This is the cilling saga of when the 8 bit digital Schumer hits the fan. Be there when a venerable flea market computer is tasked with analyzing the schematics of something called a Death Star for any weaknesses. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.

After a long break, I bring you a 'mixtape' of DLC episodes. A clash of sounds to end the Summer and it's a long one. I'm considering releasing this as an EP. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

Last time, I presented the "lost episode". This episode, however, might be the one that you'd wish I lost to begin with. Happy 2009! email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

This was meant to be Episode 93, but something happened and I lost it. So 93 became something else and this one was tucked away on a backup DVD for 2 years. I happened on it by chance and made some tweaks and added a few things. So, here's the Lost Episode of the DLC. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

Citi gets bailed out and we wait to see who's next. About 25 years ago, John Cougar "needed a lover that won't drive him crazy". And just last year we found out that Bono didn't hold the record. He WAS the record! Don't worry. What you're hearing has nothing to do with any of this. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

Once again, I attack my MPC 1000. Over 1300 sounds, some dating back more than 20 years are unleashed in mutant form. I played all of this live... no edits! Be afraid. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

Here's a glitchy little treat to start a new week. I played this all live on the MPC 1000 as you hear it. All the sounds are mine, some going back over 20 years. All chopped up and reassembled for your listening pleasure. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

Listen Now:

This one was especially fun. Skirting the breakcore, glitchcore, chipcore, corecore, and chaos genres, this episode was done completely live on the Akai MPC1000. I even cut 3 of my fingers from hitting the pads so hard. All the samples are my own creations and you may even recognize some tiny chunks from earlier episodes of the DLC - since I love to hack up my own work. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

It's yet another brain bender. This is the first time I've used my new Akai MPC 1000 in a production - as I've only had it a few days. But, there's lots more than the MPC going on, of course like field recordings and synthesizer stuff. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

A step forward in processing audio. This is like show 109 (show 109 was the source audio), but where 109 had over a thousand edits, this show has none. That's right, this was all done live using the audio from DLC-109. I created the processor using Reaktor 5 and processing is all live and somewhat ramdom. No 2 performances are the same even if the same source audio is used. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

You'd think I like editing audio or something. Why? Well, if you saw the Pro Tools session for this podcast, you'd see ass loads of edits. But it's all about the sound. Headphone listening recommended. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

Messing with voice. I take 'the sounds in my head' clip and abuse it. Chop it up, move bits around, chop some more. Then cut it up and rearrange stuff again. Then play bit of it while recording to a CD. Then take that CD and scratch it up and re-record it. You get the picture. email: mike@regurgitron.com web: www.michaeloster.com

I circuit bent Sputnik. At least that's how the tale goes. I purchased a strange, beat up orb from a flea market for 2 dollars. Opened it up and rewired it's guts. Now it's a musical instrument!
