http://30songs30days.com is an initiative I’ve joined. The quest is to write 30 songs in November. This is both hard and easy. Writing 30 songs is easy, but with the awesome other musicians participating I’m feeling the pressure of stepping up my game. I have not really succeed in that, but I think I will become [...]
Long-time reader of this blog may remember me having an idea of creating a binaural beat generator based on 2 APC. real all about it here http://www.larsby.com/johan/?p=67. Well so, I made it. I was going to make a few APC’s anyway so I might as well test the idea. I used http://www.electro-music.com/forum/phpbb-files/thumbs/t_apc555_129.gif so I could [...]
About fourhundred years ago, when I was still living in Lund with a girlfriend instead of a wife. I used a music program called Buzz. I made loads and loads and loads of songs in it. Everything really was in my fingers in that program. It’s a long time abandoned from me though. I thought [...]
I’m sitting here, home with the kids sleeping. After riding my exercise bike for a while I decided I should make some sort of song. A little laid back glitch thingy I though. but it became a little more noisy then I though it would. And not very melodic. I’m off to bed soon, and [...]

Yes yes yo. I had this idea when traveling to work. The train was super crowded and that got me thinking of circuit bending. A lot of the devices I’ve bent have a “press only one key to play a melody that you probably heard a gazillion times before” that combined with me reading up [...]
So I was not at ease after creating Decompression glitches for sound generation but needed to explore this more. I was thinking that if you could feed the glitched sample back into the algorithm over and over again it could create something nice. something noisy, something full of love. So I did do the necessary [...]
When I was a teenager I read or got told that your music taste stagnates when you reach 22. That is, you wont listen to anything new, atleast not anything in a new genre when you grow older. This scared the shit out of me and I promised myself that that would never happen to [...]
Littlepiggytracker is a tracker designed for hand held consoles. It’s awesome and I like it a lot. I use it mainly to create beats when I’m on the go. As cool as this is you sometimes need to look up those abbreviation codes for some serious effect-addition. Also when you are new to the piggy [...]
