Arpanet - Quantum Computing? +

Just in! Dopplereffekt to play 'first live UK show ever' details here. http://www.bangfaceweekender.com/

There is another supposedly unreleased Arpanet track floating about cyberspace at the moment. This time it is an original called 'Quantum Computing'. Gravitational Lense(Chwolson Xallarap remix) is the other one. Not sure if this stuff is meant to be leaking out or not and so far there is no word on a new Arpanet album, remix or otherwise. (new text)As of 26th Feb it was brought to my attention that 'Quantum Computing' is more than likely the work of someone else. I just call them like I see 'em but will leave the post as it was from this point on and let you decide for yourselves what you think. I must say that both tracks, I would also be suspicious about the remix now, are very good and if the person(s) responsible doesn't have a record deal they should. Whoever titled the remix really knows their stuff as if it is a fake it certainly fooled me. I think it's acceptable that I'll be wrong from time to time when I'm working so much in the dark, I'll always remember how hard it was for me to decide if Black Replica was a hoax or not.

If you have the time and want to go deeper you can read all about the first and only commercially available quantum computer, just launched by D Wave Systems at a link below. A more objective view of this new, possibly quantum computer, can be read at Wikipedia. If you were wondering what Chwolson Xallarap is then wonder no more! Well first off a gravitational lense is formed when the light from a very distant, bright source (such as a quasar) is "bent" around a massive object (such as a cluster of galaxies) between the source object and the observer. Orest Danilovich Chwolson (1852-1934) was a Russian physicist who is most noted for being one of the first people to study the gravitational lens effect. Lastly the Xallarap effect (an analogy of parallax) is a variation in a gravitational lensing observation caused by the orbital motion of the source.

But it is just as equally about the music as concept and in this case I can report the music is great, see what you think. These 'send space' links usually have a time limit on them I think so best to act quick.

  6. Both sound like remixes.

    Quantum Computing (fake or not) is a has the same underlying melody as a track off Quantum Transposition. I forget which one.

  9. Gor it ! Quantum Computing is not so much a remix as a track that 'borrows heavily' from Arpanet's No Boundry Condition (track 7 on Inertial Frame). Glad thats sorted... I can sleep now !

    I'm the guy who made the track, I was tipped of by one of my mates that it had somehow ended up here and mislabed as Arpanet as well.

    Quantum computing is not a remix nor does it "borrow heavily" from any track. It's just me experimenting with my synths to create the same sounds Gerald Donald does. Nothing more and nothing less.

    Glad you liked it anyway :)

    It must surelly be a Triton Studio ou Pro X with this square screen and the bright color. During their live act in Amsterdam a dark synth appeared. I bet on a Triton Extreme.
