so my tabla machine, which i love dearly, has lost its freaking mind. it has a “composer” mode where you can program two beats of up to 100 steps each. i was programming a regular 32 step loop when it went completely apeshit and started playing a 334 step pattern of fucked up noises that most certainly do not come from a tabla. check it out. it gets really heavy somewhere around beat 227.
so i was woken up at 4AM this morning by a hellacious bass-heavy explosion that shook the earth for, like, a minute. i quickly realized what was happening - NUCLEAR WAR - and reached immediately for my solid state audio recorder (cuz if the world is gonna end then *someone* should at least make a decent stereo field recording of the shit going down, right? right). it turned out to be a thunderstorm. i thought it was only supposed to rain in india during the monsoon season! wtf? i want my money back. anyway here’s the recording.
