[ Get Enuf 808 ❗️]

I only ask for reblogs on pieces I'm really proud of, and this is one of them, so if please, if you could 😭

Wanted to try something with a limited pallete, and I happen to really like how the TR-808 looks, and I was being sucked into the Hideki Naganuma rabbit hole at the time (I'm still there), so this was the result.

Credit to Kibbitzer (on DA) for the pose reference, the extra arms I had to figure out myself obviously 😔 (thankfully I managed it though)

Also, I know J-Funk/Pop and the style the 808 is usually associated with don't reallllly align but I don't care okay 😭

Anyway have some cool posters I saw.

(via COPY (Welcome Back ver.) - The Plastics (1981)

This record was a huge inspiration for me in terms of programming drums for longer songs structures, 8 bar segments that fit together into larger pieces. Integrated into a drum track for the composition.

All the drum tracks are the TR-808, which I had access to. A hell of a mind fuck.

and the drum break is wild.

The band used the Roland CR-68 and CR-78 drum machines for their early albums.[4] In 1980, member Masahide Sakuma had some input on the Roland Corporation's development of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. When its development was complete, the Plastics owned the first TR-808 model, which they used on their 1981 album Welcome Back.[4] [wikipedia]

REMEMBER THESE? Puma RS100 x Roland [A fantastic tribute to a legendary musical instrument, the RS100 x Roland (along with the complementary Puma RS-0) successfully captured the spirit of the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer. The impact and legacy of the famous beat box can’ t be overstated, and these sneakers were an essential buy for any music-loving sneakerhead.]
