I spent these last 2 days at the festival Rock en Seine with the Dataglitch crew. Divag, Bitcrusher, Confipop, Gakona and me played music and presented circuit bending to the masses. Around 100 000 showed up during the three days of festival with cool bands like Foo Fighters and Battles. We were just near the biggest stage, in a booth sponsored by Converse.

On Saturday, I played right after Mike Skinner (The Streets) in the afternoon. In the evening, there was a little party for kids where I played during Grampamini set, covers of TTC and Bit Shifter. On Sunday, I played after Simple Plan and before my Chemical Romance ! Tsugi Mag went by the booth and quite enjoyed my techno bangers as they stated on twitter.

I had a wonderful time playing there ! You can see a leaked video of me on Youtube, I will give you just one hint: I was tagged as “Video Game Dj”.

This week end, I was playing in Hungaria, as part of Budapest Micro IV ! I would like to thank you every single person who came over and the people who made this wonderful event possible. If I could sum up the night in one word I would say Kanagawa. Kanagawa is Áron Birtalan new band. They take you on an experimental post-rock-electro sea of indescribable waves. That was one of the many highlight of the night ! I also had the wonderful opportunity to play right before Sabrepulse. Check this video of him introducing my set.

I am the last update of Ego Twister’s Movie ruiner compilation !! I choosed to cover Vangélis’ Classic Blade Runner End Theme. For this I only used SNES samples and tried to be as faithful as possible but added a little dancey vibe to it. You can get the full compilation HERE. Hurry up before Bandcamp delete this, it is not permitted to upload covers anymore …

During the last Artgame Week end, Realmyop gathered a team to develop ARTags, an incredible application for Android smartphones.

ARTags, is the first application that lets you draw wherever and whenever you want to leave your mark in augmented reality. Thanks to a very simple and intuitive application, you can express yourself on your own mobile phone. Once your “tag” is completed, you can drop it in an augmented reality browser (Layar, Wikitude or Junaio) and leave your mark without altering reality. Available now for your Android smartphone !!

As a sound designer, I had the opportunity to work on the teaser. I made a little background song which illustrate Realmyop’s presentation and emphasize the key aspects of the application. Watch the teaser now on Vimeo !!! (Uber sexy voice by Chris Burke aka Glomag)

Jellica, the infamous English boss of Kittenrock made this little Mixtape. Featuring songs by Dr. Von Pnok, David Sugar, Uoki-Toki and many more !!

The Super Bugtendo is a circuit bent Super Nes with a Bliptronic 5000 as a glitch controller. I made the music for the making of, using SNES game music samples that I ripped from a ROM. tried to respect the SNES limitation as much as possible: 16-bit ADPCM // 8 channels // I used 44 KHz 16-bit Stereo samples, though. (The snes only supports 32 kHz 16-bit stereo). So the quality is a bit better :p
