@nprofile…l25h Thanks! Yeah, Sonicstate posted it today too. I guess there aren't a lot of demos of the finished synth

Hmm. A local shop seems to still have a copy of this album---maybe I need to buy it and build the synth for myself (also this video seems to be getting shared around a lot lately and is blowing up a bit--by my standards anyway)

I used to watch weird movies when I couldn't sleep at night. Now I'm trying to reinforce a habit where I get up and write little folk songs instead. Seems to be working so far (now to record them?)

Behind the scenes of the setup for that latest Pluto video. Lugged the coffee table up to the studio and popped it on a keyboard stand for some extra height

The first thing I did back when I got my Modern Sounds Pluto was run my guitar through it, as it can track the notes (to a degree) as well as process the signal through effects. Super fun! Took a while to do a video, but hopefully this is entertaining to someone

Anyone else familiar with the Synthesizer album by A Place To Bury Strangers and how the album cover is also a PCB to build a DIY synth/audio mangler? I built one for a friend and spent some time messing with it. Very gnarly and fun

Midicake sent me an Arp unit to see what I would do with it and so far I've been enjoying being able to "play" multiple synths at once via the live play feature. Super fun. Feels like I have a million new hands

Want even more challenges you can fail at? Here's a very comprehensive and overwhelming list someone put together: challenges.stefanbohacek.com

2025-03-04 14:50:04

hopefully this tongue-in-cheek video about how to fail at music challenges makes someone chuckle (there may or may not be actual helpful creative advice if you do the opposite of everything I say. YMMV) #RPMChallenge

This year's #RPMChallenge took me in a different direction than expected and lead to the beginnings of a brand new project. 2 tracks so far with more to be added as they come. If you like it folky with weird percussion and the odd synth, then this might be for you! #patientwhales

Thought I'd have fun seeing how far the Chase Bliss Onward pedal can push just a single strum from a guitar. Turns out, very far if you account for all the secondary functions and DIP switches. Hopefully this is interesting to someone!

Still time to submit for the Deluge Preset Competition, so I figured I'd help spread the word by looking at some (hopefully) neat little sound design ideas as starting points/ways to push a preset a little further (also wanted to finally get a better understanding of retrig phase). Hopefully this isn't all old news to everyone! (I am not affiliated, just think it's a fun idea)

I was so nervous during my set the other night but it seemed to go over well. After I was finished, a lovely person I didn't recognize passed me a folded piece of paper containing this drawing (and transcription of my awkward banter)

A snippet from my ambient live set the other night. Was fun to build a performance around some loose ideas and tricks

Finally finished my walk-through of some of the new Deluge features in the 1.2 community firmware. Hopefully this is interesting to someone, as the volunteer devs are really cooking!

Anyone else ever mess with Patchblocks synth/audio modules? I fell into a pair recently and have been having fun

A lot of gear seems to cross my path, but not all of it sticks around. Here's a rambling break down of a bunch of stuff I either picked up or parted with in 2024 for any other gear/synth nerds!

Here we go...Modern Sounds Pluto. Time for some bleeps and bloops. Super impressed with the speed at which Cicada Sounds got me this unit too!

Anyone out there have a Modern Sounds Pluto and/or know the invite to the Discord server? I have GAS (many questions!)

Of course I must suggest Lord Plunder for Bandcamp Friday, as to do otherwise would get me vaporized. Listen at your own peril, but to ignore Plunder is a foolish mistake #BandcampFriday

Since it's #BandcampFriday here's my most recently electronic EP, but maybe you want to catch up on the entire discography for under $7? https://baymud.bandcamp.com/album/mental-clutter

If you'll indulge me a moment, it's time to acknowledge being another year older, so let's reflect: this Bob Dylan cover is likely the oldest recording I've ever posted online (at least, the oldest one I'll still share). Recorded about 20 years ago and first posted on Soundcloud a few years later, it's equal parts embarrassing and inspiring to revisit, so give it a listen if you're so inclined

Had some fun trying to use my Circuit Mono Station as a glitchy groove box (lots of patch flip). Turns out pushing the limits of gear I already own can be a great distraction from all the shiny new things!

Anyone else have a Microcosm? I traded for one this week and was apprehensive at first, but am enjoying using it to mangle the Deluge output so far!

Been selling some gear lately and am thinking my next project should be called "Awkward conversations while waiting for the e-transfer to go through"
For example:
Me: What made you move to Hamilton?
Them: Rehab
Me: ...Oh!...Good for you
(It was actually a lovely conversation in the end)
