Title: lychee
Artist: Noggin
Album: Buzz Exports
Date: 2003
Glitchtacular melodiousism rampant right here.
It’s hi-fi buzzage, with a definite downtempo tip. The beat out of this one went on to bigger and better things…and it’s just on the tip of my tongue right now what those things were.
originally called ‘gichee.bmx’.

Title: Žižkov Nights
Artist: Noggin
Album: Buzz Exports
Date: 2004
Firmly rooted in the glitch aesthetic when this grew out. The product of cold nights in Eastern Europe and not wanting to take the tram to any social part of town.
Let me take this opportunity to remind myself that the bed I had in that room was the hugest thing I’ve ever seen – you couldn’t find sheets to fit it (our landlord was a furniture maker so all the furniture was totally custom). He was kind enough to leave a sweet boombox though with aux input so I was able to have a more decent monitoring situation and still pump out the hits.
Lots of melody and buffer stalling.

Title: beat mangler

You might recognise this one as it served as stomping ground for and went on to become the music for a video I had to make for class.
This adds a little melody to the already destructed beats.

Another one of these consciously trying to be hi-fi tracks right here from the glitch haydays.
All buzz as usual. Serious sine drops. Dynamics. Tone Loc!

Dipping back into the Buzz Exports – mainly today because I’m using the same computer these came from, and it’s driving me c r a z y.
This one pretty much sticks to the rhythms and minimal chord sequences to get you going in yer idm vein.
ps. in case you missed it, i went ahead and posted last weeks radio show in the correct spot.
