Kind of like pastebin, but more for tracking ideas in a rough chiptune format, bitbin is a cool little browser app created by coda. If you are not familiar with trackers you might want to skip it. Currently, it’s ideal for jotting down melodies, rhythms or songs just a few bars in length. You could [...]

Thursday, May 19th, 2011 by b-knox
Whulp, I’ve been busy again. After a nice vacation in California with my parents to visit my grandfather and sister, I came home to a request for betamod a release. I said, “Why not?” I used all my spare time for a week to compose a hundfull of originals, touching up a few OHB tracks; presenting [...]

Saturday, February 12th, 2011 by b-knox
February Album Writing Month is hosted by FAWM.org and a wonderful waste of time! So, let’s see if I can get caught up. The goal is 14 songs averaging 3 minutes in length. That’s a 42 minute album. Not bad. I have two tracks and 16 days to go. My first attempt at writing a [...]

Today! I had the time to participate in the biweekly Iron Chef of Music two hour one sample remix exhibition. The last time I participated the sample was a recording of a dot matrix printer printing.

Weekly Beat #03 120bpm marching snares – in loving Memory of Memorial Day
Friday, June 11th, 2010 by b-knox
Memorial Day was eleven days ago. The dead military people of America inspire us to think of battle as we attack and devour both the goods and spoils of BBQ’s everywhere. And what do zombie soldiers like more than anything else? That’s right! Marching snare drums. So I pooped open Renoise and went to work [...]

Thursday, May 27th, 2010 by b-knox
Every once and a while I search ‘knoxburry’ in soulseek to see how accessible I am in that network. I was pleasantly surprised to see my track from this compilation show up! It meant that it was finally released!! The official release page is here. But I found spam on forums first when googling for [...]
Weekly Beat #02 – free tempo
Friday, May 14th, 2010 by b-knox
I’m only 4 days late here — H00RAYZ!! My head is spinning. So, this time around I’m going to include something I have been working with – SoundManager 2, a javascript library. Namely, the MPC demo. Basically, SoundManager hides a Flash movie that dynamically integrates with javascript to load and trigger MP3 files. Yeah, mash [...]

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 by b-knox
A week is too short! ^__^; This week I resolved to get this done as quickly as possible and still keep it interesting. Oh whatever should I do? I whipped open my Renoise and the included 808 drumkit. I decided to do something with a lot of bounce. Shuffle, skip and swing are all adjectives [...]
