  • I am the seed

    a zx spectrum demo me and my friends created in 2005.

    elfh – programming

    miguel – music, graphics, design

    moran – graphics

    done with z80 assembly language and some tools for zx spectrum 8bit computer.

    In this work we used noise on images of landscapes around our city and aether creatures, moving around it, to reflect blurriness and uncertainty of our thoughts and feelings about past and future. To say with a visual language, how it feels sometimes, that all your efforts lead to nowhere, but in the same time you understand that you have to move.

  • GOTO8O on mixtape

    The Belgian collective Herrmutt Lobby released a mix to celebrate their new album (which includes careful inclusion of FM and SID sounds). It’s hip-hop, off-beat, p-funk, and bleeps here and there. It includes my song Cia Timing (from son of music) and also Dr Vector is in there! Check this out, and don’t be surprised to hear some collaborations with these people in the future. We had some good jamming sessions in Brussels…
