excuse to get some more chopping under my belt. His melodies were so inspiring, and the sound fx track was something pretty new to me. I also really dug the tempo changes, even though I don’t think I had ever (knowingly) gone into that territory.
This is about as classic Buzz as it gets…some pluck string, primi fun squelching away, tick-style tracker madness and chiptune pad samples.
We would go on to do a couple more songs together, amongst remixing each others’ work whenever the need arose.

Glitch + psuedo-prog-synth-bubblings.
This one is all Buzz, again, trying to get just a crisp sound out of it. Very sketch on the date of this… +/- two years.

Title: 2’26” am
Artist: Noggin
Album: Classic Trash
Date: 1996

EDIT: track is fixed.
A Buzz classic. Playing with the dichotomy of distorted/cut up breaks against uber-melodic pure synthesis.
This was one of the first pieces I did with Buzz, and really probably where I first came to love the junglist amen freakery school of thought.

Date: 2000

Honestly don’t remember much about this song production with a few exceptions:
1) it was originally a completely different song – sort of a remix you could say
2) i had my headphones on, moved some sliders, arranged some patterns, hit play, and then just kind of zoned out for damn near an hour because this song seemed to materialise itself, vs being ‘written’.
This is the sound of Jeskola Buzz.

Title: Out through the window (gateglitchd)
Artist: Noggin

Somewhat more fine-tuned remix of this track.
Pretty sure this is the product of being back at home from San Marcos with not a lot to do.
Willie on the vox. Buzz on the beats.

Title: Slowest

Date: 2001

Here’s another slow and somber one for yall. This was another experiment to get really clean sounds out of buzz…but of course a damn amen break had to make its way back in there to dirty things up a bit.
All buzz.

Here’s one I can tell you very little about, as it comes from a very high-output phase of Buzz production. Whirlwind.

Title: Bottlecap Blues
Artist: CNCTR
Album: Classic Trash
Date: 1997

You could consider this an early experiment into just how far you could take a tracker / sampler. Somehow I got it into my head that I could record an entire track using nothing but the sounds of a ice tea bottle cap that I had. Got some sounds into cool edit, trimmed up and into Buzz, and this materialised pretty smoothly after that. Some of the samples are slapping the bottlecap, popping the lid in and out, dropping it, sliding it, and of course the bass drum which is not a bottlecap at all.
I chose this one to come next because it actually sounds good immediately following the last one.

Title: Agnus Dei
Artist: Orion
Album: Orion
Date: 1998

Here’s a bonus drop for anyone who requested Orion last week.
More work here with the revered and respected Gabriel Winter. If I remember correct, Gabe had this sample + some very loose melodies programmed, and then I got it and added drums + strings. Unfortunately, this song never was finished, and I think might have been the last track we collaborated on (feel free to correct me if you know better).
edit: player fixed.
