Another track inspired by a visit to the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park. The Altair 8800 had no built-in screen or video output, so it would have to be connected to a serial terminal (such as a VT100-compatible terminal) to have any output. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altair_8800

It was mixed in the AUM app on my iPad and used the excellent apps Bleass Slow Machine, WebSDR, Magic Dice, auDSPr and Barricade.

This track used a Behringer Pro-1 synth (kindly on-loan from a friend), and played using the arpeigiator on my Arturia Keystep. It was mixed via a Behringer Xenyx 502 and Behringer UCA202 into Audacity (with some additions of numerous effects and stuff).

The original idea for this track came when I took delivery of a new toy a EMF v1.2 which is a handheld device that lets you listen to electromagnetic fields. I used this to record (using an old Olympus dicataphone) the sounds coming from my Android phone and with the EMF connected up to my Behringer Neutron synth to filter the sounds. This sample was then loaded up into the AU app on my iPad and then manipulated with the effects Bleass Slow Machine and Rymdigare.

Recorded in AUM using apps WebDSR (which lets you play online radio stations across various wavelengths), Stria (a synth), Beatcutter (creates lots of crazy glitch sounds). Effects came from Dubstation 2, Bleass Slow Machine and Barricade (a limiter/compressor).

Back in 2016 I released my Music For Schools album. I thought that I would start work on volume 2. As with the first volume these tracks will try and get some of the feel of the soundtracks from the schools TV programmes that I grew up with in the 70s and 80s. This track is all mixed in AUM and makes use of the apps Fundamental, auGENx, ID700, Fugue Machine and Rozeta LFO. Effects came from Eventide Shimmerverb.

This is another piece for the Conjunctions series of tracks. I recorded some sounds from my Moog Theremini onto the Koala Sampler app on my phone which I used to mash up sounds which were then uploaded into the Auria app on my iPad for further tweaks.
