Attention all Zappoids!
Here is whats happening at Irdial-Discs!
Released 30th October:
'MARIOPAINT' LP + DC
Irdial discs is proud to present the first 3 releases of the new
supergroup known asThe Electric Family.
The members of this supergroup are scooped from the cream of the
underground electronic music scene. The projects of The Electric
Family are based on strict briefs; the complete opposite of the
almost absolute freedom that is the norm in most Irdial-Discs
recording projects.
The brief for this first release was to use the Nintendo Super
Famicom video game machine running the Mariopaint cartridge, and
one studio effect to create a five minute track in four days or
less.
In addition to the LP brief, four members of The Electric
Family were asked to come up with tracks for a 12inch ep, with the
instruction that they must include sounds from the Mariopaint
package, along with anything else they liked.
Mariopaint is a fun painting package, that has an animation section
a paint section and a triphonic music sequencer. The music
sequencer is extremely basic and very simple to use, though it is
not easy. There are 12 sounds available in the programme, each of
which is represented by an icon. The sequencer has a maximum of 24
bars, so each of the 8 compositions on the Mariopaint LP had to
be constructed from parhe finished works are brilliant, and each of
the tracks are utterly individual. The participating members were
not allowed to hear the other members work, so that unhygenic
contamination could be avoided.
