can't remember if this is the one you make by hitting an axe with a cabbage, or with two coconut halves and a squeeze horn

Having fun at Freq Boutique tonight in Denver. It’s a fine town for synth nerds. The various things I think were wrong or weak in my set didn’t seem to matter to the audience.

Desperate for a gate to trigger converter right now but cannot seem to wrangle one from what I have on hand. 😫

“Oh, I *did* order these ten CDs.” Hard to tell whether my memory or my impulse control are failing worse.

Surely I already have a micro-SD card. Somewhere. Hmmm… How could I not? But, where??? 🤔

Where has feedback been my entire synth life?? I guess I was a bit scared of damaging my system or my hearing, but when used carefully I've really been enjoying the spectrum of feedback from adding some tasty saturation to high pitched howling and back! #modular #synthsky

On this day in 1977, Television released their brilliant debut studio album “Marquee Moon" RIP bassist Fred Smith who died this past Thursday, Feb 5th.

This whole album is great, but The Museum is extra special for me. Scratches an itch very few tracks come close to touching.

Putting "Erase Disk" directly under "Eject Disk" seems like a design issue.

Kind of obsessed with my 11-year-old's drawing of a black hole barfing out a rainbow and creating the earth.

Do you have a favourite #Eurorack module that you just love? One that just seems to spark a great patch every time? That one for me is the Intellijel Metropolix. It's just magic. #synthsky

...horrifying message without context, thank you

I found this missing adapter! I can only make crazy music from here on out.

Maybe that's the whole blog post: "In theory, this is creepy. But actually, I don't hate it as much as I believe I ought to?"

Don't miss out on doing what you want just because no one else can/wants to do it w/you. Go to the movies alone! Take that solo road trip! Go to the concert of a group you like! Take yourself out for breakfast! Hit up that festival by yourself! There's freedom in not being beholden to anyone else.

I am ALL IN. Just viewed 28 Years Later: Bone Temple and it hit me as EXCELLENT. (Thanks, @vmdtm.bsky.social for encouraging me to see the previous film.) Bone Temple may be the pinnacle of apocalypse-motif SF so far. Brilliant in so many ways, interwoven neatly.

Basking in Simon Boswell’s soundtrack composition for Hardware (1990). I wonder how much he was a pathbreaker in writing and performing it.

Back in the office and with a bit more Henry Cow. Completing the Virgin trilogy, this is my favourite of Ray Smith's wonderfully tactile and brilliant covers. Whenever I get this LP out, I always get a hankering for a string of red liquorice for some reason.

It's really a testimony to how talented John Carpenter is that even guys like Harlan Ellison and Roger Ebert who detested slasher films as a matter of principle still had to admit that Halloween was a brilliant piece of cinematic horror.

YouTube’s algorithm has decided to spam me AI slop-cocktails of astronomy, cosmology, and post-Lovecraftian horror.

David Bowie Takes My Hand is such a sweet song. It’s on the latest album by The Chameleons, Arctic Moon.

@cooperlund.online Congratulations, you coaxed me into breaking my resolution to not post political content on BlueSky.

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

Switchblade Symphony had such a fine debut.

I have built a dedicated nerdseq keyboard out of a Planck and it turned out it was an extremely good idea. #eurorack

i'm thinking janey-e had a good point here

The new Polyend Endless pedal is exactly where we’ve been seeing electronic music hardware point for decades, now: towards software. I think they’re doing it better than Roland’s clumsy lurch.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Visiting the town I lived in during the 70s, at the café that opened in the 70s, where they’re playing 70s Pop music, is a heaping helping of nostalgia.

W has become my favorite Boris album. It certainly demonstrates their ability to construct entire albums. My favorite track is You Will Know (Ohayo Version)

there's still time to get this post to your friends who are at the intersection of the Bontempi and 28 Years Later fandoms

I shouldn't be watching these. I don't have room for another synth. I guess I am getting old when this doesn't give me got to have feeling even when it does somethings better than other synths. #SynthSky

This must be the Shobijin song of preemptive mourning for your enemies. #monsterdon #mothra

My reaction in regard to BC’s ban on AI music. To illustrate my point, consider the discography of Roland Kayn.
