So I really like where this ended up. All sounds / sequencing from within the case. Multigrain is providing just a bit of an almost echo… #ambienteurorack #eurorack #ambientmusic #synthsky

Piles and piles of loops. Multigrain again (some modulation this time), with an assist from MOODmk2. #synthsky #ambientmusic #eurorack #ambienteurorack #soundbath

First go with Multigrain. Nothing fancy, just a nice moment that made me pause and take a few deep breaths. #synthsky #ambientmusic #eurorack #ambienteurorack

It’s been an extremely rough couple of weeks. Just trying to keep moving forward and to get back to spending time doing this. #synthsky #ambientmusic #experimentalmusic

Thinking about meaning in music that I write is a slippery thing. I've always assumed that different ways of writing music—for me this might be fully by hand, or with a sequencer that leverages chance / chaos—would lead to different meaning intentionality, if that makes sense.

I’ve always hated my singing voice (alright alright you got me, also my talking voice) but now it strikes me: I could take singing lessons!? And I might.

Over all the studio rewire effort has been a success. My hope was for it to help with productivity and also be tidy? Which is hard with all the wires. Aside from the mess of cables around the pedals on the desk, I am happy. #synthsky

Had a fairly non-existent night of sleep last night, which meant I was up with a coffee in hand well before I needed to be… so I sat at the Super 6 and ported to the sequencer something I’d been half-writing the night before. It is occasionally possible to find pockets of productivity.

Something else I’ve never done in a small eurorack before that is making a difference to me: having a second filter around. It’s great as a post-VCA EQ to control the high frequencies a bit. Also, noise modulation of the frequency in my opinion sounds better here than it does pre-VCA.
This is the happiest I’ve ever been with a eurorack setup. It helps that it’s small, I think, and that the voice is stand alone, instead of spread out among 4 or so smaller modules.

My favorite setup lately has been this small eurorack synth and the Super 6. #synthsky #ambientmusic #eurorack #ambienteurorack

We all know in terms of supporting artists that Spotify is useless & buying a shirt is more helpful than 6,000 streams, but even just telling an artist you dig their work is more valuable —spiritually & I’d argue monetarily— than a stream.
You never know who you’re keeping going with a kind word.

Parenthood is full of these quiet, profound moments when one’s past is seen through the lens of the present. Ed’s current musical obsession is Time to Pretend by MGMT (yes, thanks to the Minecraft Movie preview).

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

If you ever see me say something like this again please kick me in the shins.
I think I’m going to rewire my music making space this weekend. It’s a process that I both love and loathe. Actually doing it is fun (the perfectionist in me). But what I hate is the realization, after I’m done and I’ve started to use the space again, that I’ve made a poor ergonomic decision.

Most of 2023/4 I took off from recording and uploading content for social media because I was spending more time just playing. Bubba loves it, as you can see. Preset here is actually UDO Super Gemini, controlled via Super 6. #ambientmusic #experimentalmusic #synthsky #showyourwork
