BitPotion is back with new music

Hi gang -- I've been absent for a for a while, but have finally gotten some time to produce new music.

This downtempo track was produced using only Wasp, Tomcat, XR-909 and WaveFusion.

Well that was nice, loving that one. Do you have any other tracks I could listen to? (I tried your website link but it didn't seem to work)

Glad you liked the track. tempocast.com is a domain I borrowed from another project. I had let bitpotion.com lapse, and just reclaimed it last night.

There are four tracks out there now, all are produced with Orion. For the vocal bits on "get up" I recorded separately to a Fostex deck, then used sampler to add to the song playlist:

the mp3s do not play. they stop after 5 seconds...

Drat, yes on one of my systems they download completely and then play. On a different system the browser brings up a QuickTime plug-in and stops after 5 seconds. A right mouse click and "save" seems to work in either case...

Thanks for letting me know. Will sort out the problem and post back.

It turns out that the mp3s were fine. As best as I can tell, the server hosting the files compresses the data it sends to browsers - even mp3s (uses gzip). Some browser/plugin combinations misinterpret gzipped responses, causing playback to stop after 5 seconds or so.

I was hoping to be able to post a work-around here for users encountering similar problems. But, no luck thus far in overriding my hoster's settings for my files.

Instead I moved BitPotion mp3s to my own server. The connection is slower, but I have full control :-)

Anyway, the mp3s at http://bitpotion.com should play now. And, as always, thanks for listening.
