  • Septembeat 25

    Septembeat 25! This one made with Drambo on iOS

  • Septembeat 24

    Here’s my 24th track for Septembeat. This time the glitches are a little more subtle.There’s even a little bit of a melody!

  • Septembeat 23

    Some instrumental boom zap hip-hop in 3

  • Septembeat 22

    Keeping the hip-hop + glitch theme, here’s another boom zap track. The 22nd track I’ve made this month for Septembeat

  • These adorable violets are growing out of our sidewalk

  • Facebook doesn’t like my blog

    Seems like Facebook isn’t a fan of sharing links that go to my blog. Either that or it’s offended by boom zap.

  • Septembeat 21

    Another boom zap jam. Comparatively laid back to some of my other recent tracks.

  • This kid reads and reads and reads and reads. Books, graphic novels, magazines, everything.

  • Septembeat 20

    Leaning hard into the boom-zap now. I also drew some sounds (yes really)

  • Earth Wind and Fire day!!

    The day is finally here. To celebrate, listen to my chiptune arrangement of “September”! https://chrisbeckstrom.bandcamp.com/track/5ept3mber POWER-UP! by Chris Beckstrom

  • Septembeat 19

    “Now that’s what I call boom-zap!” I love hip-hop. I love boom-bap hip-hop. I love glitchy electronic stuff. I haven’t heard a ton of music that puts those together (please let me know if you know artists who do!!) Glitch madness, boom-bap, and some rhodes. Classic combo. There’s also loads of sounds from my DIY…

  • Septembeat 18

    You’ve heard of boom bap and maybe mod bap, but have you heard of boom zap?

  • “Dad I almost match your old 90’s keyboard”

  • John Ham

  • Septembeat 17

    This one is fairly intense! I wrote simpler Tidalcycles code than usual and used lots of spectral processing in Pure Data to get weird sounds

  • Burtomato Reynolds

  • Check out this fuzzy spiky caterpillar

  • Went to a bowling alley the other day and it was the most sensory overload I’ve had in a while.

  • Septembeat 16

    Keeping on with the glitch theme for Septembeat

  • Here, have a fuzzy sun kitty

  • Septembeat 15

    Super glitch. Mega glitch. Hyperglitch? Hip-hop? I created the overall sound in Tidalcycles, recorded it into Reaper, then used extensive automation, time stretching, and effects to glitch it up. Here’s the Tidal code:

  • Septembeat 14

    Extra glitching on this one! This uses many of the glitches samples I created yesterday

  • Septembeat 13

    Making some glitches today, and if you want you can download the free sample pack with 122 glitchy sounds

  • Ruby says “Dad what the heck even is this thing? Is it ok if I bite all of the patch cables?”
