The Megaupload 'Situation'

Sorry for the inconvenience!

All free Dubbhism netlabel album downloads (the .rar files) and all sound design-related downloads (IRs, analog filter sound examples etc.) are temporarily unavailable. You can still download individual tunes at the Dubbhism SoundCloud page.

Hopefully the .rar files will be back online within a week.

As you may know the FBI has taken Megaupload offline and right now we're looking for a new place to store our stuff. It's up to you to think of this as merely annoying or as a major moment in the history of the free world and the internet. Dubbhism is anti police-state (duh) and we nuh like what a gwaan (duuuuhh). The Megaupload guy is an asshole but the FBI, Steve Jobs, the Evil Apple Empire and the United (Police)States are much worse. They make the rules, unless you stop them. Megaupload is small potatoes, watch out for the Bigger Bosses.

Vandera mixtape for FatKidOnFire

Dubbhism has a soft spot for mad music scientists. Dutch Londener Vandera (neuroscience) is definitely a member of that tribe. He got a lot of praise recently for a 60-minute mix showcasing 60 tracks, all in C-minor. Surely the work of a madman. Check out this interview at FatKidOnFire and listen to his new mix

Music and mathematics

Music and mathematics seem to be related, but the exact nature of this relation is not very clear. For example, some people see Fibonacci numbers everywhere in music, others think that fractals and algorithms are actually musical compositions, some are inspired by Pythagoras and search for the 'perfect tuning' of their instruments, and some people believe that Mozart coded the secrets of the pyramids in his works... and so on and so on...

Kandinsky style visualizations

Numbercult is a music & visualization 'project' from Glasgow. It looks very Kandinsky.

Spring reverb showcase by Vadav Selector

In the 70s and early 80s the oldskool dub producers like King Tubby and Scientist all used a so-called spring reverb for their dubs. Nowadays dub producers who work 100% digital can emulate that characteristic spring reverb sound with impulse responses.

Xenharmonics ~ ancient conjunctions at the apex of harmonic universe

The CAPRICORN speaks:

Thousands of years ago man crawled out of the jungle and became a modern citizen. As the way of life of the PLANTER was now centered around the change of SEASONS, man quickly discovered that the doctrines of MATHEMATICS have great affinity with the structure of UNIVERSE and even MUSIC.

Keith Richards vs Modular Synthesis

Wow Keith that's a really nice sine wave!! Scene from Mario Shifano’s 1969 film Umano non Umano.

Vintage electronica and sound design

One thing that's good about the 'good old days' of electronic sound & music was the lack of equipment. The FAIRLIGHT IPHONE APP did not exist. Musicians, engineers and sound designers wore lab coats and were getting their sonic results with the stuff that was available.
