I’m a senior associate professor in sonification and sound design, doing research in sonification, visualization, and interaction. I love making music, exploring modular synthesizers, learning old computer stuff, and tinkering with electronics and coding.
After an intense week with teaching and paper deadline… too many work hours… time to catch up with myself. #academicsky #sonification #research

Just arrived at the Academic Mindtrek 2025 conference. In the afternoon we’ll be presenting our reflections on how we use storytelling and world building as pedagogical tools for teaching physical interaction design. #AcademicSky

I have one of my grandparents performing on stage sometime during the 1930s… I believe my grandmother was in her late teens at the time. I guess that's where I got my desire to be creative and my love for music…

I finally finished the SAA1099 sound chip module! #eurorack #synthdiy #modular

My work environment, I love working at a university campus close to water. ❤️

The SAA1099 module is coming together nicely. A few tweaks of the code that creates different envelopes for the six sound channels and it should all be finished. Here four sound channels are used (the blip melody is heavily influenced by an old Boytronic song): #synthdiy #eurorack #modular

Testing the SAA1099 module, using the Mono mode and four channel… #eurorack #synthdiy #modular

Maybe a little silly front panel… but I think I like it anyway… #eurorack #synthdiy #modular

I found a SAA1099 in my Colton old ICs… hm… I think I should do a Eurorack module with it… #synthdiy

Two loopable ADSRs… these should come in handy. #eurorack #synthdiy

This will do for a small and simple snare drum… #eurorack #synthdiy

I thought that the generative sequencer in the Moog Labyrinth could be fun to use, so I made one and adapted it to my way of exploring patterns and melodies.

Brothers in arms… two VCFs to add to the modular. #eurorack #synthdiy

I took a short evening run. It felt good to get some air and breathe for a while.… #running #breathing

I’m slowly pushing the limits of #Arduino Nano IOs making a trigger sequencer #synthdiy #eurorack

Yet another VCF explored. It is loosely based on an Oberheim two-pole filter. It has low pass, band pass, and high pass out. #synthdiy #modular #rurorack

I’ve explored and built a voltage controller filter (VCF) that is inspired by the late MS20 filter but with simultaneous low pass, high pass, and band pass outputs, and with controls for cutoff frequency and resonance. #synthdiy #modular #eurorack

I think the Euclidean rhythm module turned out quite good! #eurorack #modular #synthdiy

I’m proud to announce that my work about the use of #sonification to support blind individuals when traveling with bus, got awarded the ICAD Best Paper Award at AM.ICAD 2025 in Coimbra, Portugal.

An amazing experience in Coimbra, Portugal! 40 speakers for 40 vocalists. Visiting this awesome installation with my fellow researchers in sound and sonification. #soundinstallation #sounddesign #sonification

@stephenroddy.bsky.social performing a wonderful piece at AM.ICAD 2025. #sonification

Today I put together the rest of the 'handclap.' 🤓

This evening I made a CMOS “random” noise, built with four XOR gates (4030) and one 18-stage static shift register (4006). Then I’m toying with the clock creating some nice sounding Nintendo style noise effects! #synthdiy #eurorack #modular

After spending the morning making a chord VCO based on an Arduino, I went out for a warm and slow 16km run. #synthdiy #eurorack #running
June 21, 2025 at 5:19 PM
14k slow running along the canal. A bit of a headwind and about 26 degrees Celsius. #running
