Kobi

Some bits of sound created under the name Kobi.

These were made with AUBE, a sound generation and processing program I developed while studying. The screenshots accompanying some of the pieces show the configuration of AUBE at some point during recording. AUBE is used here like an instrument -- you (as the person making the music) can tweak all the sliders and rhythms and bring instruments in and out as you please. This makes it a whole lot more dynamic, unstructured and fun than traditional song sequencers. Anyway, these aren't really songs ...

Dozamo

Kobi-Dozamo_20000203.mp3 (9512k MP3) [9:54] (Screenshot) -- a little longer ;) Very raw ... don't blame me if this blows your expensive speakers up. All the variations etc. were produced live, it took a few minutes to set up the rhythms and ``melodies'' beforehand and then I just screwed around with it for ten minutes. The whole thing only took about half an hour to produce, from setup to creation to encoding to upload (and it shows! :)

Rhazmos

Kobi-Rhazmos_20000209.mp3 (5626k MP3) [6:00] (Screenshot) Another longer example. Lots of filtering fun going on ...
