- ALEKSI EEBEN'S WHITE BOX
- Music and Program by
- Aleksi Eeben
- Text by Dave Moorman
-
-
- Here is music that spans the
- spectrum from elegant to electronic!
- Aleksi has packed some 32 tunes into
- this sweet little music box -- all
- interesting, most eclectic, some
- enigmatic!
-
- This is clearly "alternative"
- music -- premiering at the Alternative
- Party of 2004. The sounds Aleksi has
- produced from the mighty, modest SID
- can be haunting ("Pond") or classic
- ("Rock and Roll Butterfly"), humorous
- ("Flight of the Bumblebee" -- played
- on a rubber tire!) or pure Moogishness
- ("Computer Music").
-
- Simon Carless adds clever "liner
- notes" to each song, creating just the
- right mental ambiance for the numbers.
- The presentation is clever and moody,
- but a bit hard for old fogeys such as
- myself to read: too much like the real
- world without my glasses and nitro
- tablets!
-
- This is the type of music we
- enjoyed at the Micro Palooza in
- Portland after Christmas, 2003 --
- except I am sure your monitor cannot
- push out the wattage that engulfed us
- there. I am sending this issue in a
- PC-ready format to all our musical
- friends from Oregon with a challenge:
- the LOADSTAR Palooza is on! Warm up
- those SIDs and get the beat going and
- thrill us with some serious
- retro-rock!
