Ellsworth Kelly - Spectrum Colours Arranged By Chance III (1951)
I'd long forgotten about this one, there's a bunch of good remixes on Locust Toybox's Remixes And Other Crap. From the title and metadata comments it seems Firth didn't care for a lot of the work on it, but they are quite nice to listen to every now and then. A reminder that you can get all of Locust Toybox's releases for free (and legally) over on this page
One of my favourite internet people David Firth has been awful quiet lately, he's set off on another travelling jaunt around Europe this time. Shame because he'd just revived the excellent Waller FM podcast on Fat-Pie. Still while we wait there's other pieces by him to digest, take his Locust Toybox work for example. Enjoy.
David Firth, Internet animator best known for his infamous Salad Fingers series, also has a number of music based side projects including I'm The Manager and The Grape Digging Sharon Fruits. Locust Toybox is another one of these projects, and unlike the others is a purely electronic affair. If you've ever seen any of Firth's flash cartoons you can hazard a guess at what his tracks sound like. For those who haven't everything ranging from 8-bit chiptunes to full on ambient is covered on his 8 albums. it's quite hard to sum up in words due to the constant change in styles, instead check out my choice cuts below:
Oh, and since Firth is a really nice bloke, You can download ALL EIGHT of Locust Toybox's albums for free (and legally) HERE that's over 100 tracks for nothing. Enjoy
