Music: Breakcore album "Get Out Of My House"
Mr. Roboto is a member of the Australian demo group System Of Sound. After releasing his best-of album Goat Cuts at the end of 2023, which covers the years from 2007 to 2023, a new album with three fresh tracks is now available on Bandcamp for around 60 cents, which the artist himself assigns to the Breakcore genre. He used an Amiga 600 and FS-UAE, which emulates the A1200/030. On the software side, OctaMED SoundStudio as well as ProTracker 2.3d and Hippoplayer were used to test whether the tracks were played correctly.
In the mid-90s, he bought his own A500 with A590 and began to familiarise himself more intensively with the operating system. He had been interested in punk rock since his early teens. He not only listened to it, but also played it himself. He recalls to us: "So in mid-highschool I was able to convince my parents that me having some guitar lessons might be a worthwhile investment, and after a few lessons my teacher suggested to me that my progress would really benefit from me getting myself a drum machine. And I thought to myself for one thing I am a young teenager with no job and limited income and for another, I do have a computer in my bedroom, and a copy of OctaMED version 5 which I got free on the cover of CU Amiga magazine, so I could just use that instead. And when one composes a drum beat and a bassline then logically one might find themselves with something that bears at least a passing resemblance to drum'n'bass music, which I did, despite having had no real exposure to the genre at this point in time."
His first collection of songs, which he released in limited numbers on burnt CDs, was at the end of 1998, when he used the then rare and expensive CD burner at his
secondary college to burn about two dozen copies: "I cannot recall the exact title of this collection, nor do I have a copy myself, it was rather, shall we say, "experimental" in style. Somebody might even have a copy of it buried deep in their personal collection, but otherwise I would have to say that these are lost to time. The next releases on CD would have come in 2001, when I purchased an 8x speed CD burner of my own. I was performing punk-jazz-electronic fusion with a group called The D.Z's and released a collection of the less awful bits from our many jam sessions on a CD entitled Music For Pleasure Classics - this collection of songs is also sadly lost to time. Also in that year, around the same time I released a collection of songs made with a friend on their Pentium II PC using Buzz under the group name Dead Punx. This collection of songs can be found online today on the System of Sound Bandcamp page..." (dr)
