Kanye West backing video

Kanye West was on SNL on Saturday:

I was honestly not that impressed by his performance (though I think the way hip hop artists are using auto-tuners in live settings is really funny and sounds totally strange), but was really, really into the video in the background. Something about it reminds me of one of my favorite artists, the late Jeremy Blake:



I've been making some video of my own to project behind CHAMBERS when we play, which you can see in a couple photos from Strike of the Synapse:








I'll post some more clips of interesting stuff later! (I'm technically working right now)

New at The Squarewave Parade

The Squarewave Parade makes some of the raddest equipment. Unfortunately I'm always broke and can't afford to buy any of it.

His most recent creation is called Teaspoon, which will soon be available in very limited quantities through audiobulb.com I can't really describe it, but it's sort of like a sampler with a stutter. Check out the Youtube clip to get an idea:




He also recently made more of his Downgrade pedals, which seem fucking AWESOME. They are a sample rate reducer, (similar to a bitcrush pedal), but the options on this thing really make it much more. It's even capable of being used as a standalone synth. Argh. I really want one but decided to save up for a Kaoss pad instead.

If you end up interested in any of his stuff, be sure to buy it quickly. I almost bought a Downgrade before and right as I was going to he ran out.
