Toying with the idea of bringing a second laptop with me for a potential future gig solely for running a Supercollider patch that scrambles text, prints it to the console in big letters, screen pointed towards the audience.
Sinking Ships. Recorded in 2026. Plenty of function generators. Listen at: marchasselbalch.bandcamp.com/album/sinkin... Codes: kuf7-vdv5 um5d-gcgr v86p-uxrl fk3b-evcj l3vm-b8sy Cheers.
SpecMF. More Processing visualizer using today's studio harvest.
SpecMF. Visuals created using the Minim library for Processing alongside questionable numeric choices for rotation variables.
Sony ends the production of physical discs soonish. Two days ago I found this is in the "take if if you can use it"-space. No clue if it works - and the used marketplace prices for Gamecube accessories and games makes me want to just put it back where I found it.
Rotating firmly in my head this morning are DM remixes, especially the Dub In My Eyes mix of www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJR3... while I am contemplating all the lovely DM mixes out there.
I got a TC1280 rack delay for free recently. The MIDI input peaked my interest. Looking through the manual and it says "MIDI SYSEX documentation is available on request". Odd. MIDI implementation might be lifted from the TC2290, so will try to build a Max patch when I can to mangle the delay times.
DJ Total Phase Check. (This is for sale here in Denmark for 67 euros and no - I will definitely not consider buying it)

Renoise mini sketches medley from last month. Never thought I'd care for trackers, but this is very fun. Straight for the ZL.

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.
"Bitter Magic". In 4 parts. Listen and buy over at Bandcamp: marchasselbalch.bandcamp.com/album/bitter... Recorded at home in late March 2026.
This was once a recording of an EMS Putney. Source recorded at the Institute of Sonology in 2020 or so. Mangled in Supercollider.
One of my favourite Drumm droners. Maybe tied with The Sea Wins. I wonder if the phone has enough Drumm droners on it.

GIDDY WITH SLUMBER. Recorded in the meantime in February 2026. 1. Smouldering Giddiness 08:23 2. Dense Giddiness 06:53 3. Slumbering Giddiness 14:44 Listen at: marchasselbalch.bandcamp.com/album/giddy-...
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.
