Trying out the new @blipvox.com app with a recording I made in Bovec, Slovenia a week or so ago. This is neat!

Everything can be turned into music with the right creative tools!

Using Gauss (field looper) and Skulptur (interactive filter bank) to turn the sound of a classic Mini into a whimsical piece of music 🤩
A bit of silliness helps

I don’t often share these here but will start doing so. If you’re into sound recording, photography and making electronic music, you’ll love this blog of mine. I tend to get a post out every Friday.

I’ve not posted much here for awhile and for that I can only apologise. So to make up for it here is an eclectic mixture of photos from the past couple of weeks.

Here is a gorgeous comp, from Chilean musician Iván Aguayo aka Bahía Mansa. Along with the quality of the music, this album is right up my alley is that it’s a fundraiser for an environmental NGO Glaciares Chilenos who are working to protect Chile’s glaciers

Incredible that just “… 25 of the nation’s charging points on motorways have a road sign, while signs for petrol stations are mandatory.”

Spot on comment from Instavolt: “Signage creates visibility. Visibility… reduces anxiety for people who have not yet moved to an electric car.”
Why you never see road signs for EV charge points
There are more stations than you might think, but strict laws on the size of motorway signs mean they go unnoticed — and fuel anxiety about going electric

Here’s a small melodic arp sequence created with the Stepwise Step Sequencer in #Bitwig Studio 5.3 and a bunch of modulated FX. This came out of the YouTube video I posted yesterday. I’ve expanded on it a bit and made this short clip. #synthsky

SUNDAY DUB! ☠ Sampled some household items with LIFE for background percussion, added a warm fuzzy FM bass, kick/snare, and dub chords. It’s nice to dial in the density on LIFE to fill the pattern with 16th notes - I should use it more often. #synthsky #drumandbass #dub #bitwig
