Ten plus Two Times Five
hernick | Nov 3 2005
Today, I read Procrastination hack: ?(10+2)*5?. I liked the concept! But syncing myself to a alarm? Urgh. Painful stuff. I hate buzzers. So I invoked the power of Open Source: I fired up Hydrogen, a drum machine. I laid down 12 minutes of beats; the beats synchronise you to the hack. I call it Ten Plus Two - Version One. Download it. Play it in a loop. The beat track itself is a hack. And if you people like it, I'll make a better one. Hell, I'll make a better one anyway. Why? It works for me! Discuss. 19 Comments

Fantastic Idea, less than fantastic executionSubmitted by Job Hocknull on July 19, 2006 - 7:05pm.
The beats are too monotonous for me, but I really feel that if you had some up-tempo instrumentals (Jazz, house, classical, whatever)for the 8s or 10s and some downtempo (trance, Jazz, you get the idea) then this would really kick most of us into overdrive. Also a one hour playlist would be ideal. Thanks for the inspiration! » POSTED IN:
