“Hey, we have this great job we’d like to offer you, but you’d need to move to Texas at your expense.” No fucking thank you.

Going to try to get some desk space back.

Ever feel like you’re losing your musical voice? It’s been so long, I’m starting to forget

Between my new business and school, music has taken a distant third in my hierarchy of priorities. I need to get back to it.

Now selling my DSI Pro 2: #synthsky reverb.com/item/9261320...

In my head canon, “The Blackhole” and “Event Horizon” happen in the same universe.

Decided this was to be home to the MPC Live III. It’s wired up to control the rack next to it as well. #synthsky

Buyers on reverb who negotiate a price and the refuse to pay are fucking annoying.

New meets old: Akai MPC Live III and MPC Live II Retro.

Selling my Oxi One mkI: reverb.com/item/9252099...

I have Roland Juno-X…but honestly, Jura sounds better.

After having a play with the MPC Live III, I have trouble justifying keeping any of my groove boxes. I mean…what *cant* it do?

Something I’ve really come to dislike: videos that compare a 50 year old instrument to a modern clone. You’re going to have difficulty getting two of the originals to exactly match up. All you can really say is the clone does match your particular original. So it’s really useless content.

A guy on reverb who is from Tbilisi, Georgia gave me an offer but wants to send me direct wire transfer and is willing to pay me extra for the convenience. Yeah, I’m gonna have to pass, dude.

If your work for ICE, you’re human trash.

Buy my Akai Force, #synthsky! reverb.com/item/9246983...

I’ve been slightly obsessed with reviving some of my very old EBM work. Some of those songs had really good basic structures I could do so much more with now. I don’t know how I’d do vocals for them, though.

Work has been crazy! New company is off to a good start!

Damnit, Akai. When will there be a live III retro? (Because there is only one proper paint job for an MPC)

I used to love synthesizers. They used to sound like the future. Now it seems electronic musicians have lost all imagination and only want the past.

Fuckenomics: the study of managing you balance of incoming and outgoing fucks.

I got my first client for my business today. also..HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!

My entire life is a side-quest.

In case anyone wants to hear me mess around with the Vermona DRM1 mkIV while I make a sample set for it. #synthsky youtube.com/live/MssfFNn...

If you’re using an auto sampler to capture every third note over an 8 octave range you are most likely just wasting your memory. There. I said it. #synthsky

Re-imagining some of my ambient work as primitive instrumental EBM....and it's working.

I’d like someone to explain to me what is broken in my brain that I never enjoyed using an Ablation push or push 2, yet this Akai APC64 is making me like working with clips? #synthsky

Working on the desk. This is tough. I keep thinking I should just get an MPC Keyboard because at least that as aftertouch. #synthsky

I am saving this because in no universe will they ever be this well organized again. #synthsky

The part of the studio they never show you on instagram. #synthsky

Some peoples oldest possession is a toy or stuffed animal they’ve cherished all their lives. Me? I have a college level textbook on paleontology I was given when I was 7.

Me and this squirrel might be soul mates.

Sometimes, when I look at the news, I just think to myself “the luddites were right”

A few years ago, I had cataract surgery just so that Apple could go and modify their designed philosophy so that it looks like I have cataracts again #ios26

What the job search has become: “I’ll have my AI reach out to your AI and will trigger the apocalypse together”

Studio progress continues #synthsky

Moved both slatwalls this morning. They have better placement and are more properly anchored into the studs. Very solid. Now for arranging gear on them.

I know tariffs are affecting shipping prices, but Christ:

After evaluating, I don’t need to have a Behringer Neutron and a Proton. Honestly probably don’t need either given the girth of my eurorack collection, but I’m going to start by letting that one go….maybe.

Now in its final resting place. Much better for recording. #synthsky

Ok…time to get off my ass and do something

Moved this heavy bastard onto a stand with wheels. This is not its final resting place in the studio, but it will be much more easily moved in the future. #synthsky

Big sale....time to let go of a lot: www.noisetheorem.com/noise-to-sig... #synthsky

Could the music in Elektron promotional videos be anymore annoying? I have doubts that’s possible.

I’m preparing for the stages of Elektron gas: #synthsky #elektron

Post-vaccination brain fog is the dominant state for the day.
