Shaw!

Here's a little modular synth rendition of the theme from #Silksong, composed by Christopher Larkin 🎶

One of the more painful moments of my life

Messing around in VCV rack 🎶

Here's a modular synth version of part of "Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus" by Mars Volta

Got an impressively awful AI overview today.

In just two short paragraphs I have learned that:
-Silksong isn't released yet
-The first Hollow Knight game both did and didn't have the ability to hide the HUD
-A video about Second Life is somehow relevant to this

Just released my collection of designed explosion sounds 💣

Made from a variety of sources such as rocks, thunder, garbage, etc!

Happy Silksong Day everybody 🎉

Also RIP Steam's payment processing system. Can't say I'm too surprised

Experimenting with using "OTT" (a famously aggressive multiband compressor) to make clean guitar tones 🎸

Works surprisingly well when paired with any old cabinet sim/convolution plugin. Not bad for a free plugin being used outside of its intended use case!

Maybe the least relevant thing I have ever been suggested on YouTube. A livestream of a board meeting for a public library almost 5000 miles from where I live

I managed to get a nice clean recording of a Carrion Crow recently 🎤

Despite being very common here, they have a habit of only making sound when far away from me! Fortunately I was able to get nice and close this time

Having some fun with arpeggios!

Here is a modular synth version of Muse's "Map of the Problematique"

Testing out a custom module I made 🎶

It's a programmable clock divider/multiplier, with some fun extra features like logic and Euclidean sequencing!

In layman's terms - it does some maths 🧮

Somewhat inspired by being in Brighton for Develop recently, here are some ocean waves designed in Phase Plant! 🌊

Made using granular synthesis based on a recording I captured of a gentle stream 🎤

Seeing the sights en route to Develop 🏖️

My new sound library "Ping Pong" is now available 🎉

Lots of fun was had while recording this! 🏓

Revisiting a childhood favourite flash game "Meeblings 2" today.

I found a great audio bug, where the sound of transforming a meebling isn't stopped correctly when you restart a level.

The result is this lovely sound looping continuously 😍

Nice to have a late night synth jam 🌃

Here's a modular synth version of a section from "Basketball Shoes" by BCNR 🎶

Here are my "tools" for a sound library I'm working on at the moment 😉

While out on a walk earlier this year, I stumbled across a field full of frozen puddles - so naturally I got my recorder out and captured some satisfying crunching sounds! 🎤

I have updated my sound library "Ice" to include the sounds I captured that day 🧊

I'm getting the impression that the music app I use doesn't understand how to approach commas in band names.

Apparently I've been extensively listening to the bands "Black Country" and "New Road" but never to "Black Country, New Road" 🤔

It can be difficult capture "ambient" bird sounds near where I live due to road traffic - I was glad to capture this nice and reverberant recording of a Song Thrush recently! 🐦🎶

I resorted to violence for my latest sound library - here are some examples from "Ceramic Smashes"! 🔨
