I recently had the pleasure of working on a video about the Novation Summit: a gorgeous synth with design roots going all the way back to the 1970s. Full video here: youtu.be/Xx5GRoyyL5A

In this episode of Will It Synth, Dave ( @dhilowitz.bsky.social ) takes on a traditional Korean Gayageum he found in a thrift shop, did his best to restore, then digitize for your listening and sampling pleasure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJf7...

Fred Poirier & Joël Dollié's work on the free API Drums is stunning. Special shoutout to Fred's incredible programming. It's hard to believe, but all 10 presets are from the same drum kit. Super duper thanks to @dhilowitz.bsky.social & Decent Sampler! youtu.be/Mohhseg71mg

Was thrilled when @dhilowitz.bsky.social reached out to me for some advising on chiptune and LSDJ for his new video! Was equally thrilled to have a bit of my music featured in the video as well! It's a fantastic video go check it out! youtu.be/2Ve984OpJeU?...

REAPER’s HTML Render Statistics are super handy if you’re creating tons of audio assets constantly & need to make sure they meet the loudness specs of your client or target platform. Easily recall loudness readings of past assets without re-measuring! #reaperdaw #gameaudio #sounddesign #wwise #vgm

It's clear that the Trump administration denied due process to the migrants it banished to El Salvador *precisely because* any measure of judicial oversight would've proved their innocence immediately. Deported, imprisoned, and condemned to hard labor—for a soccer tattoo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

We’re Finally Seeing the “Evidence” Against the Migrants Deported by Trump. It’s Unbelievable.

The Trump admin said a soccer player had a gang tattoo. It’s a tattoo of Real Madrid’s logo.

They're dismantling the agency that can, if it did robust enforcement, fill the deficit. For every $1 it spends on enforcement it generates $5-$9 in revenue. We lose ~1 trillion dollars each year to tax fraud, mostly from the rich. Musk paid no income tax in 2021 www.propublica.org/article/the-...

I made an electronic music album! As many of you know, each of my videos contains at least one new piece of original music, and yet, I almost never end up releasing the music from the videos. With this record, I'm hoping to change that. :) davidhilowitz.bandcamp.com/album/electr...

So the @decentsamples.com website is under some sort of attack. We've had 100k+ requests in the past 12h with many different suspicious URLs. They're coming from 4k+ different IPs. MaxMind says all of the IPs are from @cloudflare.social. Wonder how the attackers are doing that?

Way before editing software, Sergei Eisenstein invented a storyboard method incorporating storyboarding, music - in this case Prokofiev’s score - and an emotional temperature gauge This is a scene from Alexander Nevsky (1938) Isn’t it amazing?! #movies #composition #graphic #history
