Food For Free - Spivkurl

Description : A song I released in 2009 on my album Circle, Full Circle. Definitely a strange one! Has lots of circuit bend sounds! Have fun!

Edit: Since Looperman was kind enough to add an 8 bit chip tune circuit bent genre, I will put this in it since it fits pretty well. Thanks Shan!

Honestly, this track is so weirdly good. Well done!

Well i have to admit that i haven't a clue what an 8 bit track is so you'll have to excuse me as i have nothing to compare it to. It reminds me a little of the soundtrack to an old arcade game like donky kong or sum ting.
It's definitely got a unique sound to it and i can just picture mario (version 1) trying to jump those barrels to get to the lady at the top.
Interesting tune and it sounds good after a few buds (the beer not the green stuff)

Hey buddy! Well, 8 bit is pretty much what most of the old games and toys were back in the day, so your comparison to arcade games is pretty accurate. Atari made 8 bit home computers in the 70's and 80's, and actually up til '92 which surprised me. When Shan added this genre, he referred to it as "8 bit chiptune circuit bent," and since this one is primarilly circuit bent I thought I'd switch the genre. Glad I could enhance your beer drinking a little! Thanks for listening!

This is awesomely weird! I've always been interested in circuit bending but never took the time to try to hack some old toys just asking to have a second life.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
I can picture tiny robots on helium trying to sing something, too cool!

Hey good to hear from you! I'm glad you enjoyed this madness! Yeah circuit bending is a lot of fun, but it takes dedication. I mostly just play with the toys I bent back in the day! Thanks for the comment!

admirable work!

Definately one of my favorites, if not THE favorite of all looperman-tracks. I downloaded this and listen to it often, because I like it so much.

now this is creative: I'm impressed. makes me think of a machine producing food. it's quite hilarious actually - at 3:07 the machine seems to be running out of battery, I'd personally have faded the track out there because after a while it gets repetitive after a while...

your sounds are like characters, spiv - full of personality. i read Behnam's comment above - he is right - it conjures some imagery - perhaps some animation. but it also has a hypnotizing quality that is twisted, disturbing. a lot of levels to your stuff - congrats my friend!

Now don't take this the wrong way but I sort of laughed when I heard this. It reminds me of either internet trolls or just interesting people, such as Johnny Depp and his characters. lol. Nice piece, man.

Hehe, lots of fun here!

I can imagine this playing in the background for one of those practical joke shows.

It may be weird, but I'm learning that all muzic can be used for SOMETHING. What I like most about it is it's outside "the box" :-)

Cool cool cool thing, how do you make these beats? I love them So much
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 8th Jun 2013 - 13 years ago
Thanks so much! I made the beats by recording some glitch sessions with my circuit bent toys, and then chopping them into one shots with Slicex. Then I sequenced them. Pretty fun! I appreciate the comment!

You`ve got to have an artistic mind that flys in its own atmosphere to do this kind of stuff Spiv...at least that my thought...I never could find a place for them in my head (I`m a produce of old playing habits I guess)....You are obviously one of those creative minds that know how to make it work....so thank you...I`m glad we have places like Looperman where we can find this kind of creativity & turn off our stupid commercial radios.....Ed

Description : I wanted to create a Euro dance anthem with a hip hop beat and a lower bpm than the traditional 128 to 136 bpm range. This is the beat I created. No AI has been used in this track. I created everything myself. It is a purely instrumental beat. I used Rapid Synth for the euro lead sound and the melody has been composed by me. The drums are a loop from this site.
