All About That Synth Edition.

Friday - 1pm and 8pm, free - Holden Chapel @ #Harvard #CambridgeMA - infra-sonic, sub-woofer, modular #synth concert with Sound Lab Artist-in-Residence Retribution Body and guest performer #AshaTamirisa
This looks super cool if you’re into synthy music or putting unexpected sounds in beautiful/historic spaces - the 1pm show is tuning all the gear to the resonance of the Chapel, and the 8pm thing is the show.

"Anti-Hero" is a song by the American singer-songwriter #TaylorSwift and the #leadSingle from her tenth studio album, #Midnights (2022). Swift wrote and produced the song with #JackAntonoff. It is a #popRock and #synthpop song driven by a 1980s-inspired drum #loop generated with a #LinnDrum and retro #synthesizers such as the #Juno6 and the #Prophet5. Inspired by Swift's insecurities, the lyrics focus on self-loathing and the impact of fame on her wellbeing.

Very interesting exhibit by Scott Myles at the modern art museum in #glasgow. Lots of microphones, one of which mics the air recycling unit is fed into an #eurorack for some ambient drones accompanied by some deep low punches.
There're also giving away a cool poster that I have no way to safely transport :/
Another point of interest for me is seeing adam audio speakers in a museum. Usually i see genelecs so I'm curious if the speakers are the artists'.
Never managed to find time during the past two weeks, but the synth programming stream is BACK today! Enjoy a couple hours of Pigments programming (from 1:30 PST until 3:30 PST) while I wait for the Bills/Ravens game to start!

Great article from @stargirl describing VCOs and digitally-controlled oscillators (DCO) and why you may choose a DCO to avoid temperature-related frequency drift

Teenage engineering copyright struct AudioPilz/Florian and now they're getting streisandded lol. Very shit of them to include this line into their terms of condition.
Another words, can't use a preset on youtube.
Count me out buying more stuff from them.
"Your 400 dollars worth of a Eurorack module has electronics components worth 30 bucks inside. So you pay around 350 bucks for some aluminium plates and sockets. "

lol synth youtuber getting roasted in the comments. Be wary of youtubers who exude confidence, too often they don't know shit they're talking about.
My blofeld plugin is made of a few lines of code, why should I pay over a hundred eur when I can just type in some c++ into notepad and compile right?

Here is the full playlist from yesterday's stream train – 37 performances back to back over something like 20 hours, I'm not sure, I had to go to bed. I am always so inspired by what people bring to these things.

Hallo! I'm live now on Twitch doing #MusicProduction stuff, come and gimme a TOOT!
2-year anniversary update to my #introduction
Here to share #sounds, #music, #glitch art, and various #audio nerdery. Into #synthesizers, #guitar, and #noise, among other things.
I boost a lot of stuff, mostly music, art, & nerd stuff. Deleted my other account because spoons are in short supply these days. You can find schematics, sample packs, and other audio/music-related stuff on my website:
"Into the Groove" is a song recorded by American singer #Madonna, and featured on the 1985 film #DesperatelySeekingSusan. Written and produced by both Madonna and #StephenBray, the main inspiration behind the song was the dance floor; the singer wrote it while watching a Latin American man to whom she was attracted. Its #instrumentation features #synthesizers and #drumMachines, with Madonna's voice being #doubleTracked on the #chorus. Sexual innuendos.
