- The Rebirth of Rebirth!
ReBirth faithfully emulates dance music’s three backbone devices: The Roland TB-303 Bass synth and the Roland TR-808 and 909 drum machines. Combine these with FX units, fully featured pattern sequencers and a quick-acting, scalable iPhone interface and you’ll soon be making techno on the train, trance on the tram or beats on the bus.

- Finally some more livecoding
I’ve been experimenting a bit with picking random notes from a scale using various voices simultaneously, so to create interesting sounds textures… and what came out is maybe a bit too random at the beginning, but getting more interesting towards the end imho … Oh yeah, the song is called ‘My Misty Morning’.
- Algorithms are Thoughts, Chainsaws are Tools
A short movie about livecoding, Andrew Sorensen (creator of Impromptu), TOPLAP and other related stuff. If you’re not familiar with this stuff, I’d say it’s the most pleasant introduction to it available at the moment! Thanks Stepher Ramsay for doing this!

The help text gets displayed in the log view, so […]

- Japanese Terror in Sancasan
Yesterday I finalized a song from last year.. it’s called Japanese Terror in Sancasan. Weird title I know, but if you happen to see me live I’d be happy to tell you the story behind it (it’s a bit personal). The song ‘s been originally made with Impromptu (the repetitive japanese sounding line in the […]
- Xanadu
I made a new track with Impromptu, called Xanadu. Took me a little bit to build up the song base, then then I think it gets more interesting… … If you don’t care about the ‘coding’ side of things you can listen to a more traditional recording of the track here: Xanadu by magicrebirth
