Pillars Of Eras Past

Espionage

Adelaide Nights #1

Orbs are definitive proof of the existence of ghosts

Entrapped trash

Autumn

Snaking slowly upwards through valleys of fire
and tunnels of flame.
Distant mist becomes a river which is wiped away wiped away
wiped away
as the wind shatters amber sparks against the grey.
They lie, fallen, waiting for their embers to fade.
Crushed into sodden ash
that smells of spices.

Atari 2600 Custom Waveforms

In a very real sense, this is a follow up to a previous post about equal-tempered tuning on the Atari 2600. I love the Atari 2600 in-built timbres, but wouldn't it be nice if there could be some other waveforms too?

Well, I've been working on a way to do just this, although it's mainly experimental at the moment. Here are some waveform snapshots, recorded from an Atari 2600 that was being controlled via MIDI in real time. The waveform shape is chosen via MIDI as well.

30 Songs In 30 Days: 08 - 12

I've joined this challenge to write 30 pieces of chip music in 30 days.

"The idea of it is that in a timeframe of 30 days you are to write 30 songs. These songs can be a 10 second long melody and bassline or an epic, melodic 15 minute long piece. There is little chance of actually completing 30 masterpieces, but that isn’t the point. The point is to push your boundaries of what you would normally do."


Here is my eighth song. It's called "To Swim Upstream", written for Sega Master System.

Here is my ninth song. It's called "Skeletons", written for Sega Master System.

Here is my tenth song. It's called "I Am Outside", written for Sega Master System.

Here is my eleventh song. It's called "The Inn", written for Sega Master System.

Here is my twelfth song. It's called "Mr Functional", written using Ableton Live as a sketch of a track for the Sinicore Sinistar Compilation.

Corporate Sabotage #2: Filling in the gaps.

September's Dusk Horizon Never Ends

Loose white sand

collects

in dark hollows

of seashells.

Burned sky

inks her eyes,

changing hazel

to pale green.

Isn't the dune heath

alive tonight?

A fever of heather

and yellow gorse.

Twilight dims:

its growing density

casts darkness

across her body.

Oh to escape

old drudgeries,

our bones by the sea

with bottles of rum.

Our braille skin

peels to ash

and drifts into

sun and undertow.

September's

dusk horizon

never ends.
