A new device joins my setup.
Absolute beauty.
Will be featured in some parts of one of my next two albums.

I got that Xpand!2 VST Synth at a sale.
Amazing.
I love romplers. Even software ones.
Sounds so well playing along with the Korg M1 as well.
I'm Excited to get some use out of it!
Got some beautiful factory presets too.

Touch to play the chalkboard! I did a deep dive on the Beam Sound Board featured in the Florian Schneider estate auction. I even managed to find a very close relative, which I show here, designed in communist times Czech. more over on YT:

Most of my music spawns out of spontaneous creativity and freestyle.
Sure gives dopamine to my ADHD brain.
But it means I often can't well memorize and re-play my songs after I have first recorded them.

Advice to learn to memorize and replay my music live would be amazing.
If anyone sees this.

Seem to have bought a broken chromatic harmonica.
Some of the reeds were dead from new.
I really like the thing otherwise.

Hoping the shop can repair it.
Or order a replacement. Something.
Really could use a chromatic.

Mixing track 4/15 in my experimental album thingy.
I'll make a little video of clips recorded during the making of it too.
Although I can't imagine the workflow of a guy who likes solitude and isn't social very often as being very interesting.
But it's a way to show humanity in current day art.

It's hard finding a functional VST version of the E-MU Mo'Phatt module.
Kontakt and soundfont versions don't sound like the hardware.
Proteus VX and Emulator X3 VST plugins don't either.
I'm a bit hesitant on going hardware because I'm not technical enough for repairs.
But I might do it. Someday.

I've found when mixing I rarely use more than EQ and dynamic EQ on most things (Well and the volume slider, and adjusting effect levels).
I do some MJUC and D-Essing on vocals too.
But it all remains somewhat simple.
Years ago, I thought it needed to be way more complicated. Simple is fine.

I've found it quite fun when using FL Studio (I sometimes do it in Reaper too) to set a color theme and run with that while I work on a specific album.
I'm working on something on the experimental side currently that I'm excited to get out someday.

I think Little Big Planet for the PSP is unique.
I remember playing the other 3 a while back.
A friend and I loved the bomb survival kind of levels the community made all the way back in the first game.
I think the PSP version is very fun too.
It's kinda special to me.
Different from the others.

The Fairphone seems interesting to me.
However it is friends and family almost insisting I get a smartphone, and I ain't gonna buy it myself because the non-smartphone I got is fine.

A little snippit from the EP I released in May. Primarily to test video uploading on this platform. Song is "Living in a Fantasy." I hope to further improve my singing in the future to deliver better performances than this but I am still proud of it.

I've noticed it is hard to find a newer model smartphone that is no bigger than an iPhone 5, while also remaining inexpensive and usable at the same time.
I don't wanna get an iPhone though.

When it was time to record vocals for the final piece that needed it in an album but then you got sick.
Well hopefully in a few days I can get working on it again.
Till then I'll just make more pad sounds on the Korg Wavestete.
It's really good for that.

My stinky corner for music making.
Nothing special, but good enough for me.

Got a little friend on each speaker.
One is a crow I was gifted and I gave it a small little hat thing I found somewhere.
And the other is Summer Car Garn47 moment.

I am happily working on stuff.
It'll be out someday.

Hello.
A test post.
I am not known for using social media as I originally quit it all years ago.

I'm experimenting with ways of staying somewhat connected to the world as a musician again.

Living under a rock CAN get boring.

Can't say how active I'll be.
Time will tell I guess.
