MIXSET : 2010 - A Space Travesty

noreply@blogger.com (Binster) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:41:00 +0000

New Mixset!

Not done one of these for ages, so enjoy this mixset of oddness and frivolity. Features a few remixes from me, a new one from me, loads of dancey stuff, and a little down tempo stuff too.

MUSIC : New WIP "Broken Lighthouse Initiative"

New tune on the go :

Downtempo ish melodic thingy. Enjoy, and comment away!

GENERAL : December 2009 update

noreply@blogger.com (Binster) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:15:00 +0000

The best laid plans...

The speed album project, which I mentioned in the last post, did not come to bear the fruit of a full albumsworth of music. So, apologies on promising you that.

On the plus side, the title track "Anisometric" does sound nice, so I'll finish that off and put it up for download soon.

Also, one of the other tracks worked well and with a little tweaking is working nicely as a new version of one of the large amount of old tracks which I like, but want to rework. Expect a FutureKill update soon, too!

Other than that, not much to report. Carry on!

GENERAL : November 2009 update

noreply@blogger.com (Binster) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:24:00 +0000

Not posted for a while, so post I shall.

I've embarked upon a "write an album in a month" project. It shall culminate at the end of November in a free to download album which I'm pretty certain will be called "Anisometric". So far, two tracks are on the go. Expect more. Expect a cover version of something too. :)

Otherwise, the High Eight "Thru Time" remix is still awaiting release, and along with that there's talk of Realism getting a release, but more info on that as and when.

Also, I'm working on a new game remix. More info on that, also, when the time is right.

And finally, I've added a link to the Personal Links side bar, which takes you to my Hobnox profile page. I've only just signed up, so I'm not sure what the dillyo is but I expect you'll be able to find my usual tracks up there for streaming.

Happy Bonfire Night!

SITE NEWS : New links

noreply@blogger.com (Binster) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 22:29:00 +0000

Attention all! Vaguely pointless little update this, but I've added a few links to the side bar, in the Personal Section.

You can enjoy the random madness that is my Youtube favourites list - be prepared for a lot of kitten videos - and the utter inanity of my extremely uninformative Twitter feed - be prepared for nothing spread out over eternity.

That's all - back to your lives, people, nothing to see here!

Hi8 - Thru Time (Dr.AwkwArD's Hug You Like An Animal Mix) by Binster

A new remix that I completed quite a while ago, and have been keeping under my hat since then. Just checked with High Eight from Re:Connect and he's ok with my posting it up.

Thru Time is one of my favourite of High Eight's tracks. It was a pleasure to remix it. I'll update with news of when it's coming out.

COMMUNITY : ASAP activity kersplosion

noreply@blogger.com (Binster) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:06:00 +0000

Those production masters A Scholar And A Physician have pulled out their collective finger and are making their album happen, having signed to Brainlove Records.

Step one? Release "She's A Witch" as a triple A-side single, alongside "I'm Not Normal" and "Shouldn't Dwell".

Step two? Make a video for "She's A Witch".

Dilligent followers of this anemic webpage will know that I have contributed tracks to the ASAP free albums, collaborated on the 'overnight sensation' Mario Dirty Mix with ASAP and richBRF, and have even played on stage at Truck Festival as backing for ASAP. I even rapped once. As such, I wholeheartedly endorse this product or service. As details on where to buy the single and album appear, I'll add 'em.

If you need more reason to check out the video, know this: they rhyme "Witch" with "Quidditch".

COMMUNITY : Visiting The Village

nervous_testpilot, in his other real world guise as Indie Games developer Paul Taylor has, along with co-developer Ian Hardingham, kicked off a periodic gaming discussion mp3 show called Visiting The Village.

MUSIC : MidWinter

noreply@blogger.com (Binster) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:22:00 +0000

New tune up!

Binster - MidWinter by Binster

A little bit of electromelodic loveliness to keep you warm in the winter months (sorry it's coming out towards the end of January, but I ain't a fast musicker as I'm sure the updates to this page will indicate).

Head on over to Reunion Music and you can download this track from the Music Download page - it's release #114. Enjoy!

COMMUNITY : nervous_testpilot Mirror's Edge remix

noreply@blogger.com (Binster) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 14:29:00 +0000

Still Alive - Lisa Miskovsky (nervous_testpilot's soundtrack mix) by nervous_testpilot

nervous_testpilot has produced a remix of Mirror's Edge's theme song "Still Alive" for a remix competition.

Here's details about it : Still Alive - Lisa Miskovsky - nervous_testpilot's soundtrack mix

If you like it, and you want it to be heard by EA then if you could favourite the mix on JamGlue that'd be ace. It involves signing up to the site, but it's free and seems quite nifty.

MUSIC : Mixsets streaming

noreply@blogger.com (Binster) — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:52:00 +0000

I've just uploaded all of the mixsets I've completed so far to Soundcloud. You can stream or download them, and the streaming versions have pop-up timed tracklisting info, so you can pinpoint and skip past the awful Scatman cutup I did in the 2004 Dr.AwkwArD mix.

Also, if you scroll the page down a bit and look in the right hand column, you'll find all the mixsets, along with all my other stuff, in little streaming widget thingies.

Therein you'll find a smattering of tracks from "Abandoned", plus "So Angry" and a new track, which isn't quite final yet, called "Realism". In fact, let's try embedding it...

That seems to work :)

Go there, have a listen, enjoy, and feel free to drop music that you think I'd like to hear into my drop box.

MUSIC : Trademark Collaboration Free Download

noreply@blogger.com (Binster) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:37:00 +0000

Back in 2006 Trademark asked me if I'd like to collaborate on a track with them. Seeing as they're brilliant Electro-Pop Lab Technicians, I said yes and we did.

The result has just turned up over on their website where they are currently giving away free MP3s of stuff that hasn't appeared on either of their albums, Want More and Raise The Stakes.

The track's called Get Out While I Can and I added little plinky bits and strings and synth stuff in the background.

Enjoy!
