I’ve been using 8tracks for quite some time now. It’s my daily companion at work, or actually I should say that it’s our daily companion since we’re all listening to it where I work. It’s a great way to find good music, discover some new stuff or just quickly play something fitting for a certain moment in the day.
Since I like it so much I’ve decided to create some mixes myself as well, here’s the first two one. They’re both chiptune oriented, soon I’ll post some more, including also other styles and genres.

Sheets by Ryan Licata

When the barn across from the farmhouse began to creak and the owls therein screech, she needn’t have looked to the ominous sky to know, it was coming. The air was electric, her light-cotton dress left her body, and the down on her arms swayed like the wheat in the fields. Abandoning her basket she ran out front, where they flew ghostly, preying on the wind. She snatched onto their tails just as the storm broke, snapping them free from the wooden pegs. They lunged in rage, until, under the eye of the storm, she smothered them against her breast.
Il giuramento di Ippocrate di Andrea Esposito

Concordiamo tutti sul fatto che la visita di un medico possa cambiare la vita di un uomo.
A Franco Delano faceva male una caviglia. A ogni passo si accompagnava un sinistro schiocco secco. Ossessionato da quel rumore, Delano si recò dal medico.
“Niente di preoccupante” disse il medico. “Il suono che crede di sentire è frutto della sua immaginazione. Lei, infatti, è privo di orecchie”. Scoprendo di essere privo di orecchie, Delano scoppiò a piangere. Eppure, dato che, ad ogni modo, la caviglia non aveva alcun problema, si sentì curiosamente sollevato nel ricevere quella notizia. Notizia che, comunque, non sentì.
Notes
With this post I am now officially halfway through with my hundred word stories project!

Amos Showtime, LP cover
September 1st, 2010
I’ve recently been invited to take part in a very special project, organized by Iranian-German Musician Amos and his lable Sounds of Subterrania. The project consisted in about 400 whitelable LPs handed out to artists, illustrators and designers from all over the world. Each of us could customize the cover to our likes. These objects now are beingn exibited in different galleries in Germany and Switzerland and online (on the Showtime website)
I really enjoyed to participate, especially because having to create a unique, orginal piece of art, I had to work completely by hand, without resorting to computer aided stuff. The more time passes, the less I like using a computer. Maybe I’m getting old, or maybe it’s just that I miss the direct contact with the paper, the colours, the real world…
Anyway, back to the cover design, here’s the official description I provided for it:
A surreal parade of creatures, memories and objects entwined in an energetic flow. It’s showtime, and everybody acts in sync, their minds linked together by invisible bonds, as if they were one giant organism. The idea was more to represent the (retro) mood and the drive of the album, than to be an illustration to it’s verbal content.
The album (which you can stream for free on the Amos Soundcloud page) is a fun mix of rock ‘n roll, 80′s vibes, Brian May guitars and the good ol’Amos style. Which made me think about when I was young and how I experienced the 80s. So basically the cover is a collage of my memories and images that popped up in my mind while listening to the tracks.
Should you want to buy it (and thus look very smart and hip with your friends, who will secretly plan on stealing it from you), you can find it on the online store here:
