  • All the music in the videos on this channel is made on a homemade rig. It's a machine that's a labour of love; evolved over time and called the Electrog Rig.
    Sometimes works, currently hobbling, made up essentially of a Commodore 64, an Acorn Electron, the Arduino bsed Minipops drum machine, tone generators on PCB kits and a few other bits mixed together in a way that could catch fire at any moment.
    The Acorn Electron runs some BASIC programs; a few noise generators by me, a synth of sorts, and a few type-in programs from 'Electron User' magazine from the 80s such as a drum machine, etc.
    For the most part, the C64 is running a speech synthesiser from back in the day called SAM, the SID-WIZARD chiptracker, and a software synthesiser called Cynthcart that's driven my a MIDI connected piano keyboard.
    But naturally, you can still play games on both the C64 and Acorn Electron.

    You'll also hear some electric guitar and bass guitar in some of the tunes, as well as various guitar effects pedals that come and go with time as money allows.

    Sorry about the variable voice quality in this video; I had to run a mic through the rig so that I could capture the music from the rig satisfactorily and, as you can tell, I was having a few issues!
    Thanks for watching!

      You are most kind, thank you! Honestly, it all can together more by luck than judgement, but I'm really happy with the results.
      Thank you for taking the time to watch it; glad you enjoyed the video!
