Give My Regards To S.P.E.C.T.R.E.

Way back when I worked under the name 2ndMOUSE, I made a track called “Give My Regards To S.P.E.C.T.R.E.”. I dont’t remember the year I made it, but it was prior to 2010. I think I’ve learned a lot in those 11+ years, and I love occasionally taking an old track […]

Blog, General

I started Mantis a long time ago. From what I can gather, it was sometime around 2004, so it was originally a 2ndMOUSE track that appeared on a really early ad hoc album that was kinda thrown together in those really early days when giving away a free track was […]

Carbinax has been quiet for a long time. For various reasons.Paradoxically, there’s never been a time when I’ve been more enamoured with the process of making music, and I have been making a LOT of music, and then just kinda storing it, instead of actually releasing it.I think I know […]

500

Wow. It’s been a while.I haven’t posted anything here in months, and it’s clear that I struggle with routines and  just never been one for being regimented and adhering to a rigid structure. I completely understand the necessity for that, and I have the biggest respect for those that can, […]

I’m currently siezing the day by avoiding Covidiots and working on a mountain of tracks. Not exaggerating. If minutes and seconds were feet and inches, my tracks laid end to end would probably equal the height of Everest. I’m working on over 400 simultaneously. Yes….all at the same time.  To […]

Going Underground

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last updated here.I could go into a lengthy version of why, and did type out the full unabridged version, but then deleted it all and decided on a TL:DR version instead. In short, a usb SD card reader , presumably removed […]

The Database

It’s taken me months, but I’ve finally catalogued all the tracks I’m currently working on. I should have done this from the start because it was a ton of work, but, if there’s a wrong way of doing things, you can be sure I’ll usually try that first =P Up […]

Syncopation under Isolation

What a bizarre place our world is right now……If someone would have told me before Christmas, that half the world’s population would be in self-imposed isolation within 4 months, and practically everything would be closed, I would have laughed in their face, but, as we know, this is precisely what […]

Reviews

“Carbinax is back once again, the prolific mastermind simply can’t keep still. We’re always excited to hear where he’ll take his sound next and with Flex (featuring 20 explosive tracks) we see similar IDM and experimental electronic activity. This time focused on elevated melodies and modular madness meshed with thickened […]
