Ableton recently came to my studio and I showed off Puremagnetik’s Retro Synths. The video is on their home page this month along with an update for Retro Synths.

In the 2nd half of 2008, I brought various drum machines with me wherever I traveled. In passing time I documented the machines in different locations, collecting a visual and aural diary - from hotel rooms in LA to driving through the Canadian wilderness to my home in Brooklyn. This visual adventure has uniquely encapsulated an important period of my life that isn’t expressed in words or photos, but ‘bleeps’ and ‘blips’.

While the audio was overdubbed in post-production, the sound sources accurately represent the machine depicted.
