Store Window Reality

This song was originally written as a poem when I was about 15 years old [a long, long time ago (Fall of 1969?)]. It got a remake / re-do in the early summer of 2001 as a cyberpunk track.

 The plucked sounds I programmed using FL Studio. The Guitar is a processed loop of my Mitchell Acoustic [made in japan Martin D-28 clone] Guitar. The vocal effects are from Antares Auto-tune tweaking the vocal pitch... before it became a wide spread vocal processing tool.

I remastered it again today from the original mix files. The mix was put together in Sony Acid Pro and Mixed down with Sony Sound Forge 10.  You can find an MP3 of it HERE.

dvusMedia - Data, Seek, Data

Another track from the MP3.com album Chatsubo. It was inspired by someone in a.c.c. having a drive crash.

You can find a remastered version HERE

Yes that is the sound of a hard drive head seeking...

A Season Is Set for Everything

Sometimes I am overcome with hubris and attempt to do things I probably should not. Below is my take on Ecclesiastes Chapter 3... which you have probably have heard as Pete Seeger's "Turn, Turn, Turn". Obviously I'm not Pete Seeger.

I wrote this on  a long, long Yom Kippur day after having attended a break-the-fast. It was officially the Eleventh Day of Tishri, 5768 [2007]. I suppose that some time I will repost a essay about that particular day... but not today.

You can find a passable Mp3 recording of the song HERE. It was recorded with an M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 and then edited and mastered in Sound Forge.

The lyrics can be found over on my writings blog "Falling Thru Reality" which is where this was originally was posted.

Mirage Redu

Mirage was also on the Neterland MP3.Com album. It was the first mix where over 75% of the samples were created epecially for the track. Among the things used were a short wave radio, Propellerhead's ReBirth RB-338 software synth, and a Yamaha DX-21 FM synth. Thanks go to Mark in a.c.c.

You can find the remix / redux of this classic techno-noize track HERE

dvusmedia - Terpsechore

 Terpsechore is the Muse of dance.

This version is a remix / remaster of the track which originally appeared on my 2001 MP3.com album "Neter land" [Neterland being the abode of the Egyptian Neters or "godlike powers"].

I don't expect that everyone will like it... it is after all "electronic"... but for me it is headphone ear candy... even if I have begun to lose my hearing. ;)

HERE she becomes a rather odd of mix of samples and beats heavily influenced by the folks that were then hanging about in alt.cyberpunk.chatsubo. I am in their debt [but then I'm always in debt].

Enjoy!
