Nintendo Innuendo Crescendo

by Peter Locke

Here are three songs and six pieces of art, all made on a single iPod Touch. The songs were made in an 8bit music composition app called NanoLoop. This app, NanoLoop, is in my opinion the easiest way to make 8bit music, other than typing in “best kind of music ever” into a Star Trek matter-replicator. The pixelated art was made in a similarly easy-to-use pixel-art-making app called DotEditor. Half of the art is depicting stereotypical caveman society, and the other half is depicting stereotypical cowboy society. By the way, if you don't know what 8bit music is, please listen to the music before you look it up on wikipedia.

Oh, what the heck; click here for the wikipedia article.

Android Hemorrhoid

by Peter Locke

You might not know it to look at him — especially with the Joaquin Phoenix beard he’s been growing the last few weeks — but my renaissance man of a little brother is not only a wildly imaginative illustrator, but also a talented electronic music composer. This week he returns to Texture with two new songs composed on the Nintendo DSi, plus two chuckle-worthy black and white doodles.

Scream of Consciousness

By Peter Locke

For as far back as I can remember, my big little brother Peter has been conjuring up monsters, aliens, animals, robots, cyborgs, mutants and other bizarre creatures. These bonkers baddies are made all the bonkier w/ their melting faces, twisting limbs and tweaked pop culture and video game references, and they're all embedded w/ Peter's unique sense of humour. I can find them in every birthday card he or my family have ever sent me, and they’re tucked into nooks and crannies all around our family home whenever I visit, which makes me unexplainably happy. Here are a few of my bro’s latest creations, so when he’s off celebrating his retrospective exhibit at the MoMA or Tate Modern 20 years from now, you can remember this is as the first time you laid eyes on a Peter Locke original. – Jesse Locke
