Objects From The World Of Machines - 1 May 2008
Episode 20: Thanks for "tuning in" again. Can you "tune in" a podcast? I guess I should say thanks for "clicking in" instead. Anyhow, Episode 20 was inspired by a Mystechs remix I did last month. After struggling with it, I went off the deep end at a very aggro 200 bpm and turned out a heavy gabba mix. Apparently that broke something loose and Episode 20 of Objects From The World Of Machines is the result. Here I've returned to what I will call an illbient sound, although you will hear elements of electronic artists from Cornwall in it too. It's experimental. It's interesting to listen to. I've had it going in the background at work the last couple of days and it's worked well for me.

Objects From The World Of Machines - 1 April 2008
Episode 19: Continues in the experimental bent of Episode 18, but with groovier beats.
Objects From The World Of Machines - 5 March 2008
Episode 18: Features a more experimental bent than my most recent podcasts. No seperate songs stiched together here. This podcast is like a DJ mix...but with lots of abstract rhythms and soundscapes, odd fx/samples and basslines and haunting melodies. This one performed live in my "blue room" office studio.
Objects From The World Of Machines - 10 February 2008
Episode 17: I'm not sure how to describe this one. I guess IDM comes the closest. I've pulled in 8-bit drums and bass, so it has a chip-tune sonic pallet, but I've glitched up the drums (when don't I) and added a few other glitch and "found sound" elements to it. There are mangled guitar riffs interspersed through out.
So when it comes down to it, you choose the genre:
(a) IDM
(b) Glitch
(c) 8-bit or chip-tune
Objects From The World Of Machines - 5 January 2008
Episode 16: Features deconstructed 80s riffs, glitched up drums, electro beats for seasoning, funk guitars, phat bass lines and even a little prog rock thrown in. Just add reverb and shake.
Objects From The World Of Machines - 15 December 2007
Episode 15: Features a mix of 6 glitched up drum'n'bass tunes, produced in a marathon session last night. The pace is frantic and reflects, which reflects my recent weeks.
Objects From The World Of Machines - 10 November 2007
Episode 14: Features a mix of 6 electronica songs which have been under construction by DJ Dazed of DREAMDAZE for the last couple of days. Each makes use of a more rock-oriented bassline, glitched up rock drums and various poptronica synth lines. Each song is sprinkled with vinyl scratches and a variety of vocal samples.
Objects From The World Of Machines - 28 September 2007
Episode 13: Features an ambient techno mix by DJ Dazed of DREAMDAZE. This track was recorded live at my dining room table and features glitched up breakbeats mixed with IDM-ish bass, pads and fx. It's very non-abrasive, very interesting and highly listenable. Hint: it's like a Shakespearean play, climaxing in the middle.
Objects From The World Of Machines - 24 September 2007
Episode 12: Features an electronic music mix by DJ Dazed of DREAMDAZE, inspired by last weekend's performance by SinCroNation, Wicker Basket and Protman. The keyboard and tempo ideas come from SinCroNation, the beats are based on Wicker Basket, and the glitched-up madness demonstrate Protman's influence.
