Not amazing or anything, but gives a decent idea of what can be done with the thing. We were also discussing (to belatedly cite the quotes in my last post) whether or not some of the tracks had been 8-bit compressed afterwards, which was inconclusive. You can grab the comp and the mix of the …

A bit more discussion about the DS-10 from elsewhere
Replies from me: Is it something that you could use to make releasable tracks?

I’ve not put it through monitors to say, …
Moritz von Oswald – Early Morning Freestyles
Just started listening to this interview/Q&A with Moritz Von Oswald from the Red Bull Music Academy. It sounds as though it will be wicked. For those who don’t know, he’s one of the most influential electronic music producers… ever. Half of Basic Channel, Maurizio, Main Street and Rhythm & Sound – basically without whom, dubby …
Getting to grips with the DS-10

Here’s the blurb: Rosas presents an evening of dance devoted to Steve Reich’s music, featuring two existing pieces of dance and two new works. The first of two new works is Four Organs, …
