I decided last night to try to email the folks at i-morley, and got a lovely response (in english!) from his PR team:

Our blog is linked to the podcast of a Japanese-American personality, Morley Robertson, who works in Japanese broadcasting. He has been in FM radio for over a decade, and his podcast, which is named “i-morley”, is one of the top-downloads in the independent (non-commercial) sector.

Morley has talked about Splice Music on his radio programs more than once, and regularly copies and pastes the “player tags” for songs that have included his samples. These mentions may be contributing to the traffic in your direction.

We hope that your web venture meets success, and we also hope that Splice Music becomes a cultural influence.

For your reference, Morley is right now engaged on a project to go to Tibet. He has won a grant from the Polaroid Corporation in Japan, and will pack his bags for the great journey in February. He is right now studying Chinese everyday, to get a better grip of the situation over there — Tibet is currently administered under Chinese authority. One of his aims is to bring back (if possible, upload from Lhasa) fresh recorded CC Tibetan samples and make them public domain. The documentary web site of this adventure can be found here (there is an English counterpart this time):

How wonderful! The blog is quite interesting and I suspect will be a lot of fun to follow. If you’d like to say hello, I have a sneaking suspicion that you can find Morley here.

I had to share this happy little song that pengus put together. It makes me smile:

And here is one by yours truly, of the infamous msvybe, who has been a major voice on Splice since the beginning:

And last, try this little treat here… phantasmagoricalchild (say THAT six times fast!) has whipped up something unlike anything I’ve heard on Splice so far:

If you’ve got a song you’d like featured on the blog, be it yours or someone else’s, drop me a line and let me know!

Here at the sunshiney Splice offices, we are lucky to have coworkers from all over the world. Between us, we speak English, Dutch, Finnish, Spanish, Catalan, German, Italian, French and probably some others that I’ve forgotten now. We do not, however, speak Japanese, which is a shame, because we’d really like to know more about this Japanese site, which has been regularly blogging us. Would anyone like to help us out? We’re not sure what’s going on over there, but we know we sure like them and the attention they’ve been giving us. Thanks, morley!

We’ve got to hand it to fartlord: even though Return of the Jelly Donut didn’t receive it’s deserved critcal acclaim, he never gives up. Instead, he just hits harder, coming back at us with this lovely new Splice-themed song. Be warned: It’s catchy!

If you thought that was fun, you might also look into his Splice is Nice (Heavy on the Techno) remix, or make your own!
