Sick and tired of Unison Audio's relentless and aggressive advertising on YouTube. Just hoping this works. If I hear, "the chords are MADE FOR YOU!" once more I'm either going to cry or break something!

Sticky knobs begone! My Microbrute is looking like new again thanks to lots of IPA and 1.5 hours of elbow grease. :)

My Bluesky feed is mainly full of gaming (video, board and card games) and politics. I'm forever trying to work out whether a post mentioning MTG is about Magic The Gathering or Marjorie Taylor Greene!

My new Max4Live devices, Backspin and Backspin+, are now available on the Isotonik Studios website.

I’ve just released ‘Backspin’, a free #maxforlive and #ableton audio effect that aims to emulate vinyl-style stops (short tape-stop & gradual wind-down), rewinds, and backspin effects. Get it here: andrewnorris.uk/backspin/ Tutorial / Demo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkeD...

Pretty impressed with Ableton Live 12.3's stem separation so far. Much clearer results than RipX and Traktor's stem separation. A massively welcomed addition and they seem to have really nailed it! :)

Mark E Smith from The Fall once mouthed, “Fuck off” at me through a pub window. Fair play though, he was just sat enjoying a quiet drink as I was passing on the street, pointing at him and jumping up and down, excitedly telling my mate, “Look, there’s Mark E Smith!!”

You have been kidnapped and a character from the last tv show you watched is trying to rescue you. who is coming to save you...? My kidnappers don't strand a chance, to be fair.... #letterkenny

No actual appearance in the show this time, but lovely to see the many cheeky @stinkyox.bsky.social references in the new Black Mirror 'Plaything' episode. :)

Doom E1M3 on a pair of monome grids, by way of #maxmsp. The grid display you see here is laggy bc I’m sending the camera over wifi, but irl there’s no noticeable lag. Not sure why I’m getting those little flashes on the 256.

Helping out an old friend today who doesn’t do computers to sell some of his vinyl LPs on eBay. Among them was the picture disc of this (which I haven't heard since the mid '90s). Terrible movie as I recall but, oh my word, what a soundtrack! Absolute banger! www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5U2...

NAMM 2025: Korg Handy Traxx Play (video) : Korg have released a turntable with a ton of DJ features

Piano roll of “Laura Palmer’s Theme” from Twin Peaks. The visual representation of two mountain peaks in the music was a “cosmic” coincidence which shocked both Lynch and Badalamenti when they discovered it

I don't generally get upset at the death of a celebrity. David Lynch is one of the very few exceptions to this. Always loved his work and he'll be very sadly missed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Assume our next door neighbours know we're watching #TheTraitors cos no doubt they can hear me scream at the television every time someone says "I voted for yourself" at the Round Table

“George, I need a bathtub of raccoons.” “Wow, to create unique sound effects? You’re a genius.” “Yes… for… sound effects….”

The time me and my cat, Jeff (sadly no longer with us), made local TV news. :) Bear in mind this was 2005, when internet speeds were slow and live streaming was the stuff of a madman’s dreams, so having a live webcam back then was still a bit of a novelty! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcTX...

All this really proves is that, under perfect playback conditions, vinyl does indeed sound the same as a digital master and that the 'warmth' comes from the analogue gear through which it's played. Well... yeah! Isn't that what people basically mean anyway when they say that vinyl sounds 'warmer'?

#30DaySongChallenge Day 30 - A song that reminds you of yourself This whole 30 Day Song Challenge thing is a bit self-indulgent, but choosing ‘a song that reminds me of myself’ feels like borderline narcissism! Besides, I can’t think of any songs that remind me of me. Consider this challenge failed!

#30DaySongChallenge Day 29 - A song you remember from your childhood. Bert Kaempfert Orchestra - A Swingin' Safari youtu.be/_4isJuHzUlc?...

#30DaySongChallenge Day 27 - A song that breaks your heart. Heartbreak is not a thing to be taken lightly. No song, however sad, can compare to, say, the death of a loved one. There is therefore no song that breaks my heart. Skipping this one....

#30DaySongChallenge Day 26 - A song that makes you want to fall in love. Kid Koala - Moon River (routine) youtu.be/fjFi4MHO_go?...

#sgtpepper2024 v4

#30DaySongChallenge Day 22 - A song that moves you forward. Erm, yeah... I'm not really sure what this means so I'm replacing it with 'a song by the band you've seen play live the most often'... Half Man Half Biscuit - Restless Legs www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E5i...

#30DaySongChallenge Day 21 - A song you like with a person's name in the title. The Exploited - Maggie www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mRB...

#30DaySongChallenge Day 20 - A song that has many meanings to you. I can't really think of any song that has a particular 'meaning' to me, let alone several. So here's some Clown Core instead... www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR_r...

Im sorry but there’s a new standard now if we are talking about acting range.

a special shoutout to everyone who "works with computers" and therefore is required to fix the electronics of their entire extended family over the holidays
