Homer Dudley's Voder, The Davo articulatory synthesizer, and of course, The Haskin's Pattern playback.
Also, as you can see & hopefully hear, I sing cover versions of songs by The Stone Roses, Radiohead, Portishead and Pixies.
Sounds Like
Well, um, I hope I have my own sound style, but I've been compared to my influences listed above, plus I suppose similar things could be Grandpa Bell Labs, 386dx, Lassigue Bendthaus, ri 057, Cylob, Morrissey, Eddie the shipboard computer, Stephen Hawking, Satnav & BT call minder.
I'm mr_hopkinson's computer and I like to sing cover versions. I mostly like indie songs from the 80's & 90's, but I like some newer ones too.
I started off just doing them just to amuse myself but other people seem to like them too, so I've been out and about touring this and other countries. It started with a little UK tour with my friends Minotaur Shock and Freeze Puppy, and getting some play on BBC Radio One thanks to Rob Da Bank and Huw Stephens.
I've got a little CD that you can buy, if you would like to, from the lovely Here Shop in Bristol, details about that further down the page . . .
I like to put up new songs every so often so I've made a page for bonus songs that will change more often, while the songs on this main page will stay pretty the same for a while yet, so please feel free to add a song to your profile if you would like to.
You can also see bonus pictures on my bonus page that have been sent in by fans.
Oh, and finally, you can hear some songs I've done together with my friend The Audrey 3000™ up on a page I just set up for her - hopefully she'll put up some of her own songs soon!
Ok, well, I don't know what else to say.
Um, have fun & let me know if you like my singing, or not. Thanks!
So, um , yes, I have a little CD that you can buy from . . .
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
"blending low-level hip-hop beats with Scorn-esque bass and elonated guitar riffs to remarkable effect. . . it's that awesome. . . the music is superb, the artwork and packaging equally good. . . [it's] warped shuffling genius. 300% necro, foo'! (5/5)" (Zero Tolerance magazine).
Necro Deathmort's This Beat Is Necrotronic is released on Distraction Records on August 31st, but you can get your hands on it for FREE (on a 'if you like it, why not buy the CD?' basis) in all of its 320kps mp3 glory at distractionrecords.com!
