Efterklang is on tour soon. They have a new album. You should see them. This is video from their live shows.

This is the Tone Matrix by Andre Michelle. It’s a sequencer and it’s all online.

What you see here is basically a picture of a composition I made in just a few minutes. In fact if you want to hear what I made just click the same sequence of squares and viola!

This is easily hours of entertainment for anyone – even even if you’re not so musically inclined.

Go HERE to play with the original.

If  you want more control over the time signatures, sounds, effects, and some samplers try the Audiotool at hobnox.com

You should definitley listen to their album here: www.au-au-au.com and feel better about everything.

Yes, they’re actually the real deal. The album is amazing. No, they’re not from Arkansas but L.A. from what I’ve gathered but I’m still not convinced.

Listen to the whole album here:

By the way, “cokie” is cocaine and the “Gong” is Hep Jive for opium.  In longer versions of the song Minne is actually the tradgedy of the story because she ends up dying in a psych ward. You won’t hear that in the squeaky clean T.V. versions below.      Read the rest of this entry →
