This is my current studio space. The fisheye makes it look deceivingly big, but it’s actually just a tiny alcove in my kitchen, so things need to get moved about a lot, depending on what I am doing. To the left is a rack of shelves where I keep gear that isn’t currently being made use of (my Monome 256 is sitting there!)

I dream of having a dedicated room at some point, preferably with some natural light.

Vermona envy incoming

[unexpectedbowtie]

They make some awesome stuff. I’ve got the DRM (racked), the Vermona Kick, and just got the Perfourmer… the Kick was the gateway drug.

[Simeon]

Yeah, I’ve already got the vermona kick, because, well, untz.

[unexpectedbowtie]

I remember initially thinking: “£100 just for a KICK sound?!”

How wrong I was.

my lovely wife designed and had a friend make this little stand for my birthday. perfect for playing on the floor (without killing my back/knees lol).

When I got home today, I found my partner fully immersed in the wonderful world of Plumbutter.

…and the curious cosmos of micro cassettes.

Very happy (and a bit silly) about my new Digitone.

[polyoptics]

Played at Ambience Chasers in London last night.

Happy to report that the W/ behaved itself!!

[infovore]

I can confirm this was very good indeed.

One last rehearsal before tomorrow’s gig in Helsinki with @philmaguire and Megan Steinberg.

The set is about 2/3 samples manipulated live through the modular (rockbox iPod, Radio Music and g0 being the sample players) and 1/3 loops played back (with some send FX) by the Zoom R24.

Woah! The sci-fi/cyberpunk vibes!

[eesn]

so gutted i missed this

Cold Mac arrived today ‘completing’ my planned skiff, excited to see what it can do with the O+C!

[setfield]

Testify! I’d love an explanation for this. Is this a continued decline from the MP3 and streaming audio? Is it a perversion of the vintage/lo-fi hipster trend? Please… Someone explain (before I pull my Nakamichi from the garage)!

I like the physicality of tape loops and the lofi trash sound from them. I like that I can edit tape with just a pair of scissors and some sticky tape.

I just released an album on cassette for the first time, and mostly that was about cost, a small run of tapes is a lot cheaper than vinyl and it feels odd releasing music made on tapes on CD
