Adam is a great teacher!
danelaw.bsky.social Dane Law @danelaw.bsky.social · Sep 25
in particular I love teaching Max MSP, my "desert island" software that I use in all my own music.

I've lots of experience doing workshops for this with total beginners (at London Music Hackspace and other places), get in touch if you want to learn.
danelaw.bsky.social Dane Law @danelaw.bsky.social · Sep 25
I'm available for private lessons (on zoom) on Max & Ableton, in areas such as:

- composing electronic music
- sound design & synthesis
- algorithmic music and weird shit

I'm a Senior Lecturer in Music & Sound Design at LSBU with 10+ years experience teaching at Goldsmiths, Brunel & Newcastle unis

Anyone know of any available recordings of Tenney's 'In a Large Open Space'? Looking for a CD (etc.) rather than a concert rip.

Sketching; thinking about ways of getting more transients into my work without it becoming rhythmic. And high frequencies, because I like the fizz.

If you're coming along to Open Ear this weekend (or even if you aren't), why not prepare for our Saturday lunchtime set by listening to our May show - probably the best thing coming down from the clouds right now. www.mixcloud.com/DublinDigita...

Fantastic news. What a relief. I'm sure there will still be difficult times for the department, but Music continues at Cardiff. Quite right

A reminder that recently I put out an album that is very good. If you haven't checked I would appreciate if you did. If you enjoyed it would appreciate if you told a friend.

It has flavours of weirdo ambient, dub and noise and I think it's worth your time

A picture of a hand holding a dark green CD case. The CD case is for Mineral Stunting - Come Rain Come Shine and has the image of a jetski A selfie of me. I am wearing a green hat, and a patterned shirt over a green t shirt. I have glasses and am making a peace symbol with my hand to the camera An screenshot of listener reviews for Come Rain Come Shine on bandcamp. "ghosttropics Top tier Gloop. Amniotic excursions into the edges of dub, plunderphonics, and something less nameable. This is what it sounds like when the laptop gets infested with algae. Phexioenesystems huge & good sounds Favorite track: Destiny Melts Like Ice Under a Warm Sun Danni Rowan Like I'm in the club as it cheerfully deconstructs around me. djleaves BIG MONEY AMBIENT Favorite track: Sink Dub panda's paajamas this is what slowly dying on a jetski slowly drift in the middle of the ocean feels like Favorite track: Chasm FFFHHH Wild in the best sense, CRCS is untamed music; sounds like what happens when you lift up a big damp rock. Despite the feeling of “being found” more than “produced” (gross) Ivri’s control is tangible and exact, albeit in the hardly-there way of any good ecologist. Favorite track: Junk Repurpose"
