This is a collection of micro versions of songs that I've been working on for a long time. I made these micro sequences so that I could get a better idea of what I'm working with and then decided that I would love to share the tracks. So, here they are. Click here for the file (megaupload)
Nice bio UWN made for me :)
Octo/Octa (pseudonym for Mike Morrison when in the midst of fully formatted, polyphonic mania) broke forth from the loins of early soundtracks from SNES games like Earthbound, steady bassdrive sets and bands like Total Science and Germlin. His early sounds stepped from long gaming sessions bulging with pre-disposed, placated beats. Since inception, Octo/Octa has grown into shotgunned Lo-Fi squarewaves over jungle breakcore; armed with glitches, breaks and a handful of brickboys, there is a lone sniper in the tower at the Church of Nintendo.
eLLO jazzness
Yeah, it was in the ROM edition of the WIRE. You had a write up on you. It happens. I contacted the Wire and I think they got it from your site or the ELLO's site? meh it happens.
the best part about it is the fact that every small effect is so damn melodic that it can not only be incorporated easily, but! we can cut it up and have sega's secret 16-bit patches...becuase, I don't know about you but it seems like those are pretty unreachable.
still trying to find the bell sample used for alex kidd.
well that was master system, so 8-bit i suppose
but, hey, i'll keep you posted on april dates!
i'm around! working hard on our full length and deciding on where to go to college
sample trade? yes! that'd be awesome ha! i'm working with gunstar heroes right now for genesis, it's pretty great. heard horny vamp shows have been going excellent! i really want to talk to you, or, you and jer about playing at our release shows in april, we're booking a few. i don't know if i've really talked to you at all about what's going down over here, but to sum it up, we're doing a 1,000 copy pressing of the disc, so i guess you could say we're running around trying to get this to be as a-okay as it can be. let's chat soon!
