)))))))))))) k e y f u m b l e r ((((((((((((---------- --

For the next fortnight I'll me sharing all the little
tracks i've been making the past few years with cheap and
nasty software. 2 a day.


http://www.4shared.com/dir/1128400/c94b21c1/sharing.html

The eleventh day has 4 tracks to annoy you. Ones about 14 minutes long! Noice!

A blow by blow:

James town01: Ah, me and my old flatate collaborated on this one. He did the beats and i did all the noise bits and gave it structure. Struc-ture.

Vere Wynn Jones: The name of a newsreader from the 80,s on RTE, Irelands national broadcaster. I always liked the name. What a guy! The track is sort of "autechre"ish i think but without the lasting impression.

Dats it. Robert Deniro in one of his funniest roles ever in one of his first films, either "greetings" or "hello mom" by Brian de Palma. I think the beats work well but the recording of the sample is shite.

Exsta: Weird little tune with a dark twist and nicely roughened beats. "Now, i'm very angry"

method: This tune has a version somewhere where i used a vocoder program to read the introduction to a book on how to commit suicide that my old flatmate got of the interweb. In the dialogue the voice lists methods of commiting suicide and i got it to repeat one method as a chorus, namely "by crashing airplanes". I finished this track on September 10th 2001. That werided me out in a big way a day later . This version is just the music. If you want to hear the freaky one, ask me.

naming it: I love the pear cussion in this track. Ha, i think i was using strummy guitar sampless before fourtet and board of canada, but i cant prove it and i didnt use them much!

mastro: My first ever dancefloor rave type track. You wanna hear this one in a trackter session - a program for djing mp3's - its mmmmmmmmmwicked.

(kew)mix: the letter that looks like an "O" with a diagonal line through it is broke on this keyboard so i spell "kew" instead as it sounds the same. This track is my homage to John Peel using samples provided by (kew) from the dojo. RIP

more to come!!!!

ceepha-x-mas 2006

Warmup DJ: Dj Leem- stoned as fook, funny as a bastard.... played some mean electro, u2 for laughs, squarepushers "tundra 4" and generally talked shite over lots of records but in an endearing crowd_pleasing way. A right laugh.

Max Tundra- absolutely awesome live set from, the little chappy with the funk/soul groove and masterful keyboard skills with guitar too. Old and new songs, all of them playfull and FUNKY with gorgeous electro-beatmanship throughout. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Ceephax-tore it up with a "hello everything" heavy set that put that albums killer tracks in the rave context they were always meant to be in. In between it was classic acid-breakbeat wizardry from the 'phax with killer tracks like "prelude in 303 minor" (bangface style placards came out for that one) and the "A(cid)-team" theme track whacked out at full blast. The topper was a full acid-techno rendition of the "12 days of christmas" song .... "five gold rings" with phat-turkey synth lines taking over the words. The place went fuckin smental i tells ya. Not so much any_jenkison mc action as his live sets but enough to tickle me fancy. He was playing tapes too so i guess that included his new cassette releases;.... sounded well fucking wogan!
