Digital Vomit stuff (new threads)

Teenage Sickbag

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:39:53 +0000

So I was digging through my archives today, when I came across a collection of tracks consisting entirely of sample-pack arrangements assembled in Sonic Foundry Acid Express (those were the days…), "written" when I was 15 years of age, during time spent off sick. It's godawful, but I was thinking of releasing this collection on here as a kind of artefact of my dubious musical history. Then iivix said on Facebook that if we all went through our archives and pulled out our earliest recordings it might make for an interesting compilation. And he's right.

So your mission is to trawl your hard drives, CD-Rs and floppy discs for the earliest examples of music you've ever recorded. Not "the earliest stuff under your current name," but the absolute earliest stuff. Mine was all recorded directly to 192kbps MP3, and I'm sure the rest of you probably had similar disregard for audio fidelity back then, so there's no bitrate or format issues for this one. Put it here, send links to lee.ashcroft at hotmail.co.uk, whatever. When there's enough I'll unleash them. Oh, and if you remember, include the creation date with it too.

(Title might change.)

Bandcamp?

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:50:26 +0000

I know we all seem to be using Archive for online releases these days, but I've recently kind of fallen in love with Bandcamp. It's meant for bands who want to sell digital downloads easily, but they also have a free service too. What I really like about it is the fact that you can download audio in a number of different formats. The catch of course being that you have to upload audio in WAV format. There's also scope for layout customisation, and the Bandcamp branding isn't particularly intrusive. The whole thing just feels a lot nicer than Archive if I'm honest. I realise this probably won't be suitable for the back-catalogue, given many of the tracks are sourced from MP3s, but in future, could this be an option?

Sara Cox thinks I'm shit……………….. but then I've thought Sara Cox was shit for years, so I suppose it's only fair things have finally balanced out.

DVDVD

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 22:53:48 +0000

we've discussed this before, but i think now is definitely the time to make it happen - the Digital Vomit DVD.

we now have over 700 songs in our catalog (not including my purge disc) and well over 4 gigabytes. this is the ideal amount for an all-encompassing DVD disc.

i don't think a physical release of any kind is necessary, but rather i could create an ISO for the torrent.

with your blessing i'm gonna make this happen this week. i'm on a roll now with projects, so i wanna run with it…

can you help with a fairly big project that would be HUGE for us?

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 19:35:34 +0000

it just occurred to me in the lady gagging thread: why the hell don't we have a massive DV discography torrent uploaded? we could share every release in one fell swoop!

this could be huge for us, kids —— and right now we're hitting maximum exposure. now's the time to assemble this.

does anyone have the time or inclination to assemble all of our albums and create the ultimate torrent? i for one LOVE downloading those "complete discography" torrents — they're crazy convenient and provide the one service that soulseek lacks.

volunteers??

DV wikipedia entry

Sat, 31 Jul 2010 08:53:29 +0000

Is anyone here a wikipedia guru? I tried building a DV page and an hour of work got erased somehow.

anyways, i know they're dicks about "noteworthy" submissions, but i think we've got enough noteworthy crap about us to warrant inclusion on that damned site.

Jansky Noise - Something good is going to happen

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:12:22 +0000

This is an awesome album. I am currently listening to it and can't believe its on DV

swearing

really, get rid of the fucking "no swearing" disclaimer, whoever can do this. i'd appreciate the shit outta that.

FUKNO - Live Studio Mess remix comp

Sun, 11 Jul 2010 00:20:14 +0000

FUKNO - Live Studio Mess 2010

Here is a link to a 23-minute live set from my studio sessions during early 2010, it pretty rough and raw.

http://www.667u.com/fukno/FUKNO-LiveStudioMess-May2010.mp3

I would like folks to make samples from and remix it into tracks as a digital vomit records project. There will be no physical release of either the live set or the remixes, this will be an online and free for download project. I will compile a collection of remixes and put this out also as a DVR release when enough tracks come in I’m happy with, so there is also no deadline.

Remixes can be sent to sevenuy [at] hotmail [dot] com

DVR056 - May Cause Drowsiness

Mon, 24 May 2010 17:40:26 +0000

Yes, it's finally here. It took a little while, but we got there in the end.

The release page is HERE

Thanks to everybody who contributed and a special word of thanks to Meep for the cover.

just wondering?

Wed, 12 May 2010 11:49:38 +0000

can I reserve DVR069 for an ep that I want to release here?
I didn't know if I had to ask or just do it or what
somebody let me know.
I didn't want to just do it and assume that no one would care if it is gonna piss someone off.
Didn't know if I was still welcome here after the drowsiness comp died in my hands.

Hyper Sensitive Brilliant Child

Sun, 09 May 2010 09:45:17 +0000

DVR230 Teterom - Hyper Sensitive Brilliant Child

New album from Teterom entitled 'Hyper Sensitive Brilliant Child' completed and ready to go.
A departure from previous releases but still retaining that naive charm, hence the title.
Tracks alternate between the highly danceable and the downright avant garde.
With ,of course, some bizarre little incidentals.

New Jansky Noise release

Sun, 04 Apr 2010 00:36:33 +0000

Hi everyone,

Check it out, new release on DV from none other than Jansky Noise… Jansky Noise - Hacksome Rollrock

It's late and I'm too tired to add this to the front page right now so if someone wants to do that that'd be grand cheers.

23 years is a mighty long time

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 23:46:24 +0000

Almost 23 years ago The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu released their landmark copyright-infringing hip-hop album 1987 - What The Fuck's Going On? It was almost immediately withdrawn from sale after ABBA demanded they destroyed all remaining copies of it after lifting the entire chorus from their recording of Dancing Queen. They later went on to create pop music under the name The Kopyright Liberation Front, The KLF for short.

I think most people on here embrace or appreciate this groundbreaking attitude to sampling, so it seemed like an interesting idea for some of the DigiVom crew to whip up a few remixes of tracks from the album. This is the challenge I lay before you. You all know where to "find" the tracks; I won't be providing any links for this one.

Rules:
1) I need tracks in by the 22nd May.
2) See: #1.

I'll release one track on the 23rd May, coinciding with the 23rd anniversary of the All You Need Is Love single, then the rest on 23rd June, the 23rd anniversary of 1987 - WTFGO?

On your marks…

Get set…

Go.

DigiVom in Japan

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 02:38:31 +0000

alright, since we (i) completely hijacked oliver's thread about a german tour and sorta-maybe got the ball rolling on a japan tour in july, i figured it was time to start an official thread on the subject.

DV does Japan. July, 2010.

let's do this thing. Me (and i'm guessing matt hard off, since he lives there) are a sure thing. who else wants in? this could be beyond fucking awesome.

throw caution to the wind. buy a ticket. let's go!

seriously, how many chances do us westerners get to do soemthing like this? let's not pass this shit by…

Various - Breaking The Law is down...

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:48:20 +0000

Don't ask me why, but this afternoon I decided to check the Breaking the Law release, and the site hosting it seems to be down.
Can please repost this release somewhere or send it to me?
These days I'm thinking of breaking the law myself, seriously, so one idea was to do it while listening to this on headphones.

Appreciated!

umm..."Research Papers"?? WTF?

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:44:07 +0000

are ads now automatic on this site? and is it absolutely necessary that they look just like regular links to other pages so as to confuse visitors?

something about the "cleverness" of this new ad link leaves me fucking apoplectic.

how do we fix — NOW?

Well done everyone.
