I made this with my Sony Playstation Portable in 2006, using a homebrew application called PSP Rhythm, which is primarily a sequencer, but also has some sampling capabilities. This piece was an entry for a song contest held on the program developer’s website. The rules were to use one sample of my choice and the drum sounds that they provided. For my sample, I recorded myself playing a kalimba. I stopped using this application when I got my MPC 500, but I would still recommend it to anyone looking to make music with their PSP (the PSP must have a custom firmware on it). I also made a custom skin for PSP Rhythm 7 called Minimal Style, which may still be available on the developer’s website. Oh yeah, my user name on that site was ‘peru’, and I did not win the contest.
