Actually, I hope I didn’t miss with this one! Check out this lovely track with the added loveliness of the photography that Samantha so graciously blessed us with. This one originated from a little ditty (the melody at the beginning) that sprung into my head in the middle of the night. I woke up in… Continue reading Swing and a miss!

Domesticity? I think not!
We’re going hard and heavy now, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me! After some gnarly events happened in my neighborhood to a seemingly normal nuclear family, I couldn’t help myself but to add to the mystery in the only way I could, music! I hesitate to call this one an “electronic” track,… Continue reading Domesticity? I think not!
Exploring the depths and getting lost along the way. DIVER!
I made an 8-bit style game in PICO-8 I hope you like Metroidvania games, because I’ve got a funky one for you! Play it on Itch.io or watch Sam and I play through it. It’ll be a good time either way! DIVER [PICO-8 Adventure Game] by dcdalrymple
A little something for my bay-bay
Wrote and recorded this one a few months ago for a small mixtape for my wifey’s b-day. After a little bit of begging, she finally agreed to let me put this one out. IT’S JUST TOO GOOD! A good bit of nostalgic 80s pop in there with a basic LinnDrum beat with plenty of gated… Continue reading A little something for my bay-bay
Showing Some Gumption with “Go Home To Your Own Time”

I kept this one software-ridden for the most part. I was… Continue reading Showing Some Gumption with “Go Home To Your Own Time”

I’ve got a new project to share with you! Need an inexpensive way to sequence audio and midi together to synchronize your drum machines and keyboards on stage? The “Octopy” may be a good fit, and if you’re a raspberry pi enthusiast like me, you might already have the equipment to get started laying around!
Dealing with Writers Block
I think I was having a really hard time coming up with a name and lyrics and just ended up with this rhoadsy beat instead. Coming back to it 6 years later, everything starts making sense… well sorta. It’s still bologna, but that’s the way it should be. Enjoy this track that’s a combo of… Continue reading Dealing with Writers Block
Roland S-10 Cleaning and Demonstration
Today we’re messing around with my old 1986 Roland S-10 12-bit sampler and attempting to fix the notoriously sketchy Quick Disk floppy drive. Should I replace it with a floppy emulator? I don’t know, probably! If you want some tips about cleaning tape drives with isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds or want to learn a… Continue reading Roland S-10 Cleaning and Demonstration
