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!
