Heart Throb

This is a truly amazing feat, capturing the pulsating 'heart throb' via an Amiga 'Live' digitizing board by A Squared, performing the actual effects with the mouse while I sang the vocal and recorded visuals and vocal to the music on a Sony PCM digital encoder, which was the precursor to DAT recording, so imagine the tools I was working with. The lyric is the height of simplicity. Thanks to Lion Kuntz for his fabulous Amiga Fonts.

Does this song exist in a physical format at all?

[ottovr]

@BankiePhones At this time it is only available online for listening, but I hope to change this & make a lot of my music available for purchase online over the summer. As for a physical copy, I am not inclined to press any CDs on my own until I see how the online sales are going. I am more inclined to release a DVD of Kongress featuring my legendary front magician, Geoffrey Crozier. Thanks for your interest!

@BankiePhones I am about to have two months to put my music online, with lots of strange & even listenable classics. Much of it will under the name of my legendary band Kongress. I am even working on a new project with another legend who came through the ranks of Kongress, my long-time drumming companion who has written some very contemporary material & the devastating recordings I am creating with my latest soundbanks is going to raise eyebrows, as well as decibel levels! Be Patient - soon!

Were you using Elan's Invision software with your Live board? I did a ton of stuff with that combination, and for the life of me I can't find anything on Windows or the Mac that has the same capabilities.

Yes! But, I was doing this performance with the mouse out of view as I sang the song live making a digital master! Back then (even now), it was quite a feat - talk about multitasking!

Is that the Name of the group Heart Throb ? It´s cool i like it.

That's me, Otto von Ruggins doing it live - singing and 'mousing' with my Amiga Live board, which was video before the Video Toaster. Heart Throb is probably my most minimal song (lyricly). It was a one off performance, as I never was able to get that red heart pulsing the way I did in this take.

@ottovr

cool, this song is probably the best one i've heard from your youtubes (super raw, and almost-like-it-belongs-on-Mini­malwave-style-repetition) excited to hear the rest.
