I'll be adding beats, instrumentals, and samples to this album that I would like to work with in the future.
just some beats. have fun with it!
I built a synth yesterday. It's not terribly musical, but it does make fun noises, reminiscent of walking through a video arcade in the early 80s. To someone who grew up in that environment, it's a pleasant cacophony.
Anyway, here's a bed of sound that feels like classic arcade games, without actually using the trademarked sounds of those games. It's quite long, evolving over time to provide some variety.
Note, this is really emulating the sound of several arcade machines in close proximity. I could imagine it being one frenetic multiplayer game, but I don't think it feels authentic as a single player sitting on their couch at home.
If anyone needs isolated sounds in that style (laser fire, explosions, etc), let me know. They shouldn't be hard to produce; I just need to hold back do less.

My girlfriend and I love Seattle and knew we had to try to do something when we heard about the HitRecord show coming to our city and Regular Joe’s requests for what makes Seattle special to you.The problem was, we only had a week before the show when we found out about it and had no equipment with which to shoot.
We decided to do what we dubbed “Seattle Blitz”, or “Drive-by Seattle” (we couldn’t decide). Armed with only a shaky as hell iPhone, we had about six hours to shoot and in that time we tried to get as much footage of the countless places in Seattle that make it special to us. We wanted to show how Seattle truly is one of the most beautiful cities in the country if not the world. So we just hopped in the car and hit record. Every single shot was taken in the city of Seattle in those six hours except the first two shots from the airplane which was at that moment flying right over the Fremont/Wallingford/U-District area of north Seattle a couple days before our car shots. We had a lot of fun hitting all the coolest parts of the city. It would be awesome for someone to do something cool with this footage! If only I had had a Canon 5D, tripod and slider with me this week...
I made this flash animation using images of Seattle found here for the RE:Cities collaboration.
I taught myself how to do this today (thanks to some jiggery pokery with photoshop, illustrator, and flash) so it's still rough because I'm not very good with making videos yet, but if someone wants to remix this to make it nicer that would be excellent. Especially the music track because it kind of ends on a strange note. And the transitions are a bit weird.
This is one of my favorite mirtle drawings!
The sound on this is pretty bad, but I really like what Joe is doing in the clip with the back and forth RECording. Kids in candy stores are jealous of how happy he is in this moment.
