It’s that time of year in Vermont where every nice day feels like it could be our last for a while. Also have a DSP algorithmic brain-worm that’s hard to let go of, so trying for multi-objective optimization.

One of the tiny great things about traveling in Europe is that most people know how to say my name. Assuming I’m from Poland is new though…

Kind of crazy to think that my first commit for what's now SpaceBlender was a little over 7 years ago and we just released it today! The working title was "Ambient", then "Ambient 1" and "Ambient 2" until just a few months ago.

We were wondering about the lack of social commentary at Coachella, and then caught Bob Vylan, one of my favorite new discoveries at the festival, and they pretty much laid it all out. Another great reason to support independent artists.

IMPORTANT: This memo circulating right now rings true to the Silicon Valley thought leaders I've followed for many years. I've heard many thought-provoking ideas and also fringe, grandiose and authoritarian ones. They're now consolidating power to install a CEO Monarch and implement the latter,

The creative and DIY energy was refreshing. I loved the simple design of this fun little drone module, Quord by Sound Workshop.

Dropped into the Buchla & Friends show in Silverlake yesterday and saw this nice-looking Bode Frequency Shifter clone. Someone thought I looked like I knew something and asked me what a frequency shifter does. Grateful for the easy question after a long week at NAMM!

Been locked in and head down working on a new plug-in since summer. We’re doing a sneak peak tomorrow at NAMM. It’s been a huge push so it feels great to finally come up for air and to see it all coming together! #NAMM

Left VT for LA super early yesterday to avoid the storms. Ended up debugging code all day to prep for #NAMM. Last time I did this much pre-tradeshow coding was at the Paris AES to show off Speed.

Accidentally aged these beautiful local wagyu steaks since before Christmas. Going to give it a go tonight for steak au poivre and duck fat fries.

Would love to turn this into a plug-in but it’s just so hard to figure out who it ought to be dedicated to at this moment in time. So many options! #FU2

It’s been cold and snowy in Vermont so it’s been nice to have this cozy spot to work at the @soundtoys.bsky.social carriage house studio

Last night I had a dream that one of my crew at @soundtoys.bsky.social had for some reason buried one of our EMT 140 plate reverbs in a hole in the ground over the holiday break. #audionightmares
