Yuroun
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia
Only samples from the free loops sample pack are used. No other synth. I reused the samples with CronoX3, the Fruity Granulizer and Absynth 4. In the Absynth patch there was only one inharmonic osc used to get that Predator blips like sound in the background.

The lead was sample amb3.wav. Background noice was made from a snippet from sample Amb1.wav mixed with HInc-FLP12-Blipps and a inharmonic osc. The rythm texture was made from CYST_MSNT06_18synthseq.wav

Use headfones to listen.

FEATURING Buzzsaw & The Shavings
BuzzyGerm.JPGHaving spent the better, or at least indifferent portions of the last 15 years or so on the periphery of various too-well defended musical scenes alerted to my presence in a creative Scythia releasing cassette, vinyl and CD indie morsels perfectly spiced to tempt the appetite of Folly, I drew too near to Tapegerm and I was captured in a wend of loop, and in the ensuing struggles to free myself, a fresh provision of Folly decided to call the result a mix. More mixes are forth through ninecoming, but I hesitate to say more as double-digits provoke a bad elevation sickness. Ah, but I seem to be green already, as green as the tracks to be found over at VBC BROADCASTING-Very Bad Considering Broadcasting-Considering what? I leave that answer to you dear friends as you are quite inventive enough to make me feel better. :)

the Undone
Lost in the ozone of trial and separation and laughter, he was brief. Blatant, he regarded the orange successfully. It was hotly guarded. It was secret. Within him was a nail. He was driven by it. He was undone. Website:


Mecan
I'm a Cabinetmaker from Bundaberg, Australia who mixes for fun Website:


Cumulus
A long time ago the universe was without form. Hot gases cooled, coalesced, and formed stars and planets. Then the dinosaurs came but they got too fat and died. Small rodents came out of hiding and evolved into Homo Sapiens, one of which started making experimental music in the 1980's using found objects, second-hand insturments, and toys. After many years in bands playing everything from folk-rock to psychedlia he is back to playing with toys and junk and posting it for the world... Website:


The Ghosts Lounge
The music of The Ghost's Lounge, part sound art, part pop, and part rock-inspired posturing, is the result of ten years of work in sound, and twenty years of fine-art experimentation in general. During an odd night alone in 1998, a time in which my art was exclusively visual, I attempted a crude sound experiment using three tape recorders and a TV/VCR combo. I recorded with one device while manipulating the others. Soon after, I was mixing sound using many connectors I'd collected from... Website: http://www.myspace.com/theghostslounge


Jesi Langdale
I have been making and recording experimental music since Winter of 2006. My first recordings were done with a hand held cassette recorder and boom box. My latest recordings have been done with a 4-track. I have released two tapes since Spring of 2007, and played a "handfull" of live shows. Website: http://www.myspace.com/jesilangdale

8/26/08 New Open Loops

CATEGORY: default

I've uploaded 143 meg of new open loops for y'all to have fun with.
They are available by clicking on the Loop Projects link at the top of most of the Tapegerm pages. Of course you must have a fully activated account & be logged in to get them.

I composed these loops for use at the Tampa Noise Fest in June of this year. I didn't use all of them and not all the permutations are included with these new loops.

Hope you enjoy them.

I uploaded a experiment I did in video a while back for a older Tapegerm song of mine. Trying out the new video features here. If you have a video & the space upload your tapegerm related video here. It must include a tapegerm song or some tapegerm loops & credit the thing if you do. Photo by Molly Phinney.

Systems Theory "Codetalkers" CD available as a free d/l

CATEGORY: default

After numerous delays in 2006 and 2007 we decided to go ahead and offer the 9 track "Codetalkers" album as a CD image + jpegs download to anyone that wants a copy. This can be found at Mike Dickson's web-site http://www.mikedickson.org.uk/codetalkers. You will need all of the control files (ISO, CDT & CUE) to burn the disk since it is > 76 mins long.

The 9 tracks of world-fusion/spacerock/progressive electronica are laid out as three "sides" with track cross-fades/stop-start of tunes. Going the CD d/l route allows you to experience the album the way we intended it to be heard.

side one:
No Deli In Delhi
Riverrun (Harmelodythm)
Spamivore

side two
Car Crash Messiah
Sohcahtoa (the lost tail-wagging dog)
Memory Of Ur (parts 1 & 2)

side three:
Codetalker
Berlin Night Express
Red Sun Fading

If you don't want the full CD experience for your library and just want free MP3s for your mobile player, go to the official web-site http://www.systemstheory.net. Pull them from the "music" tab. Do a right-click save-as for each VBR/HQ MP3. You can also get for free all the tracks for our 2004 release "Soundtracks For Imaginary Movies" that way.

The individual tracks can also be streamed off our Last FM page:
http://www.last.fm/music/Systems+Theory

Any comments about the album can be left here or on the official web-site guestbook.

While I'm thinking about it in advertising mode, project member Mike Dickson has all three of his solo albums available for free in VBR/HQ MP3. Go the front page of his web-site http://www.mikedickson.org.uk and enjoy compositions by Erik Satie and Philip Glass plus originals by Mike presented on old analog synths, plus a host of tape manipulation devices and Mike's vintage Mellotron M400 and his Hammond T500. Think 70s Tangerine Dream meets modern William Orbit with sound collage and processing by Eno.

Enjoy!
