Noah Vawter Writes:
It is played on two instruments, a bass and tenor ‘eel.’ Based on the Medieval instrument called the serpent, sliding gestures from the body power a microcontroller-based synthesizer and allow the performers to inflect some of the traditional expressive affordances on electronic music.

” The YM2151 is an FM sound synthesizer that is very popular in Japan. It was used in many arcade systems, including the CPS1, and was also in the MSX and X68000 home computers” . Also check out this teaser of a new tracker for it:

Neil Baldwin updates us on his music driver:
I had a pitch-bend function in my old drivers but it was clumsy and most of the calculations were done in macros. For Nijuu I wanted portamento like it should be done. You just turn it on on a track and specify the number of frames over which the pitch sweep should occur and then just continue entering notes into the sequence like normal. All your notes will be smoothly pitch-swept from one to the other, forever, until you turn Portamento off again. It also only works in Legato mode, kind of like old mono synths where if you play without overlapping the notes, the portamento has no effect.
“The Mysterious H” has uploaded two new releases on his site, The Spacegod 7, and The Battle Makes My Blood Boil“, for fans of power prog-punk chip insanity.
DuckSlinger is a new Tracker for the Nintendo DS that was announced at BlockParty. The interface looks a bit spartan, but the website has demos from Coda and Virt, so you already have no shot at being the best composer for it.
EDIT: Forgot to mention this appears to be a PSG based tracker. This means you use the Internal DS sounds instead of samples to create your sounds!
Glomag has covered the title track of a new New Order Tribute Comp “Ceremony”. Stream it on Myspage.org.
Stevens has a new Podcast on Tiga’s label.
Ahead of my release for Tiga’s label Turbo Recordings
and also that of my remix for him, I was asked to do a podcast
selecting some of my own tracks. I’m not just posting this here in the
slight possibility people are interested – I also play two of my
favourite pieces of video game music, namely ‘Hydrocity Zone 2’ from
Sonic 2 and ‘Inside the Deku Tree’ from Zelda OoT.
