…seeing as how music is more a hobby (I feel so dirty saying that)

Don’t! There is nothing wrong with music being a hobby! There is plenty wrong with pushing everyone to aspire to be “a producer”, or that one should even draw some hard line between “hobbiest” and “serious” musical practice.

My Wife bought me a patchbay for christmas its been sat there unused from the fear of not knowing , tonight is the first time i’m going to attempt to install it, so much planning, head scratching and kinda unsure what i actually want from it…

Fun minimal setup, block controlling granular size/position/density. PO on drums.

Finished some machined case tops. White dibond is pretty but so is wood.

[Noisetrees]

That wooden one-four-sixteen thingy is mesmerizingly beautiful. What is it if I may ask?

Four-N 128 sized knob controller

[image] grouped into powers of four: 1, 4, 16. to address different levels of granularity. no visual feedback, just high quality pots. usb-midi for plug-and-play compliance, CC 1-21 i basically created a 128 grid sized shield for the teensy 3.1. or, it could just be considered a very expensive wire harness. the board uses the same high quality Alpha pots we import directly for our eurorack modules. the teensy code has one stage of noise filtering and is incredibly responsive. this is quite …

Thought I’d lost this 7” but the twins found it in the shed.

Sunday, catching up with some old friends.

This is rather cool, for some CASSA goodness

[Claire]

Thank you, thats a slim piece of beech with a knot in just the right place. Oiled and sealed It has a slight feathery shimmer in real life, the silver aluminium knobs are a nice contrast.

Not sure if this belongs here but I just finished putting together a stripboard double sloth. Just need another bi-colour led. That’s supposed to be a sloth on the bottom of the panel but it lost most of the detail with I shrank it to fit.

Pretty close to a stable state with this one

Compact live rig.

[Voltmeister]

Great setup Maarten! Very curious to hear how you as a cello player translate that skill and ‘fretless’ feel to the Haaken. Any place I can view/hear this performance?

[MaartenVos]

Hi! The concert/video was a livestream curated by Colin benders which is unfortunately not online anymore, but I have some snippets on my Instagram with the haken which you can find here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJlNvKChAv-/?igshid=uxn2ovma3c98

[Voltmeister]

Thanks for sharing. That sounds very very nice and emotive. The detailed response is just amazing. Is the sound coming from the onboard EaganMatrix?

[MaartenVos]

Yes it’s the matrix indeed.

Looking forward to hear your opinions!

[dianus]

I don’t have a strong opinion yet since I just finished building it but first impressions are good! it reminds me a lot of the bastl soft pop, in the way the normal-ed connections work and how it’s a bit more noise/drone focused than melodic. It was an intermediate build in reflection. I’ve tried to include my building insights in the recursive machine thread.
