Thanks to the techfashbros for getting me to:
Vastly reduce my online activities/footprint.
Read actual physical books.
Produce art instead of just consuming content.
Buy local.
Spend more time with friends in person.
Question if the benefits of the Internet outweigh the harms.
Question if the benefits of capitalism outweigh the harms.
Bravo.
I look forward to seeing all of them getting everything they fully deserve.

Whipped this one up over morning coffee the other day: experimenting on the iPad, feeding metal chord progressions from Riffler into Pure Acid on some acid house setting. I'm 'playing' Riffler throughout the track by changing chords on the fly as well as the usual knob twiddling. Pure Acid is handling the drums.
The results were suprisingly good!
p.s. as for the two minutes of silence at the end -- well, we all need a break sometime LOL

One of the reasons I'm still on #SoundCloud is that I find their metrics ("Insights") useful (if somewhat wonky at times).
Turns out that 'Pressure Wave' is my all-time most-listened-to track: 2,487 plays in the last 14 months!
And I still need to clean it up more in the mix LOL.

New Release: "Flaws in the Crystal"
Gear: ASM Hydrasynth Desktop; Expressive E Osmose CE.
Soft Synth: u-he Diva.
My first release using the Osmose and playing around with MPE in the Hydrasynth as well as a (really good) soft synth (the u-he Diva).
It's too easy to make pretty music with the Osmose. Hopefully I've scuffed this one up enough.
