What I'm listening to today: "Teletext Rhythms"
This YouTuber's bio: "I am a terrible but ambitious programmer and procrastinating musician.
In order to avoid finishing music, I decided to write a sequencer for the Nintendo 3DS to keep myself busy."
But I dunno, I think they're doing pretty well. Here's a 20-minute live set (in the sense a DJ set is live) in the Noise Commander prototype running on a 2DS. Good hiphop-aware grooves and some lovely electronic production
What I'm listening to today: "Kraftwerk"
Kraftwerk is known for a Specific Sound, their genre-defining electronic work. Did you know before they acquired/learned the electronics they just made prog music? Really good prog music? Florian Schneider's main instrument was the flute? Their first¹ album from 1970 has all the attention to feeling and timbre of electronic music but it's all Instruments and tape. If it sounds like Can that's because they used the same producer.
