We're streaming Interrupt tonight from 8pm (I'm on around 11pm AU time) :-) twitch.tv/ctrix64 BUT, if you are local, defs come down IRL! Kindred Bandroom (Footscray) Amazing vibes :)
Interrupt Festival is this weekend! I'm so excited (here's part of my opening tune). If you are in Melbourne, you have to come down to this - it's a once-in-5-years-event that has the best pocket music composers visiting from all edges of planet earth. Great vibes, all original music.
Getting back to funky days with a CP80 vs VDrum (played live) session. I'm always blown away that I can just take all the techniques I learnt in analogue studios and apply them in this odd hybrid DAW space! Old habbits: if I need to scroll vertically there's too many tracks! EQs all in a rack :-P
Back with the Weekly Beats for 2026! weeklybeats.com//ctrix/music... :-) First one, live drums (me) vs. the M8. Fun times... it starts of simple, but quickly unravels into some jazzy chaos!

When my Yamaha disk orchestra module is on for more than 10 mins, it suddenly says "I'm sleepy!" the goes into standby mode. So cute 🥰
Tonight! Dropping some cheeky tunes in Melbourne at The Vinyard in St Kilda 10pm. Then dropping a stream from 2am AU time (UK afternoon, US late afternoon) :-)
RIP Seiki Kato san; head of Korg prod planning in late 80s. He inspired the engineers to push the M1 to its limits even tho it seemed cost prohibitive; worked overtime with the sound designers; and just as he predicted, ROM prices fell just in time. For a while, Korg wore the multi-timbral crown!
Here's something for you to Zone out to. A while back we built a 12 x 16 lighting grid from addressable DMX poles and 0F.D and TommityTom made a timed MIDI / DMX show. Tommitytom coded up an arduino driver board and full pre-viz platform to test it on. Cheers for the vid datagoth!)

The percussion on this is absolutely wild. Sample gold I tell ya! I vaguely remember buying this years ago after quite a few drinks in Tokyo (inevitably ended up in a record store!) Somehow got slid in the trance section of my collection. It's always awesome to rediscover a random record!
Woooo! Midinize comp arrived :-D I've got a tune called "Tinkles" on it. (NTSC Megadrive FM track). www.3cm.jp/midinize4/
The battle to contain the FM bass when you let it get outta control!
Mood : Orange. Jams on the M8 for up and coming show down at the Catfish on the 8th Feb
Anyone up for a DIY flight sim livestream tonight?! Now with twin engine mode. I'll be dropping a few new tunes in the background too. :-P 8:30pm AEDT www.twitch.tv/ctrix64
Arrite - let's see if this blusky thing can post previews of Amiga synthwave bangers. Let's face it - that's half my use case!
Well - I guess it was inevitable that we'd all end up here! :-P Curious to see who's made it here... but for now... this is 2 of my favourite m8s hanging out!
