Hi all !!

I’ve added 2 videos from a concert in October. The sound is a bit crappy (camera’s mic) but you’ll see some shruthis in action !

Here on my youtube channel

Cheers !

Hi guys !

Some fresh news of Boomtrapped !

The first EP "Op-amp" should come out in the next 2 weeks ! Containing 4 songs on the physical (mini) CD, and 2 more songs for download.

It's an all-by-myself made object (except the printing). As there are principally shruthis in the songs, I decided the graphical design would be inspired by a part of the SMR4 filter board !



The packaging will be really unique and the sonic object will be sold 5 € (without shipping costs). The digital version will include different audio format and a special design for cristal CD caddy (??).

All the tracks are listenable online on boomtrapped' bandcamp:

Hope you'll enjoy the tunes !

Cheers !

Tom.

Great music! Thanks for sharing it!

@Tom: really? What did you use?

Big linux fan here. so great to see projects like this! actually I’ve tried in the past to work with linux abd free audio software, but I failed. it was before I went “back to hardware” though…
how did you solve the eternal incompatible-hardware problem with sound and midi interfaces?

it was the firewire audio interface part that was the problem, then when I got it to work they took the rt kernel out of the ubuntu repos.
anyway jack is quite amazing!

I managed to listen to the album a couple of times, there’s some really good traks on it. I can feel some strong passion in this music. I also think that one can hear the process, the way it was made in it, it sounds free and spontaneus.

“It sounds free and spontaneous”....exactly what I’d like to hear each time someone listens to my music…Everything is recorded live:

- no midi automation at all (except note sequencing as I’m unable to play correctly keyboards). filtering and else is recorded on the fly (after many many tries) – a choice to have no huge production (a few eqs on some tracks, but not a lot).

Weird approach at these times of infinite choices of VST....but I need (and want) to limit these choices to produce something convenient !

Hello guys!!

For those interested in buying my EP (sold at only 5€), it’s now possible using paypal.

Unique and original packaging, I promise !

PS: Olivier, if you consider this is not the place, just delete this post ;-)

Thank you man ! You’re my first paypal buyer ! Great !

Hy guys !

here are some news from boomtrapped. I’m working on my scenography right now, and I will be using 3D modeling in the videos I’ll use. As usual, I’m using free softwares…For the 3D, it’s Blender 2.63

As an exercice, I made a (simple) teaser..All sounds on the videos are made with SMR4 and digi/FX shruthi (except the fat bass….used a MS20)

That’s the link

I hope you’ll like it….And if it’s the case, share !

Cheers,

Tom.

Great track, it’s coming along nicely! I must also say that I can really hear some notable improvement in how you approach making the tracks, your first ones sometimes sounded a bit messy, the newer tracks sound a lot more like you know where you want to go! Keep it up!

Some Wwork in progress ….No mastering, rough mix…

what do you think of this beginning tune ?

don’t hard-pan your lead/bass synth. Otherwise there’s a lot of potential, i do like it. Take a bit more time to build the tune, add some barely audible elements and it will be a hit :)
