Couldn’t be out much today because of the Canadian wild-fire smoke hitting us in #newengland It was intense for a bit, hopefully clearing soon so I can go out and work, and not get massive headaches! #canada #wildfire #smoke #

Yellow sky with dark trees on the bottom of picture. Yellowish smoke infesting the air today, giving the light a weird yellow filter hue. It just felt weird.

I always start streams with an AUDIO TEST, and this bit of distortion from the guitar + amp and a very cool pedal from @eaezone.bsky.social made me quite happy...must do more of this yummy distortion... #twitch #guitar #suprodelta10 #electronicaudioexperiments #audiotest #distortion #prismaticwall

I sit outside as the sun goes down and notice the profound lack of insect noises. No tree frogs, bird, or insect noises. Just stupid human-machine-fart noise pollution. Fuck.

Screenshot from last night's performance. Fun group of folks, I was pretty preoccupied with playing, and couldn't interact with chat as much as I like. It was a WILD horse ride, that almost threw me off a few times, but I held on! #twitch #stream #techno #electronicmusic #musicsky #gsglive #gsgclub

Today, slightly different angles. The OCD comes and goes with me. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #coffee #ocd #order #alignment #ritual #newengland

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jul 9

Pouring coffee: I just can’t help myself. I need proper angles and alignment…at times (most times I’m able to mentally override it…but not all). #coffee #frenchpress #ocd #newengland #order

Properly aligned coffee French press on the right, long small spoon in the middle with a little milk and coffee in it, on the left is a white coffee mug with a mesh screen and some coffee in the mug…waiting. All of this on a sideways rectangular paper napkin on a black granite surface. One can see hints of other items and appliances on the top of the photo.

Same as first pic, but from above. You can see the reflection of my meaty hands holding the phone to take the picture in the curved metal lid of the French press

Same as first pic, but a lower angle with the top of the French press cut off. Various kitchen items in the background…

I’ll be playing in the GSG CLUB this coming Friday night at 11:30PM-1AM EDT NYC. If you like industrial dance-influenced darkness…come and darken with me. Hehh Watch it either on www.twitch.tv/effin_izzy Or GSG.live #twitch #techno #dark #industrialmusic #gsgclub

Ziggy, the white cat with different colored eyes sitting very comfortably on a table, expecting you to listen and partake in the stream. He does not understand why you would not do this.

In performance during a GSG CLUB fest. Chat text on the left, partial covering me as I reach to turn a filter knoc on a matrixbrute with other synths on top of it. My skin is red.

Black and white photo of me wearing a black shirt with big black framed glasses, smiling slightly with mustache and a goatee, wrinkly and old as Gandalf the White…

Big storms last night here in CT. Lost a tree (me and my Much Better Half cleared it in the middle of the night. Now everything hurts😅🤨😶

Oh OOPSIES, at night- image of a dogwood tree lying accross a road after an intense storm hit. It missed crushing a car by inches

And <<<poof>>> the tree is out of the street (warning/caution tape accross the street is still there)

Well, yep, it’s BandCamp Friyay! Please consider supporting your favorite musicians. Even a tiny bit means so much to us. Beware of heads popping up… unless it’s Tod #bcfriday #bandcamp #bandcampfriday #musicsky #twitch #streamer #musician #electronicmusic #classicalmusic #electroacoustic

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jun 30

Hm…might want to rethink…

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jun 28

Going live on Twitch for some more records! Join me listening to a very wide variety of music. www.twitch.tv/effin_relkeds

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jun 27

Brilliant Presonus… @presonus.bsky.social Right before I’m about to use the board for a live stream. So awesome. 👏 [sarcasm] #update #software #firmware #hardware #presonus

The screen on my SL 32 studio live board showing that the firmware update has had an unknown error. Awesome. Let me go and do a fucking happy dance.

The universal control software that is supposedly updating my board, showing that the update failed, yet it says update complete. And it shows the new firmware. What is going on presonas!? Seriously. Not cool.

How to enjoy a DRINKY, a very nice Japanese Rice Whiskey [from my last Rekked stream, lol] VIEW INSTRUCTION EXAMPLE BELOW: #twitch #twichstream #enjoy #life #ricewhiskey

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jun 23

Doing a REKKEDS streams right now for the next few hours. Completely eclectic records from various boxes yet unheard! Come hang and listen with me!

My startup screen for my stream, which has a picture of my cat Ziggy, staring at you, the Max cell tape guy being blown away, but facing upright in a sea of red with the text effing_records starting soon

A picture of me signing myself with dark sunglasses, a gray beard and a shirt that says Piano guy sitting outside against the concrete wall

It seems my body is happiest when I’m sitting quietly in my yard listening to/watching birds and animals as the sun is starting to go down. The angle/color of the light on the trees, the winds changing, psithurism… just saw a beautiful Huron fly over, the cute chipmunk hanging out near me: all yes.

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jun 13

OMGGGG this was so good! A bit spicy for me, but I still loves it! Sausage freshly made by Laszló at the Hungarian Meat Emporium in Bridgeport/Fairfield CT USA. #sausage #hungarian #andouiile #glutenfree #garlicrice #beets #horseradish #newengland

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jun 13

We got a special cookbook, which has lots of good recipes for using einkorn. Supposedly einkcorn is quite tolerable for those who have gluten sensitivities. Plus, I made a trip to the “Hungarian Meat Emporium” in Bridgeport CT. #einkorn #hungarian #kolbasz #newengland

A picture of a cookbook for einkorn:

EINKORN
RECIPES FOR NATURE'S ORIGINAL WHEAT
CARLA BARTOLUCCI
FOUNDER OF JOVIAL FOODS AND BIONATURA
Photographs by Clay McLachlaps

A picture of some Hungarian smoked meats (in my fridge) that I bought at the Hungarian Meat Emporium in Bridgeport Connecticut. Laszlo knows how to do it right, and it’s gluten-free, and it is super delicious. I have to say it really does feel like home.

Last night’s sunset was sure purrty #sunset #newengland #connecticut

A sunset pic with an incredible contrast of colors. The sky is a brilliant light-blue/teal color. The clouds are quite orange and glowing, on the bottom of this picture are the tops of the trees, in black.

Same as the previous picture, except there is less sky and more clouds and contrast in the clouds, with a more gentle glow of orange

As the sunset progresses, more clouds move in, with less sky exposed, having a deeper pinkish, orange hue, with darker moments

A close-up of the end of the sunset, with clouds now more pink with some purple tones

It’s really hot today. Staying inside. I guess I’ll practice piano, putter around the studio working on things, then play some effin_rekkeds on stream later. Why not…? Ziggy is cool with it.

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jun 8

Ziggy: Every meal, he sits next to me at the table and taps for his crunchies. 🥹🥹🥹 #cat #feedingtime #dinnertable #kawaii

Tuning now. The piano survived all the open windows and temperature changes during the Mousepocalypse. It wasn’t as awful as I thought it would be… This is good news! #piano #tuning #pianotuning #musicsky

You see the top inner part of the grand piano with all of its tuning pins, some felt strips that are isolating the center strings (on the group of three strings), and a tuning wrench, as well as some other gizmos, and you see some music on the music stand in the distance. It’s by Debussy called “Reverie”.

I hate lawns. They serve no purpose. You can’t eat them, it’s not useful for nature. Yet, I have an unhealthy OCD-need/obsession to mow my lawn and make it look “right” [🤷🏼‍♂️🤣🤔😬]. Details. It’s like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with me- they are fighting internally, constantly. Send help.

A picture of the lawn that I deeply hate with some other flowers poking up here and there, a rock garden, a lamp post, a wooden divider, sidewalk, and street with houses across the street

Same picture, but slightly to the left, showing some more detail details of the height of my OCD.

Ok it rlly is #caturday

Ziggy, the white cat with different colored eyes lounging on his favorite wooden chair, looking straight at the camera with one paw dangling down

Close-up of Ziggy and his beautiful eyes

Ziggy, the white cat being playful with one paw up on the chair arm-rest as he sticks his head through the armrest

Am streaming as effin_rekkeds NOW. One never know what kinds of random records are in the various boxes…could be fun, weird, intense, fascinating, boring, smelly, gorgeous or all of the above! Heh. www.twitch.tv/effin_rekkeds #records #vinyl #recordplayer #musicsky #eclectic #newengland

Oh OOPSIES. Nothing like getting an email saying your bank account balance is zero. Fun times, now we move on.

Even if my bank account is low, I am super rich with all the beauty around me. In this photo, we have a large amount of pink ladies blooming. They’re all very delicate and pink, that’s why they’re called pink ladies I’m assuming. To the left and lower are some more purple versions that are smaller.This is all in an area that’s very lush and green near a window.

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jun 4

I was gonna originally say “well, he’s dead.” 🤣🤷🏼‍♂️ I must admit, I loved doing these, a little too much .

effin_izzy@effinizzy· Jun 1

Everyday is #caturday - Ziggy has spoken.

Ziggy, the white cat sitting in a comfortable chair made of wood on a pad with his front right past stretched out elongated as he looks at you looking very relaxed

A cropped photo of Ziggy, the cat with his front right paw stretched out, looking extremely relaxed

The same photo craft even closer where it’s focusing on his face

Got another photo of Ziggy, the white cat with different colored eyes as he sits in a box with his tail hanging over the edge, looking up past the camera

Pink ladies, allium, and yellow yarrow growing on street level. ❤️ #flowers #latespring #newengland
