If you're in Southern California, I need you!

My friends over at Buchla have let me set up shop at the event to let people volunteer for a double-blind (100% safe) acoustic experiment I'm running. Attendance is free to those who RSVP, and the event itself amazing on its own!

Come say hey!

The music we love exists because of the artists who create it.

🗓️ TODAY is #BandcampFriday

This means that when you buy music, all* of your money goes to the artists & labels who need your support.

There won't be another #BandcampFriday until August, so don't sleep.

Just in case you need to know how the EQ section of a A&H xone 23 works, here’s a cheat sheet:

Low- and high pass filters have a 6dB/oct slope and the frequency of 2.5kHz and 0.5kHz respectively.

The mid band goes until -24dB gain reduction centered around 1kHz with Q of 1.

This can be big. I hope developers jump on this.

2/2 You may want to make it your business to read this scathing article linked, which basically explains why and how Black music makers and artists were shamelessly robbed of the exposure they deserved back in the early 80's, with that sound finally becoming trendy now!

Bandcamp Friday is back for 2025. On March 7, we’ll once again waive our revenue share, ensuring more money goes directly to artists. Last year, fans spent $3.1 million in a single day—the biggest since 2022. Let’s keep that momentum going. Mark your calendars and get your wishlist ready.
