Concretedog - Interviewing The Acid Typewriter by warmdata

Aah back to building!

So whilst I was working on the album (due for release soon - more details to come) I enforced a no build rule as it was the only way to get the thing done as building synthy music stuff is a hole into which to pour time! Anyway the ban is lifted so I am setting about a project. Above is a video of me explaining a prototype of part of this bonkers sequencer I'm trying to design and build from CD4013 Dual D type flip flop ic's. The video shows some of its main functions namely the ability for it to skip steps but also it will have a sort of matrixing of switches allowing high steps to be sent to different places and even the ability to run smaller sequences within the sequence like two 3 step sequencers running and recirculating within an 8 step sequencer.....its hard to explain! Heres a picture of the design of the switching matrix/logic layout if you're into that sort of thing!

I'll keep posting as things progress!

Happy New Year all also

Album Preview "The Coracle and The Yellow Shell

Album Preview "The Coracle and The Yellow Shell by concretedog

Just thrown up a little preview handful of tracks from my new album "The Coracle and the Yellow Shell". It's scheduled for release on warm data under catalogue number DAT031 sometime late Jan early Feb 2012....I'm going to release it on a pay what you think it's worth/donation type scheme so everyone can get it!

For the people who listened to my last ep (some years ago) this album is quite a different bag as although it uses much electronic/homebuilt/hacked stuff it features much more acoustic instrumentation and has a different vi be about it. If you are however desparate to support concretedog in the meantime you can always purchase my last ep "Until Forever" here ;)

Album tracks finished Artwork on the way.

Aaaaah indeed, I have finished mixing the album and the artwork is in the pipeline. Then hand it to the labelboss who will curate and describe and release......can't wait.....not long now....
