![]() ![]() ![]() Just like grunge influenced the first string of SoundCloud rappers-who were born in the mid- to-late 90s-similarly 2000s music is returning as a nostalgic touchstone for a new wave of producers and performers. Bladee, the Drain Gang rapper who veils his voice in an ethereal mist of Auto-Tune, also seems to be a central reference. It’s essentially an evolution or a sister-genre of hyperpop, although some artists in the scene may also fit under the label “hyperpop,” which has become a sort of umbrella term for fast, experimental electronic pop.ġ00 gecs, the genre-annihilating duo whose goofy chaos-pop walked the tightrope between inventive and outrageous last year, are emerging as a key influence. Cook and apply it to an array of styles, such as trap and alt-rock. This glitch wave, while similar, isn’t exclusively pop-these artists draw on the cellophane flavor of hyperpop artists like SOPHIE and A.G. There is some overlap between this new scene and hyperpop, which refers to the sparkly, exaggerated electronic pop subgenre that erupted in the middle of the '10s. Unlike the old SoundCloud rap, though, these rappers and singers pull as much from hyperpop and 2000s electronica and pop as they do Lil B and Chief Keef. It’s a messy, hilarious blitz of digital malfunction. ![]() Avalanches of clip art and freaky GIFs rain down on him. Clips rewind, speed up, stretch, layer, rotate, turn green, saturate to oblivion. But he filters the visuals the same way he does the vocals-through a ridiculous, infectious gridwork of glitches. In the video, David Shawty is doing what has been done in rap videos a thousand times over: he’s walking, dancing, menacingly waving his fingers in the air. The moment lasts for only a second before, like a show that was only buffering momentarily, he finishes his thought: “D-dancing on the sidewalk, lights flicker.” The rest of the track continues like this, cycling between coherent sentences and pitch-fried croons. “D-d-d-d,” he warbles, his voice injected with a ludicrous amount of aural Botox (Auto-Tune, pitch shift). These are the sounds of a rapper’s voice spliced into fragments, placed in front of nearly every bar, like punctuation. Suddenly, though, you hear a slew of stutters as fast as bullets. Disembodied coos from the rapper, David Shawty, warp around the soundscape. Each song sequence can be saved on disk as well for safe keeping.Hit play and everything seems normal at first. For example, you can take the single tom sound and create a rich sequence of multiple toms in various pitches like in our demo song. Each drum sound can also be re-pitched or "tuned" to the users preference inside the "Tone" section of any pattern. You can create up to 16 unique drum patterns and arrange them into 256 available arrangement slots. The DMS Drummer monophonic sequencer patterns have 16 spaces. DMS Drummer also has a massive sequencer built-in for song writing or just some creative noodling. It comes complete with 8 drum sounds: Bass, Snare, Rim Shot, Hand Clap, Tom, Hat Open, Hat Closed, and Lazer. The DMS Drummer is the only wavetable based Drum Sequencer for the Apple //e, IIc, IIc+, and IIGS computers. All other musical instruments are by our original Apple II DMS Digital Music Synthesizer. This is the demonstration track for our new DMS Drummer software for the apple II!Īll drum sounds are from the DMS Drummer except the explosions.
