A Copenhagen acquaintance is close to finishing up building a 4 track looper with built in FX, out here for a test run and beta testing. Very lovely to use. Currently unnamed and not yet for sale. The audio is a multitrack thing of me feeding it some various source and mixing it about.

One of my favourite Drumm droners. Maybe tied with The Sea Wins. I wonder if the phone has enough Drumm droners on it.

Lovely to see that people are finding my ReaperToWwise tool worth their time. Cheers to Romain.

Resonant Observation #1: Derek Bailey inside a glass head. What if Bailey's guitar playing came from inside a glass head? Only one way to find out. Derek Bailey - "Niigata Snow". www.youtube.com/watch?v=-luz...

A little release thing for three new CD releases at Inferno bar in Copenhagen, which will, according to BIN/Jonas Olesen, "NEVER be released digitally". CD glitches and manipulations. Check Jonas' custom-printed t-shirt. The only bar I've been to that played Mika Vanio as background music.

Ripping CDs and found this ECM disc I had almost forgotten about. Well worth your time.

Sorry, I just screenshotted this and couldn't save it until #cdfriday

Preliminary test recordings for what might become a library of function generator tones and textures. Recorded at 192khz with intensely beautiful spectrograms as a byproduct.

Smartphone sensor data sent as OSC to computer over local network, read by Lua script, controls params for Reaper feedback loop. #gameaudio www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO9W...

A continuation of my foray into recursive processing, this time using outboard gear and a custom Reaper script to automate the process. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8wl... #gameaudio #sounddesign

Portable transducer prototype from discarded Bluetooth speaker. Held together by duct tape and equal parts frustration and excitement.

(1/4) In 2023 I hosted a night of music in a local Copenhagen library, dedicated to what I was allowed to find at the basement in the old "Demoteket" category, a now-defunct 'underground library' where local artists could donate releases to be put alongside regular library items.

Say I want to buy a digital copy of Guy Somberg's Game Audio Programming 5 book, how do I even do that if it's not a Kindle edition? I'm not too well-versed in ebook formats and standards, but it starts to seem like "just getting the PDF" is simply not possible. #gameaudio

Sunday night activities: Ripping CDs to computer and checking the 4 new Discman units I bought untested (one has the worst case of battery corrosion in any piece of equipment I've ever seen). #cdsunday

After quite a while without, I finally get a new license for the music player Swinsian and have now begun digging into the old music collection harddrive. A fair few things on there I've missed. Contemplating ripping my entire CD collection - and contemplating getting a dedicated DAP (iPod died).

Game Audio Denmark is now on Bluesky. Really looking forward to Schmid's talk on Ancient Game Audio. See you at the Unity offices in Copenhagen on the 21st of January 2026. #gameaudio

I waited all day to try out adding free jazz to the combat in a Soulslike game. Imagine it with a different game world and aesthetic. But still imagine. Butchered version of Newfoundland by AMM. #gameaudio

New sequencer looks hellish.

Shot from the middle of the Marantz cassette beltchange session. It helped a ton. Still wonky. But now I at least have rudimentary tape delay again.

Soundtrack to reading this is Pan Sonic.

Very rare italian modular system.

Sitting among boxes, waiting to fly the dual-wielding Discman setup out to Milano on November 8th for the Second Sleep showcase.
