の話題作, oh yeah!

Secret Exitの話題作「Zen Bound」の続編が近日公開、iPadにも対応

As told by ipodtouchlab. I’m certain. Yay! :)

Also, still loving this Minusbaby track to bits: .. .. .. And, I must admit, DO LIKE!

Battery Status: [♦♦······················]

Every morning my eyes hurt a bit more. Of course coffee, the universal remedy, will stabilize me some but it’s getting slightly annoying anyhow. I can usually go with very little sleep or rest, now I kind of miss free time and my six hours of sleep. Next month, I suppose.
We’re finishing Zen Bound 2 [...]

Ghost Monkey! Ghost Monkey?

(added as a new page (as if anyone ever red PAGES online) but i figured this is nice to have here, too, as a commercial break.
♠ Ok, I’m not stupid, it’s kinda music but what IS this Ghost Monkey anyhow?

Ghost Monkey is me, sometimes with friends. It’s not exactly outside genres but I do like [...]

A couple of tracks

Fax

Our office has a fax machine. We’re at 358-9-3866038, how about yours?
With the internet and all, faxes should be in the bin now, all of them, but since a faxed contract is a different thing from an electronic, unprinted one (how exactly?), faxes are still needed in some offices.
Since faxing doesn’t cost much at all [...]

J’bab, I’ve owned over 50 synths!

ok, boring audio talk with a bunch of odd sci-fi names coming up.
as far as synths and drum machines are concerned, here’s my current kit list:

elektron monomachine
dsi evolver
akai mpc 1000
yamaha rs-7000
yamaha cs-5
yamaha a-5000
jomox mbase01
waldorf micro-q
and i think i’m ready to let even some of those go. the later ones on the list, that is :D
that’s [...]

Link Monday

And now, a truly random selection of links. As in “blog”.

This is still my favourite Little Boots track, ironically, since it’s a bedroom live Hot Chip cover. Not over-produced, at any rate!
The Carousel was the moment I realized that I had to see Mad Men, all of it. Plus, maybe the best soundtrack moment [...]

Fast Food : Pitafel

Pitafel by polyfonken

I really like Logic 9, made some takeaway. Might be a bit harsh on old ears, I’ve done my worst to make fast food joint music. Still to come some day: Iskender Donor, Kbab Donor and Meatigan Menu.
EDIT: MONDAY ADDITION : LOGIC DISTORTIONS AND AMP DESIGNER
I also spent some [...]

Sample libraries worth buying

(file under: more musical notes after 2am)
When not doing “sketches for real instruments”, I usually tend to sample the sounds I use and wouldn’t want to use a preset or a drum loop someone else has made, unless it’s for the comedy effect. Since I can’t play for shit, I consider the sound, the tonality, [...]

A midnight-to-one rant about game music!

See, I think game music is a genre that shouldn’t exist, in games, anyway. Game Music, as in Reggae, Pop, Communist Lawful Evil and all those other genres. For those willing to retain a shred of sanity on not interested in pointless rants, maybe skip ahead?
At first the music for games was mainly just bleeps. [...]

Chopper / Walker

It’s been nice to do nothing special except a bit of music and recording of random objects! I made this walker (in the beginning of the clip) out of a 9 euro RC battle chopper, it makes brilliant noises as it crashes or is unable to turn. I’d imagine all kinds of toys would turn [...]

Coffee and Soul revisited

Coffee and Soul explained

Misters Leek and Delicious

Crushing vegetables for science.

Welcome to my new 1998!

Flash. Yeah. It’s easy to learn and making it look good is not too hard, either.
All hail the new site, less flashy and hopefully more usable than earlier. For me at least, adding stuff to this is pleasant compared to editing text files to config which songs I wanted the previous Polyfonken site to play… [...]

Traditional Oldshit Slideshow 2

This batch deals mostly with Coke Studios:

Traditional Oldshit Slideshow 1

Being kind of lazy for someone who can’t stop for a second, I decided to add the stuff in my former flash portfolio here as single plates. Besides, if you want to see pictures, this is one way.
This post will have a bunch of Habbo stuff. Sulake. Really nice people, good times.

A three-track sampler of Ghost Monkey stuff after Tea. From an album that’s expected in early 2032.

Polyfon Soundlab : Free Dreams (2002)
