who knew a free casio keyboard could sound like this? casio - zoia - mercury 7 - coastline youtube.com/shorts/RYQjM...

Absolutely lovely compilation (collaboration?) from @go-outside-music.bsky.social and friends. #ambient at its finest. studio-obscura.bandcamp.com/track/an-exq...

Annulus plugin (based on mutable instruments ‘rings’) sequenced by the mighty Waymaker #synthsky youtube.com/shorts/k1S2N...

GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.

Is it just me, or is everything stupid and terrible today? 🤔💣💥

Are algorithms a scam?

I’m naming my next project - “congratulations! you’ve been selected as a finalist in our $1M giveaway. click this link to claim your prize!”

Cable management here i come

Aoife is being a sweet little baby this morning

New #ZOIA patch; “grain-storm" Granular delay with (4) pitch-controlled granular modules. Extensive and intuitive control on the front page of probability, buffer-size, delay time/feedback, bp filter, wet/dry, ‘freeze’ function, and pitch shifting. #synthsky gooutsidemusic.com/product/grai...

They’re coming after our fuel-tanker-captain jobs now 😞

As a macbook user, what’s up with these posts i see where people are like ”check out my new PC” and its a giant, mostly empty aquarium-looking thing with flashing lights and fans? Why are they so huge? Why are they so empty?

Even if you’re tired of hearing about how terrible the current regime is…this is worth paying attention to.

Back in my day, we didn’t have “AI slop”… we just had poorly translated product descriptions / manuals.

Built my first eurorack case

I explore the Behringer Mode 15 (moog grandmother) in all its toasty warm analog glory in this little live ambient performance. What do we think of behringer here on bluesky? #ambient #synthsky #modularsynth youtu.be/EKmGAsVfMnU

The great thing about a semi-modular synth is that it doesn’t increase my desire to acquire more things into and out of which to plug at all 😎 #synthsky

It’s pronounced “moog”

Recording the reeds at Elmley Nature Reserve. Field recording is good for the soul ✨

I’m super late to the game but here’s my first go at VCV Rack. This setup would be many thousands of dollars. But here it’s free. And that’s crazy. #synthsky #vcvrack #modularsynth youtube.com/shorts/K1MIO...

Gorgeous new album by Port Sleep on @seilrecords.bsky.social Intimate, spacious, thoughtful, carefully textured…warm blanket on a rainy day kind of music. portsleep.bandcamp.com/album/as-lon...

How do i get started making music on an iPad? What apps are fundamental/necessary? What apps will let me send midi out to hardware synths? Preferably without spending any money?? (I already have the iPad) #synthsky #ambient

Crepuscular? I hardly know her

yes we are terrible at bluesky but we send many a bandcamp email especially on bandcamp friday follow us if you'd like AT: mysterycircles.bandcamp.com

I’m doin it. I’m selling this bad boy.

We need healthcare and affordable housing for all Americans, not taxpayer funding for war crimes.

You should all demand a refund on your taxes next year for the cost of the Iran war.

Fun mail day! A friend made me this custom, Totoro-themed clone of the 29 Pedals “Euna”

seems like a great technology to build literally everything on

Maybe technology has failed and embarrassed humans enough times now that we can put it on the shelf to focus on other more promising forms of progress.

My first full-length album turns 5 years old this week. I can’t believe it was that long ago. Still slaps if you ask me. #ambient #synthsky gooutsidemusic.bandcamp.com/album/sourdo...

sorry

*someone who has received sustained long-term positive feedback and validation from other people about their art*: “You gotta be authentic! Make art for YOU. It doesn’t matter what other people think."

I love these kinds of comments. I put a lot of work into making these things accessible. It’s great knowing that effort paid off.

this photo rocks

I get 4-8 emails like this every day from different senders. The real cost of having a website.

yesterday's fun new project, today's mixdown headache but feeling pretty good about this dubby techno tune, featuring some bird-filled field recordings from @go-outside-music.bsky.social #techno #dubtechno #ableton

Critically endangered kakapos had a great season for berries...which means they got their fuck on. They laid over 200 eggs and 100 have already hatched! Chubby birds LIVE! www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a...

YouTubers: “I can’t stress enough how important it is that you watch this video in it's entirety completely to the very end. Trust me, you’ll be glad that you did. You’re not gonna believe what happens."

me *enforcing my clearly stated, in multiple places, 24hr cancellation policy*: welcome to my villain era

Well I survived. Got home at 2am. And after many more hours of work…I’ll have a piano and a vibraphone sample instrument to show for it.
