Easter has come early ’round these parts – a brand new chocolate egg of audio treats for you – from me. Well actually, us this time: Mr Speaker has joined forces with the magical man of musical mgoodness – Tom Birchnell – to form Computadors.
Our first mission, which we chose to accept, was to remix [...]
This will be a post of three parts.
You should probably go straight to Part Three – as this has the juicy details, and a fairly brilliant song I composed. Part one and two are mostly content-free, self-oriented pieces that are sure to be of interest to few (though, with the high demand for fairly much [...]
It seems like less of a good idea now. It’s 8.30am in a tent on a football oval, 6km from Dorkbot Central. I sport a chipper hangover, compounded by a brawny and ominous (though, thankfully fairly rain-free) thunderstorm. Emerging from the tent, I spy my mode-of-transport with a small slice of contempt.
I quite like my [...]
After such an epic journey, it was going to have to be a pretty impressive 8bit, lo-fi, noisy, multi-mode digital audio FX unit and signal generator we’d be building. And with such a description, how could it not be? Impressive, that is.
It couldn’t not be, that’s the answer to that rhetorical question – and as [...]

@hellodaniel I agree. That's why my Twitter client automatically adds "Discuss." to the end of every tweet it displays.

The Man in Blue > The 139 Mix TapeLol! You spawn something new everyday. Quite by chance I came across a youtube video about “Hacking windows pinball” which reminded me of an article I wrote yonks ago called, strangely enough, Hacking Windows Pinball. “I wonder if it’s related?” I wondered. It was. It was just a video of the “hidden test” cheat I found. Then, to my surprise, I looked at the related videos… There’s zillions of them!
Some of them take even longer to explain how to type 2 words than I did explaining how to reverse engineer in assembler language. And sooooo much bad music… But it does highlight an important message: If you want your content to be popular, it has to be relevant to the interests of 14-year-olds.
Imagine, just imagine, you discovered the most awesomely best thing in the known universe. And then, on that very same day, in that very same shop, you discovered the equally most awesome thing in the known universe. And THEN, imagine realising that if you combined those two most best things together, that the blinding goodness of mixed elements would multiply together to create a result of such intense and astonishing goodness as to render all other things in the known universe to be pretty crappy in comparison.
Well, I did that.
