CNCTR – The Unmovable Man
Saturday 2 April 2011 – 16:26
Title: The Unmovable Man
Artist: CNCTR
Album: The Unmovable Man
Date: 1998
As much as I was into ‘techno’ or house music or whatever you want to call it, I never wanted to be restricted to making just that…so a lot of my early stuff had a pretty firm ground in trying new sounds and just trying to be creative. Eventually though, I wanted to just make 4/4 floor ‘minimal’ stuff. This is what I tried first. I used some car speakers in a box as monitors, which i thought was awesome but was really pretty pointless because I was just driving them with a line level signal…so they didnt hardly make any sound. Still, I ignorantly assumed it would make my tracks sound better. Well, it definitely got them sounding different, but the production of this track is the only instance that setup lasted.
This is Buzz of course, and I will find the artwork for it soon…it’s been a pretty busy few days/nights around here. What with taking on about 4 new projects, all completely unrelated, all at once.

I remember really liking this one when I made it. That’s about all I remember. Think it was a really quick one.
Some of that beats and breaks oriented bass stuff. Oh yea it’s definitely buzz. Beat isolated at the end for sampling WOOPS.

Release Date: 2001
Alright cooling it back down a bit. I don’t have too much to say about this track…it’s all Buzz, that’s for sure, and I’m pretty sure it was made over a holiday trip back to Bryan from San Marcos…deeply rooted in headphoning and granular synthesis.

Noggin – Eclipse
Thursday 17 February 2011 – 20:22
Part 1
Title: The Eclipse
Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown, The Shoebox
Release Date: 1999
Request Thursday! I must say thank you to all the new requests, and the new requestees, but do hold your horses as I had a couple in mind already and the key here is patience (aka dragging it out). Do keep those the requests and comments flowing. We’ve a long way to go yet.
I was very proud of this song when I produced it. It covered a few styles cleanly, and at least didn’t sound as much like ‘tracker music’ as I was thinking all my stuff did (in hindsight, my stuff rarely sounded like ‘tracker music’). I wrote this around the time of some great eclipse happening in Europe, and I really wanted to be there experiencing it. It happened for us Americans at night.
On a sidenote, I’m learning that my instincts on dating these things is often pretty wrong. For example, I originally thought this was from 2001. I thought I was in college, I thought I had ‘matured’ (musically) a bit, and then I thought, well wait, it’s still early sounding, maybe it was 2000. Looking at the txt file I wrote for the song, it was friggin August of 99. I was still 17.
Funfact: one of the machines in this song is named ‘pickles’.
This was “a Binary Distorsion Inc. / Alternative Rumblingz release”…originally at http://surf.to/bdi. I miss those guys.
