23.808 - 808 Day 2023



23.808 🟥🟧🟨⬜️
The Roland TR-808
Rhythm Composer


From the day of its birth, at the very cusp of the Eighties, a drum machine named Roland TR "Transistor Rhythm" 808, sent shockwaves throughout the Universe, echoing beyond the furthest edge of the future. Undulating from the underground, the TR-808 managed to revolutionize the way we produce music, advancing to affect our behavior by changing how we dance and dress up to get down, thereby shaking and shaping the surface of Earth.

In fact, it appears more than safe to say, that without this device our divine dance around the Sun wouldn't just look or sound different, it would exist as an alogether different world, today. Of course, with any little piece of history missing from our common past, the world would become different just as much -maybe more or less so- but that seems to move off-sync the groove.

This particularly funky contraption, and a number of other little boxes made by Roland - one of the most celebrated Japanese music machine manufacturers - helped shape the human world over the past forty-three years, more than other little boxes have. Well .. they did shape mine ... and I do like to consider myself a human, every now and when - ergo: cheers to an all-time favorite drum machine, the Roland TR-808!

Have a ❤️🧡💛🤍 #808day!
