Late night messing around with hit boxes in Godot.

My first synthwave release as V22X is out now! Hit the link and check out "Summer Nights," and lemme know what you think! link.v22x.fm/summer-nights

Hey fellow music makers (especially music producers who work with virtual drum kits a lot): I own an Akai LPD8 mk2, and it's great, but I feel like 8 pads is not enough. Can anyone recommend a good 16+ pad MIDI controller? I'm considering the Akai MPD218, PreSonus Atom, & Novation Launchpad X. Tnx!

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air. This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

REPOST if you stand with Jimmy Kimmel!

I know I said I was going to keep this new artist profile under wraps and let it grow organically on its own, but.. screw it. 😆 Meet my alter ego: V22X! link.v22x.fm/bio The first single release, "Summer Nights," is coming September 26th! Hit the link above to pre-save it.

Time to schedule the release of a new track. Electronic sub-genre options are always disappointing. Phonk? Check. Goa trance? Check. But synthpop, or synthwave? Nowhere to be found.

Learned enough Blender to make a cool splash animation for a new music project of mine. Months later, I need to make some changes to it. Forgot how to use Blender. Fuck. 😆

The latest acquisition in reverb plugins for creating tasty synthwave vibes! Wave Alchemy Glow (RMX16 emulation) and Arturia Rev LX-24 (Lexicon 224 emulation).

Well, I learned how to use FMOD Studio. That wasn't so bad.. and a ton of fun!

Another example of a cover that's way way better than the original. Daaaang! www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5V_...

Writing some new music for a game I'm working on, and tapping into synths + creepy choir chants. Just a normal Saturday! #cults #sacrifice

🗣️ Indivisible Greater West Loop got into some Good Trouble tonight! ⚡️The energy in Daley Plaza was electric. It was an honor to celebrate the legacy of John Lewis and hear from so many powerful speakers. 🔥 Thanks to all the amazing organizers! 👉 Join us for the next one! indivisiblegwlchi.org

Hey gamers! What have you picked up for the Steam Sale so far? I grabbed MGS: The Phantom Pain (never played it!) to scratch that military stealth itch, and Sniper Elite 4, because I need a healthy outlet that allows me to shoot Nazis. 😏

@indivisiblechicago.bsky.social Any plans for the No Kings 2.0 protest on July 4th?

Hey friends~! So, little announcement: I voiced one of the characters in Take Us North. It's been wonderful seeing this project come to life and I can't wait for y'all to experience it. If you can, please support this team and help them bring this deeply important game to the masses! Back them!👇🏽

I think it's high time I create an extended version of...

"The grass is greener" syndrome prompted me to demo various glue/master compressors. I tried Cytomic's The Glue, and SSL Native Bus Compressor 2. Then I went back to SPL Iron, which I own. MY GOD, the difference is night & day. If you want transparency, the first two are great. But..

😴😹

If you like downtempo/ambient stuff, you gotta check out this tune from a friend of mine! open.spotify.com/track/2oo1e8... Trippy, dreamy, and I love the organic elements and string trills sprinkled throughout!

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

New watch, who dis? Henry Archer Nordsø. The standout feature is the painted dial made from Muonionalusta meteorite, as old as our solar system: approx 4.5 billion years! Each piece of this ancient rock has its own unique, irreplicable pattern. A killer watch for space & sci-fi geeks!

If you're planning on protesting on Trump's birthday (🤮), check out these awesome posters from the American Iron Front! @ironfront-usa.bsky.social www.ironfrontusa.org/resources

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Holy smokes.

Dark times inspire dark, genius art. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD-u...

Sooo.. putting a monkey on my helmet was an "upgrade" to this armor? Ok. I guess no one in the game will ever take Jin Sakai seriously again. 😂

Man, @softube.com's Model 84 (Juno-106) is such a faithful recreation, there's a slight hiss introduced when you enable either chorus I or II. 😄 So cool!

Sure, I think 50.8% punishment is sufficient.

We are excited to share a massive discount on tickets (in-person or virtual!) to The Night Temple's first conference happening May 30th through June 1st! Details here: www.thenighttemple.com/musicinvisua... The coupon code is RC50OFF and is valid for only 10 redemptions! Hope to see you there!

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

For every like this post gets, I’ll list something surprising in #Arrhenius that you probably aren’t expecting to exist in the next Ice Age.

Just recently started writing new music under a pseudonym. Totally different style, starting from scratch with zero fans, zero released tracks, zilch. I'm gonna give it a solid try, but if I don't get any traction, I'll let the cat out of the bag. 😆 Until then, 🤐

SoundCloud knows artists don't want their music used in AI training, and this is in their Terms of Use! 😮 Yet another reason to not use SoundCloud for professional pitches. We will always have artists' backs!

‼️ Heads up ‼️ SoundCloud's terms of use specify that any audio you upload can be used to train their AI model(s). Yet another reason to avoid that joke of a platform. If you're looking for a way to pitch your music or sound design work, try @reelcrafter.com. We'll never pull this kind of crap.

Alternatives exist to SoundCloud - @reelcrafter.com is one really nice option! #vgm #gamemusic #composer

I'm stoked for my friend @jesseharl.in who, after years of hard work, has officially released his tabletop RPG, Arrhenius (@arrhenius.bsky.social)! You can learn more & purchase it here: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... Be sure to check out the awesome trailer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbrp...

The music is from the fantastic @samhulick.com and is called "The Colossus." You can actually read more about that piece of music on page 187 of the official #Arrhenius rules! There's #lore!

It's hilarious that Daft Punk submitted lyrics for this song.

If you haven't watched "Love on the Spectrum" on Netflix, you really should! Absolutely heartwarming and authentic show. Wrapping up season 7 today. The music for the more romantic moments is really sublime, very Satie.

This is REALLY not good, folks. Like, incredibly bad. "F.B.I. agents arrested a county judge in Milwaukee on Friday, accusing her of shielding an immigrant from federal authorities." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

I was looking for a tool to check if a splash video I just made in Blender (with neon light flicker) was safe for those with epilepsy. Found this & wanted to share! Run it, then look at the Luminance Frame Result, Red Frame Result, and Pattern Frame Result. You want zeros across the board. #a11y

How is this not all over the news yet? Man. We're turning into Gilead here, and people from other countries aren't gonna want to visit. Can't blame them one bit. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Speaking of Blender: Yo technical artists, what are your favorite sites to buy 3D models from?

Did a self-guided Blender crash course this weekend and learned enough to make some basic album cover art for future releases. Fun stuff! It's surprisingly easy to set up some basic shapes or SVGs, and rig the camera and lighting to get a really vibey look.

Hey visual artists! Are any of you into creating synthwave style art? Send me your portfolios. 👀

When synth newbs first mess around with the filter resonance knob (we've all been there) 😆

Fuuuuucking hell. 🤌😎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXFk...

Italians: "From the people who brought you spaghetti..." Me: "Oh man, this is gonna be good" Italians: "...and created fan favorites like ravioli and gnocchi..." Me: "Hell yeah, hit me with it!" Italians: "...we bring you... chicken cacciatore!" Me: 😮😕😑😞💀
