I may have found a Critter & Guitari Bolsa Bass to accompany the ancient but still totally cromulent OG Organelle. Wooden buttons for days...

Organelle 1.0 OG: "Dumpster Beat." An ambient drum mix.

I got a Warp. Using this with passive pickups doesn't work well, so I have a Boss BP-1W on the way. I want to try them together before I draw any impressions, but so far, I find this as delightful as any other heat Soma puts out.

Do I buy the new autoharp and have it shipped across the world, or not? :\

They're so colorful. I want more :(

I need to record something and put it here. I only have my autoharp with me, but that doesn't mean I can't make music with the dozen pedals that I got in my luggage. I could also go to the synth shop and buy that Solar42 I've been eyeing but that's a hefty boi to bring through passport control.

I don't have a DAW but I do have like 285 pedal patch cables.

raudvik.bandcamp.com I have a new album coming on Friday, but in the meantime, why not take a dive into what's already there on my #Bandcamp? Support everyone's favorite (debatable), lovable (seriously debatable) queer #ambient artist today!

The yellow section of the Moog Grandmother is where the magic happens.

”The Tropical Dumpster” by MYXY 🎧 myxtape.io/broadcasts/m...

My first ReMYx posted! myxtape.io/broadcasts/m...

Me: I built an app where people can post audio files in reply to other people's audio. There's also social sharing, likes, curated feeds, and RSS. Social, but with audio! Serials! Podcasts! Musicians! Synth nerds! Also Me: This will be used for smut. Also also Me: This will be used for smut.

I built a Watchy ESP32 epaper watch today. So far, I'm liking the aluminum case, and the custom faces are really fun. I need to find a MicroUSB cable to connect it with the Arduino IDE and change the location for temperature and weather.

Practically an Australian now.

I found a Bondi Effects 2026 compressor pedal at Caaaashiiies. A compressor is really useful for an autoharp. It can help make sure every string is heard at a consistent level without having to constantly adjust playing strength.

I just canceled my Spotify subscription after being a paid member for years. I'm thinking of moving over to Tidal. Are there any other good alternatives?

Someone needs to revive the Cybiko concept for 2026. A $60 US handheld with LoRa + BLE that creates a city-scale mesh chat and commerce network — no internet, no cell towers, no central authority. Just community-owned radio.

Rewarded myself for making it through another month and doing some chores today. Just call me Joseph Gordon-Levitt because I got myself an old Looper. (Boss RC-10R Rhythm Loop Station)

This phone call said that I could pay my tax bill with Milk Bones And I don't think that sounds legit but okay.

Elderly golden retriever energy.

I can have my very own nigiri bullet train that operates on AA batteries.

My first huntsman. It was the size of my hand 🕷️

Now and forever, putting all of my URLs through creepylink.com instead of a link shortening service.

Poly Bridge 2 is where good engineers learn "I don't know how it works but it's under budget so it ships."

Well, uh, it sounds...fuzzy? Mission accomplished! What do you think?

Who went to Cashies and got two legendary guitar pedals and Macca's fries? 👆👆

Me when I finally visit a Cashies in Australia for the first time and discover the used guitar pedals sitting next to a random old foot massager.

I walked into a JB Hi-Fi for the first time today. I was looking for a cable for something. It was overwhelming, like that scene from The matrix where they were like "We Need Guns" and woooooosh.

There's a RAM shortage, you say? Well, the dark side of AliExpress is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

If an all Radio Shack rig is a nightmare, then call me Freddy and give me the striped sweater along with some Benadryl.

Into the breach. Where's the coffee?

Nothing says "I'm glad it's Friday" like eating a sushi sampler for two alone in the dark corner of a bar.

Photo of the person who buys last in-stock good looking colorway of a synth that I've been looking at since March, leaving me with basic ass black or white.

Plex Submits $35 Bid For Warner Bros.

I just realized that the lid for this cheese spread tube is the chef's hat and it's adorable.

I like the passive pickups on my D'Aigle, but really, there's something nice about playing it acoustic and just letting the strings sing. I am so happy with it, but I do miss my Oscar Schmidt. It's cheaper, flimsier, and feels like it was built out of old plyboard, but it has a lot of character.

How the synthesizer sounds when the demo track hits YouTube versus my best efforts.

I think that out of all of the instruments that I have packed away, the one that I wish I could play now is the mountain dulcimer. It is so easy to make things that sounded beautiful with very little effort, and it was magical to pluck while I sat there with a cup of coffee.

When I'm traveling abroad and I see that bell on the horizon

I ordered apple pear cinnamon loaf; I got apple pie because I speak far too softly in a yinzer accent. Not even disappointed.

Here, have some red grape music. The Pocket Scion senses biometric feedback data from the surface of plants, fungi, or other lifeforms and uses these signals to generate musical notes and expressions.

Teenage Engineering strikes again. A dub and reggae version of the EP sampler. It's covered in references to dub and reggae, but the first thing I'm going to try to use it for is to try to make ska. And then I wonder why there is no ska sampler with a Madness theme and a $400 TE pork-pie hat.

BTS flavor is kind of like blueberry. I wanted to try matcha brown sugar, but that seems like something I would need to sleep off for a few hours.

Happy anniversary to Bob Moog's US patent number 3,475,623, the voltage-controlled low pass filter! October 29th, 1969.

This is the first time I've had a latte like this. I like it.

Remembering the old dirty game shop days when I hacked a 360 analog stick into a GameCube controller.

Before I left, my partner gave me a beautiful new synth, the Pocket Scion. It has some alligator clip leads that connect to any organic material. Using measurements of resistance across the probes, it generates musical sequences. The voice and different music parameters adjust with push buttons.

So I'm traveling, and I found these. I've never had them before, and because of the blue packaging, I expected ranch. Paprika is not ranch.

I may have acquired a beautiful hand-built D'aigle autoharp after visiting their workshop. It has passive pickups and fine tuning so I can really crank out that folk cover of "The Ace of Spades."
