Hey everyone, play our new game!

I'm super excited to share that I did the sound design for a brand new game called Knoblins! It's a unique game where you hatch musical creatures and create your own tunes. It's user-friendly and perfect for anyone, whether you're a music pro or just love fun and creative games. The game has a lot of cool features like different stages, customizable knobs for each creature, and even an autoplay mode for endless music. Check it out and support our work. Your feedback is honestly, the biggest benefit for us.

Glad to finally add a video game to my portfolio.

Sad to inform that Jochen Peuyn aka Sorgenkint passed away in a car accident. He performed in second edition of Rave Fm Audio Festival, soon we will upload his memorial perfomance (he was an acid music lover)

He was born 1982 in Willich, Germany. Already in the early days as child he noticed that he is highly interested in music. After the dead of his brother in 1995, he started to learn guitar which his brother left him. He spent a lot time with his guitar and music, and he began to understand, admire and play music of all kinds of style. Jochen played guitar, drums, bass guitar and keyboard and is as real multitalented musician. In the beginning he was more addicted to Crossover, Metal and Hip Hop, but soon he discovered ACiD music...!

That was the start of his career as Sorgenkint and after he bought a groovebox, his main target was to play ACiD as Dj and Live. Three month after this his discovery of ACiD he already has his first gig on a Technotronica-Party. It wasn't a long time, that other DJ's call attention on him and so the Dj and Promoter Man at Arms noticed his talent and the beginning of a long cooperation between them was born. He was booked on a lot of ACiD partys, next to the ACiD Legend..s Brixton, Rob ACiD, ACiD Junkies. In his Live-Performance there was not only the sound of electronic synthesizers, he also combinds it with real drums, guitar riffs and vocals. In 2007 he started his first label SORGENVIBES.

Something a little different, part of my retro music tech collection. This is the Yamaha QY10 and it's honestly a beast. It's a full featured MIDI workstation that runs on AA cells and just about fits in your pocket. For an idea of its power, this introductory video is an hour long and doesn't give you time to follow along:

I used mine for a while as the centre of my dawless setup, controlling a Commodore 64 (via MSSIAH), a Yamaha DX 7, and a Korg Wavestation. Now I mostly carry it as a music sketchpad.

It came from Japan and still had a truly awful piece of music on it from the original owner that I will never delete.

""THE TEACHES OF PEACHES WAS WRITTEN AND PRODUCED USING A ROLAND MC-505 GROOVEBOX..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on one of several Roland MC-505 units — a self-contained synthesizer, drum machine and sequencer — used by PEACHES in her early career. Courtesy of the artist.

MINI-OVERVIEW: ""The Teaches of Peaches" was written and produced using a Roland MC-505 Groovebox, in a super-simple one-machine, bedroom set-up. It wasn’t even just a bedroom set-up, she says. “It was anywhere I could find a plug… I wasn’t really interested in the traditional, layered ways of composing. I was more interested in a punk way, using electronics, but saying ‘this is the bass, this is the guitar, these are the drums. That’s your instruments and they all have their place. They all get heard’. I just wanted to make sure that the one sound is just slamming and it’s direct and it hits you between the eyes.”

"I liked to use it back then because I would find very direct sounds I really liked,” she says, "probably sounds KRAFTWERK used [laughs]. I looked at the name of one of the sounds I used a lot, and it was the sine tone. Literally the sine tone. I would slightly manipulate it, but I thought it was so direct and it had such a perfect place in what I was doing.""

Jamuary continues with some highly questionable keyboard technique

An earlier iteration of my studio, circa early 2021 if the file date is to be believed. Basically the first iteration of my DAWless setup. If I recall correctly, this is essentially the setup I used to record my Oneirogen Codex album. Pretty sure this was the photo I took to commemorate this edition of the studio, and the album recorded with it, right before I rebuilt it.

Novation Circuit and Arturia Beatstep Pro (both since sold) handled sequencing and synching the whole thing. Korg Monologue monosynth (now sold); Arturia MicroFreak and MiniBrute 2s are both still in the collection, as is the Korg Volca Drum propped up in the middle there. Various modular stuff and a Koma Field Kit FX (all still part of the studio, minus maybe a few modules). You can just make out a vintage Akai tape deck on the right there; I used that to master that album. Still have it and use it all the time.

Okay, has anyone actually I.D.'d the piece of music gear that this is written in?

This strikes me as a 303 clone sort of statement.

The E2S (Electribe Sampler 2)

Abandoned by developer Korg, the 2's (they also made a synth based one) suffered a miserable launch in 2003. It's an absolutely quirky machine that will always find me stunned and frustrated over what it can and cannot do. Prices vary between stores, but a good mid point is $300. I've grown to love this groovebox but that doesn't mean I can easily recommend it to others. One has to accept limitation as an asset rather than a hindrance and know there is almost always a workaround.
