   About october71
About me: Hi, I'm Phoebe aka october71. I am an Experimental/Unconventional/Circuitbent instrument/Gameboy artist, but don't let that deter you from listening to my tracks...I also use conventional electronic instruments as well, and I strive to achieve rather interesting and rich sounds. I don't take myself very seriously, so neither should you. Please feel free to add me as a friend or send me a message!

About my music: The genres of music I make fall into these categories: dub, dark ambient, noise, downtempo, techno, idm, and some unclassifiable stuff. Most tracks are "sequenced" and recorded live. Post-production processing is done in Sound Forge, and is usually limited to editing for length, adjusting eq and volume, and adding reverb or echo, and compression unless stated in the production notes. I also use Sound Forge for generating drones and experimenting. I like to experiment with new techniques and equipment so my sound is always evolving.

About my instruments: Many of my instruments are ones that I made myself, and you can view all of my circuitbent instruments and electronic projects here.

There are many more tracks available on my soundclick website: click here.

I was featured in an article on wired.com on circuitbending: click here.

Want to see what I'm listening to right now?

Equipment used: Original Gray Gameboy + Nanoloop, Realistic Stereo Reverb System, Realistic Mono Reverb, Robomber, Casio SK-1, CDemon, Microhard Drum Kit, iBreak, Hellphon, BDRM-1 Ring Modulator, Alesis Ineko, DOD digital delay fx pedal, Ibanez SM7 distortion pedal, SAM, Behringer UB1622FX-PRO Mixer, Behringer MDX1600 Autocom Pro XL Compressor, and on my PC: Soundforge 8, Acid 4.0, and other miscellaneous audio programs. MIDI gear - Alesis: Photon X-25, Brother: PDC-100, Korg: ER-1, ES-1 MK2, Poly800, x0xb0x (TB-303), Yamaha: AN200, QY70, SU10
