Thanks! I’m generally here https://younghierophant.bandcamp.com/ and www.goodglassrecords.com

This is beautiful - utterly

Hi Spike. Creator of JamLoopy here. I’m currently working on NTSC version and it seems on a good way. However, I can test it currently only in emulator (lacking NTSC console here). So if you feel like testing pre-release version, get in touch.

Really nice case! I think I recognize that X-Pan

Thanks. You know it!

Sven, thanks a lot for making this controller(s). I love your work, already received your beautiful PCBs. I can’t wait to populate them and looking forward to developing further ideas!

[Irving]

Yeah, it’s the least sexy thing on earth to spend $600 on. I’m probably about to do two more too. But the tradeoff in comfort and workflow and ergonomics has been worth it!

[SPIKE]

OH YEAH!
i have a Harmony Cart ready and waiting!
AWESOME!

Hey, where are you getting the Exra9 expansion kit?

[emenel]

I got it direct from e-licktronic

Recording hourglasses…

[coreyr]

Wow, does the marshmallow pickup sand grains well?

[pulplogic]

That looks fantastic. Great photo! I’ve been doing some hourglass experiments and your post motivated me to share.

Here is one where the sand was replaced with iron filings and the neck of the hourglass is wound with magnet wire. A CV signal through a DRV tile controls the flow of the grains. When a small current is applied the grains lock in the neck. I’m still experimenting with attaching tines to the piezo pickup. It can be a little messy if I’m not careful.

Interesting!!

have you both seen Gieskes’ Laserloper ?

[pulplogic]

Yes, Gieskes’ projects have been very inspirational for me.

[lijnenspel]

Amazing!! Did you do the glasswork yourself? Such a cool idea to be able to control the flow of the grains!

[lijnenspel]

Yes! It’s cool, Gieskes is awesome! I was looking for something less technical and easier to swap different hourglasses out and ended up going for piezos. I’ve been playing with the idea of productising it into a white noise generator/meditation timer. Unfortunately bigger hourglasses are very receptive to room noise and active noise cancellation would be difficult to get right. So the product is on hold and I’m recording a lot of different hourglasses in an anechoic chamber as an album instead.

[pulplogic]

Thank you. It’s good to see like minds.

I would like to learn how to properly work with glass but I’m a total beginner. I used a diamond hole saw drill bit under a stream of water to open the top and bottom holes. It was slow going and still cracked a little. The top funnel is just glued in place.

How does the SP fit into your workflow? I’m always curious to how others make it work for them.
