In early 2007 Sedimental Records released my collaboration with Ralf Wehowsky, I don't think I can see you tonight. It was good! In early 2027 Sedimental Records will release Ralf's and my follow-up 2CD, Recollection of a Crime. It's great!

Early last year, a genius overhauled my saxophone, and suddenly I was able to do things that seemed impossible. A certain type of music started flowing as a result. Later, I was listening to one of Sarah's recordings and realized that we were on the same vector, so to speak. So I broached this idea.

I only discovered his music recently (guess I'm a dummy), but I sure listened to it a lot once I got smart. Particularly Dockings and Burundi. The latter in spite of a perhaps too generous helping of didgeridoo. RIP

An algorithm beat me this morning, because seeing this (from the Suno Studio FB group) got me "engaged", and it's bleak out there. I did like one guy dispensing the advice that, until you've made 6000-7000 ai songs, you don't know what separates quality from novelty.

I've recommended this show so many times, mostly to polite nods. It's probably the last show I truly loved, and, now, years later, I often find myself in laughtears remembering some bit from it.

Soliciting advice on transducers for light materials, low volume-type stuff. Easy to amplify. The less soldering I have to do, the more skin I'll likely have a month from now. And, do people make these for noise folks, like contact mics, maybe with 1/4" connectors? Need to get going kinda fast 😅

Xynthii users, I've added some significant features. Oscs: 1. You can now switch between frequency modulation and phase modulation. Alt/option click the fm text box to switch. It is quite a different sound. 2. All oscs can use all three waveforms now. 1/4

I'm glad for this post and glad I took it seriously, because Red Rooms is the shit and I probably would have missed it otherwise. In the midst of so much "creative" horror that is mostly design decorating basic themes (it's fine, I like it), this is some real cinema. Like seeing Taxi Driver in 1976

Brad Inglesby can throw in as many references to scrapple as he wants, run every script through ChatGPT to maximize occurrences of the long "o", I don't care. But the way that British actor Emilia Jones says, "Are you serious right now?" has earned her a friend for life.

This is super cool. @cranksatori.bsky.social has released the first xynthii album (to my knowledge), using a pipsqueak with spectral-tracking to control and blend with xynthii. A different approach from many of the things I've done with it, as well as much of what I've heard from other people.
