I bought something a bit out-there recently, a Melbourne Instruments Nina, which is a 12-voice multitimbral analog polysynth with motorized knobs. It’s cool because it gets around one of my main frustrations with analog synths with patch saving, loading something and having the knobs all be wrong.

This is one of the more useful tips I picked up this year: dance music is largely about groove, not elaborate melodies, and a catchy riff and variations on it will often work best. I think I was already kinda doing that instinctively but it’s good to have it presented: youtu.be/aTcZ3d1BzWQ?...

Don't rely on melody in dance music (do this instead)

Something about the Phrygian mode tickles my brain in a way the others mostly don’t. If a random bit of music pops into my head there’s like an 80% chance it’s in Phrygian.

I like starting tracks with a constrained set of options and finishing them with my whole toolbox, which is what makes the Ableton Move great for me. I can’t start a track in Live: I just get option paralysis looking at the enormous library of sounds.

Been messing around with a Bass Station II so expect some of this soon

The great thing about Ableton Suite: an almost-infinite variety of presets. The not-so-great thing about Ableton Suite: an *almost-infinite* variety of presets. I’ve been auditioning drum kits for like 15 minutes and I’m only on D.

Just uploaded my very first song to Soundcloud, Carbonite! It's something I did for an Ableton Live class: soundcloud.com/sabercatte/c...

Playing live tonight at 10 PM EST at Kymarera in VRChat! You’ll need to be age verified (either through VRC or through Kymarera or an affiliate). It’ll be Group+ so you can toss me a request though I might not get to it immediately for obvious reasons.

Traded a surplus-to-requirements groovebox for an Arturia Minifreak, which I’ve wanted since the Hydrasynth narrowly edged it out as my first synth.

Wow, the OPUS-QUAD and the OMNIS-DUO finally got... streaming service support. Yeah, Pioneer released them without that table-stakes feature for standalone DJ controllers and it took them ALMOST TWO YEARS from the first's release to support it.

Had some medical stuff going on so I've been a bit delayed in getting stuff together, boo.

Pondering a mobile PA type thing and I really like the Yorkville EXM Mobile 12 I used at Howl, but I wish it had wheels and a handle because it kind of sucks to lug around. But it seems like the systems that do (e.g., JBL Partybox) mostly don't sound as good. Anyone have any suggestions?

To tide you over, here are some of my sets from back in 2012-2014 when I played as GeDM: m.mixcloud.com/GeDM/

I'm also mulling over submitting a demo to play at Vancoufur 2025 so that'll be posted here too if I do. That one may be harder stuff, more electro house/"mainstage" since people will be dancing. My room party set was more tech/deep house.

Couple pics from the room party I played at Howloween! Unfortunately I wasn't able to record the set for technical reasons but I've got an external recorder now and am thinking of recreating and posting it when I have a bit in the next few days.

Just added my logo, from @woodsmoke.bsky.social! Should have a set to share here before too long, and I’m working on setting things up so I can DJ in VRChat.
