Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Date: 2004

Aaaah, a true Noggin gem of a classic right here.
Urban legend says that this works great on an music-device on shuffle, as the mix might be fortunate enough to get these ~14 seconds of speaker-terror in the midst of oh say a soothing new age indie set. In the words of my good friend Freddy, “Just wait….it’ll be over soon”.
This was created by running effects in Cool Edit with ungodly values in the parameters…if the chorus lets you type in 120000000000000 voices, just do it. If you can catch the output and record it before your computer totally crashes to its knees, you’ll have a nice little nugget of glitchdom to feed yer hungry little samplers with.
It’s my birthday homeys so I’m gonna take this moment to point out a couple of my personal favorites from the archives…

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: Used (demo)
Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Release Date: 2003

I wanted to slow things down a bit, seems like the last couple days on this thing have been pretty intense.
Here is a very short demo/test I made with Reason, ca. version 1.1. I tried Reason for about a summer, and it pretty much single-handedly inspired me to find a hardware synth, which just further solidified my move away from computer-based production. I’m not hating on Reason, I think it is a very unique piece of software and pretty cool what all it can do. I guess I just thought taking the hardware metaphor THAT FAR in software was a bit backwards, and so I myself ended up being the one taking steps backwards into the world of never having enough patch cables. Go figure.

Title: Generations (Influential mix)
Artist: Noggin
Album: ACID COMP
Release Date: 2000

This is a very short remix of a very long track I produced in late high school. This particular version was made just as an attempt to cram as much acid as possible into an intro track for an acid compilation I was burning.
Sample from the Chemical Brothers.
Produced in ReBirth.
