ESP Album Art: Digital Dust – Dusty Folders Vol.1

So I passed the Digital Dust – Dusty Folders Vol.1 to DJ headpiece747 and he was taking back by the skills of Primus Maximus on the Monome. He liked the mix so much that he took out his bottle of alcohol and started to design an album cover for it. He posted it on monome.org after DJ Tes (of Digital Dust) asked to see it and then Primus Maximus had this to say:

Good stuff headpiece747!
But it says “Dust Digital” on the cover while we are Digital Dust.
We have a myspace (http://www.myspace.com/digitaldustmusic) and a website which is not done yet (www.boomtobap.com)

Drunkenness at its finest but he corrected the name and it is here for your album art inclusiveness.

Incarcerated Monome Scratch

Primus Maximus (of Digital Dust) put up this video of him using a device called a Monome. He reworks Raekwon’s “Incarcerated Scarfaces” and adds some scratching to make a chilled out version. On the YouTube version, he adds this:

Download our Digital Dust Mix made on monomes here:

Sampled Skull Snaps drums & El Mitchels Affair horns & Guitar

So I dug a little more to found out more about the Monome and came across this at monome.org:

each is a reconfigurable grid of backlit keypads which connects to a computer. interaction between the keys and lights is determined by the application running on the computer. there is no hard-wired functionality.

and can be used for:

live sample cutters, math simulations, drum machines, generative controllers, tonal maps, games, visualizations.

Yes I internet dig so you don’t have to. Also download that Digital Dust Mix it is nice and now go enjoy the video.
