Hard cuts with the Threads scroll crossfade. Why do they have to pump so much Trump into my feed???

I’m currently in the midst of a no-playing, no-writing cycle. This happens periodically. I did swim a quarter mile today, however.

I am sad.

"Doorways in the Sky"

Lithium is no longer available on credit.

Who else smiles during New Order’s Bizarre Love Triangle Extended Dance Mix from Substance when they hit the first verse and the beat reverts to the album version for just one measure?

A sample of some recent work for the @backcountrypilot.bsky.social video “Ice & Snow.” Too industrial? I was going for a harsh contrast feel.

I’m going to remove the keyboard from my #microfreak. Hope much will I miss it in between firmware updates?

The only thing more satisfying that building a #eurorack module is when you connect the power and it doesn’t start smoking. Or so I have read. Shakmat Dual Dagger stereo filter. #modular #modularsynth

Anyone know why #covariant is no longer in the iOS App Store? I purchased it but it’s “no longer available in my region” or something like that. It was an AUv3 plugin for DC-coupled module output. #ipadmusic #modularsynth

I’m deep into scouring the internet for workable gig bags for my #modularsynth rigs. It’s hard to just query “foam padded bag 28 inches x 9 inches x whatever”…et al and get usable results. I did find a pretty decent bag that’s intended for a 30” telescope…most promising candidate. Room for more hp.

A lighthearted dirge featuring the 4MS Spherical Wavetable Navigator and the late modern philosopher Alan Watts.

Welcome to this evening’s hybrid modular desk. #AbletonLive -> Crave. But then also Live to #ExpertSleepers FH-2 -> Crave CV. Meanwhile FuncBud is not even synced and flashing notes not in this scale at all. And #4MS just looking pretty waiting for a turn to be included.

Despite liking a ton of synth/music/art posts, BlueSky is still filling my feed with wildlife and landscape pics I chose when signing up.

“The Valley” by Impulse Coupling. A 48 second clip made in 48 minutes. Only later did I realize I’d fallen asleep listening to Meat Beat Manifesto in 1999. #electro #industrialmusic #attractiveandroids

Now I’m wondering how many iPads I can realistically afford to run #AUM synced with #Ableton Link across multiple screens. And #FugueMachine is neat, truly novel, I just wish it wasn’t so much work to add notes. What notes ARE those?

This is my first completed hardware #modular #synthesizer and it’s a fun diversion from cinematic sample libraries. #4MS ensemble oscillator, spherical wavetable navigator, amp/envelope stuff, and #expertsleepers FH-2, hence Ableton Live in the background. My biggest challenge is how to store it.

Inside the ignition magneto of a piston engine aircraft is a tiny spring loaded device that accelerates the rotary generator action to create current for the spark while the engine is otherwise turning slow.

I always thought that was fascinating so I named my music project the same.
