I decided to write this article after i received a link from a friend on Friday and spend half an evening in Andre Michelle’s laboratory playing around with his new amazing ToneMatrix flash application. He describes it as a simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16step sequencer. Each triggered step causes a force on the underlying wave-map… .

The ToneMatrix is just one of the flash audio applications he has produced and i very much recommend you check them out. Click here for the online ToneMatrix and here for the blog. Make sure you have some free time available, because this app is seriously addictive. I wouldn’t be surprised if this app will eventually be available for the iphone and i reckon it would be very successful.

The ToneMatrix has just been integrated into his main project, the “Hobnox Audio Tool”. The title says: Produce your own electronic music with the Hobnox Audiotool. All in your browser.That does sound like a lot of fun doesn’t it? Just click here to get creative!

Its a brilliant tool to create your own tunes online and in an easy and fun way. If you register it will even allow you to save your creations for future generations.

While we are desperately awaiting their new Album Tadlock’s Glasse, scheduled for release somewhere between may and New Year, you have the chance to purchase a collectors vinyl set of their hit Album “Check your head” which includes 4 pieces of 180 gram Vinyl featuring the deluxe remastered album and the 4 original 12″ singles (36 tracks total). Check your head was produced in the band’s own “G-Son” studio in Atwater Village, California and released on its Grand Royal record label which was sold in 2001 due to financial issues. But be quick, there are only 2000 sets available here.

MCA had this to say about their upcoming album this year: “It’s a combination of playing and sampling stuff as we’re playing, and also sampling pretty obscure records.” I for one can’t wait.

Of the title he explained: “We had a bus driver years ago who used to drive Elvis’ back up singers. His name was Tadlock and Elvis gave him a pair of glasses which he was very proud of. So for some reason that title – Tadlock’s Glasses – has just been bouncing around.”

No news on any UK gigs this year but it is very likely they will schedule a few gigs to promote their new album. There are a few rumors circulating that they will make it to the Island in the second half of 2009.

Until then remember to check your head!
