"My tabla machine has gone completely nuts"

Jesse writes: "Hi Music Thing, Thought you might be interested in my tabla machine as it has gone COMPLETELY INSANE.
"It has a 'composer' mode where you can program two beats of up to 100 steps each. I was programming a regular 32 step loop when it went completely apeshit and started playing a 334 step pattern of f'd up noises that most certainly do not come from a tabla. Here [QT Movie] is a video of it doing its thing. Here is my blog entry about it."
Thanks, Jesse. Really do check that video out. It's very cool.

thats really great. its like a jazz tune where they 'return' to the theme
 
jesse, i wish to purchase your haunted table machine. did it do this on 6/6/06?
 
table? tabla.
 
Very Autechre'ish.
 
Hah, wicked. I can see Richard D. James using that on a track!
 
The cuase of the problem is pretty obvious, when you turn it on the first thing the display said was "ale".
 
I've wanted one of these machines for a while, but now I want one EVEN MORE!! That's so awesome!
 
Sounds like 'Gantz graf' :D
 
Reminds me of Asa-Chang. I want one of these things too!
 
Reminds me of what I heard when my trusts+y old Ataria ST 1040 had a sort of nervous breakdown when I fiddled around with a song in the 90s. The computer sort of crashed but I was able to save a very strange song file, which had all the funny changes of timing, drones of all kinds etc. making it a Aphex Twin like remix of my song. Called the song Meltdown...
 
Bloddy awesome. You can't BUY one of those out of a store. Yours is unique now!
 
Fantastic! Sounds like Radiohead on an off day. Ok Tabla...
 
Instruments that circuitbend themselves are priceless. That thing is just begging to be sampled!
