electronic music producer / synth builder / librarian

Blending (+bending) electronic styles, alka is vast enough for wide open spaces or condensed urban settings. it is the place where lucidity and obscurity meet.

Well, I ordered a Tonverk. After parting with my Octatrack a couple years back I've been missing the @elektron.se experience. My love for their gear started with the MachineDrum after @rogerodonnell.com convinced me I needed one sometime in the early aughts.

Leaked photo of heaven is going viral on social media. No wonder Christians are so determined to get there! 😍

I have to say.. i'm intrigued by this. perfect for Dungeon Synth and to accompany your own personal quest for the Holy Grail.
Did I mention the cocoa-scented keypads?

I’d share my music streaming breakdown for 2024 but it’s probably all Barry Morgan and His World of Organs ♥️… it’s been some year.

Chris Stein's photo brought me back to a younger me playing my trusty Ensoniq ASR10 on stage at CBGB in the year 2000. Further proof I once left the house.

Such an amazing machine the Make Noise Shared System is - but it made no sense for me to keep it. I was getting too lost in sound. #synthsky #modular #synth #noise

Busy recapping this completely unhip and monetarily worthless Yamaha Electone organ from 1979. It doesn’t matter - I LOVE this thing / from the chonky Alps switches to the pure analog warmth of the arpeggiator / even has a built-in Leslie. Some Electones utilize CS-80 sound core ヤマハ株式会社

Good day for sorting and labeling my ever growing pile of 78 shellac records. Sometimes you just need a good Fox Trot.

Preserving this absolute treasured repost when Tom Ellard of Severed Heads was here for a hot second. It's not everyday one of your favorite artists shares your homemade SN76477 arcade chip synthesizer.

Tom Ellard of Severed Heads responding "Next gig sorted." to a post by alka showing a "schematic" of a Spiricom device which theoretically allowed folks to communicate with the departed.
