📣Audiophile PSA📣 If you have some nice lossless audio and pair of headphones you can crank the bitrate and frequency response waaay up in windows settings. I also found I was getting weird stereo imaging when changing volume recently, and I think turning off audio enhancements in here has fixed it.

Just discovered the graph heatmap plugin for obsidian. I've been searching for something that could do exactly this for a long time. Its beautiful. Want to make your thoughts look like a virus, a volcano, synapses flickering like the northern lights? community.obsidian.md/plugins/grap... #obsidian

Possibly the most adorable thing on the planet is when I sneeze loudly and then the cat comes over and squeaks a lot to reassure me.

Discovered that someone has created a website and #Obsidian vault for Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language, and its incredible. the site patternlanguage.cc the markdown github.com/zenodotus280...

Such a relief to know that fashion marketing and military service are valid options if the games industry ever gets in trouble..

Good as new, in fact, probably better.

Caught my headphone cable whilst raising the desk one too many times. Going to have to find out how difficult the repair is.

Some music sampler generator progress in #substanceDesigner. Lots of things parameterised and grouped, lots of little bugs and quirks to iron out. Need more dial and button types, and ways to target specific sub module sizes to place them neatly. #gameArt

This is a crazy day for new musical releases, wow. For IN VERSES I've been waiting 13 years.

Working on a #SubstanceDesigner graph for some cursed music hardware.

Trying the old Meshuggah "force it to loop after 4 bars" trick. #dawless #noiseCrimes

Happy new year distortion perverts. #dawless #elektron #fxpedal

Trying to get something interesting out of a glitch/freeze pedal. You have to leave a lot of space for it not to clutter things that I've probably already made too busy. #modelSamples #elektron #chaseBliss #onward #sampler #dawless

Yotei continues to bewitch

Looking forward to this, I've heard good things.

More groove. Experimented with splitting the saturated and distorted FX chains completely so that you can actually hear the cymbals, and not just noise. #sampler #modelsamples #elektron #fxpedals #dawless

Pretty interesting attending the #BAFTA panel on climate storytelling last night (thanks to the person whose ticket I stole). A certain level of attendees showing off their green credentials, but also some thoughtful responses.

Something groovy to celebrate the fact there's new NIN in the world. Managed not to fuck up the mix too much this time, and dial in the bit crushing and distortion with slightly more finesse than previous attempts. #dawless #sampler #fxpedals #angrySynth

Something a bit more organic this evening, using some lovely medieval instrument samples. #dawless #modelSamples #sampler #fxPedals

Realised that my hundreds of tabs and tab stacks was only necessary due to a lack note keeping. Now that I'm rekindling my love affair with #Obsidian I have a nice clean browser, and all these lovely new notes.

Jess! ❤️ Our two Maine Coons also turned 2 this year.

Had the horrific realisation that some of my recordings were in mono, so to make amends here's an uncomfortably wide stereo mix of a new genre I'm calling Ecological Djent Music. Time to put the breakdown in climate breakdown. 🤘🏻🌍🔥🤖 #dawless #sampler #fxPedals

Doing something a bit more ambient (or as close as I can get whilst still using my distortion pedals🤡). Was initially inspired by a sample of an old HDD booting up, so crunchy, so whirry. 💾 #dawless #sampler #modelSamples #pedals

Put this together in a couple of hours last night, really satisfying dialling in the specific frequencies and levels that trigger the sweetspots of each distortion pedal. Backed up the bass with a kick drum this time, to see what that was like. #dawless #modelSamples

First attempt at pickling, as I attempt to deal with this year's allotment cucumber surplus.

Prog Metal really hitting it's stride.

Was really struggling to get this idea to work, still kind of rough, but has some moments. Using the clean output more to compress down the effects (there's probably a more correct way of saying that). Also having to find smarter ways to fit all these outputs into my simple mixer. #dawless #sampler

Here's a slower, swingier version of the same beat.

Pressed my old marshall amp into action again. Lots of filtering, bit crushing, and compression going on across 3 FX chains. Also enjoying the way the notes on the arpeggio drop in and out randomly, feels kind of groovy, might even sound good with some swing? #dawless #soundDesign #modelSamples
