More Waldorf Microwave XT Sound Samples
Recipher | 12:52 am

Well, I am back sooner than expected with even more Waldorf Microwave XT Samples, a continuation from the previous entry. I have been getting some great sounds out of it lately, working the XT much like a an old school analog modular synth. Digital, strange and evil sounds have been emanating quite easily from this orange monster. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them.

New Waldorf Microwave XT Samples, Site Update
Recipher | 1:28 am

Well, it’s been quite a while since there has been new samples uploaded to Blue Distortion. As much as I would like to keep up with this site, it unfortunately sits on the back burner for long periods of time. I do apologize for that.

More importantly, I would like to apologize to all of those that have emailed us in the last few months with tracks for the podcast. I haven’t been updating it recently. I am currently working on writing a system that will streamline the submission process and make it much easier to add tunes to the podcast. Till then, please hold tight. Now, finally, on to the new Waldorf Microwave XT samples.

James Brown, Sampled to Death
Recipher | 8:01 am

James Brown is DeadJames Brown is a household name, one of the godfathers of funk and soul. He was admitted into the Emory Crawford Long Hospital with ’severe pneumonia’ yesterday and passed away around 1:45 AM this morning. He was 73 years old. It is safe to say that James Brown rode the downward spiral in the last few decades. He was repeated arrested for drug possession and domestic abuse.

For example, did you know James Brown spent 3 years in prison for threatening pedestrians with firearms while high on PCP?

It’s the classic case of genius that self destructs into malignity. It’s easy to give respect when considering what he has done for music, but, in most cases his dark persona proceeds him.

Gaim Sound Effects (Miranda, Trillian, Skype, AIM etc.)
Recipher | 3:02 am

It’s been a while since there has been a post on Blue Distortion, so, I decided to upload a pack of sound effects that were made specifically for Gaim, a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. These can also be used for Trillian, Miranda and any other IM clients that allow you to customize the sound events.

The volume of the samples aren’t maximized / normalized so they won’t scare the hell out of you when you have the volume up really loud on your computer. There are 12 alert sounds and 4 separate login and logout sounds. More coming soon!

Gaim Sound Pack
20 sounds - 2.73 MB

At Blue Distortion, we’ve gone frog crazy! Here is a small tribute of electronic media to our little green friends. First, we have some sound samples packs. The first is of a plethora of frogs going through random rhythms. This was sampled in the late summer of 2005. The second sample pack is processed one hits from the first pack.

Submit Your Electronic Music to the Blue Distortion Podcast
Recipher | 6:43 am

Electronic Music Podcast Blue Distortion is now accepting submitted mp3s into the electronic music podcast! If you are interested in getting some exposure on our podcast, send us some information on the contact page. Be sure to include your name, artist name, website and a direct link to an mp3 file. We would prefer if they were already hosted on a server so we can just link directly to the .mp3 file, but, we can work something out if that isn’t possible. You can expect to get about 100 downloads of the file for the first week.

Of course, your information and website will be included in the podcast. If your mp3 is accepted and will be added to the podcast, we will send you an email a couple of days before we update the feed! We will not accept every file submitted. Please note that the submitted work must be produced by whomever is contacting us. Thank you for the oportunity and we look foward to hearing plenty of new songs.

In other news, Blue Distortion is now two years old! Stay tuned for more sound samples, music, artwork and photography in the upcoming year. Have a great new year!
