Polybius – Nerd Alert

Polybius - Nerd AlertIf you read EffectsBay… well, I think it’s established that you have some nerd tendencies. I would assume you’re wanting to manipulate sound/tone and resulting something creative. Right? For me, this is true.

I also have other nerdy interests from electronics to computers/programming, etc. When I see these melded together in a unique way, I’ll definitely take notice. The other day a friend of mine let me know about a Vimeo video that I might find interesting. I’m so glad he did, it’s pretty fantastic.

The video by James Houston shows Julain Corrier interacting with various pieces of old computing hardware, game consoles via MIDI. Back in the day… WAY back in the day, I used to program on the Commodore 64, some of these sounds bring back some fond, nerdy memories.

Let me know what you think by posting a comment below!!

    I liked that video. My Commodore 64 and hundreds of games for it are still in my garage. One of these days I’ll figure out what I’m going to do with all that stuff. I’ll have to take a refresher course in Commodore Basic first. lol

    I am totally in love with classic Rock and Blues but, with that said. The Guitar Nerd in me finds this very entertaining and curious> Curious about his signal chain and what provoked him to make this video.What was the thought process behind experimenting with various computer sounds and making it sound like music. Kind of reminds me of old Devo.
