I just got back from a 3 week driving/camping trip in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and PEI. Saw one big plume of smoke from a forest fire in New Brunswick, and the skies were tinged red with smoke in NB, Quebec, and Ontario. The

I setup a VoIP.ms number with call extensions for the family and gave my kid a phone. They never use that phone because all the friends are on Messenger Kids. Our Uniden walkies get a lot more use. Calling into the shed, or kitchen to upsta

The SID chip is an analog semi-modular synth with digital control. The arpeggios unfortunately seem to be so heavily leaned on that it pretty much defines the chiptune sound, and those arpeggios could be played on lots of other systems, bu

Apparently dogs have a far higher flicker fusion threshold. So a light that might seem OK to you is like a disco stobe for your pooch. Also, if you take a photovoltaic cel and hook it up to an audio jack, you can turn the unseen flicker in

Not sure about that, but more like using Impulse Response techniques like in convolution reverb, to craft a short sound that reflects back given a burst of sound like a clap. For long sustained sounds using evenly space round rods can creat

I love corregated concrete! Those highly ordered early reflections can make a cool sound if you stand about a few feet away and clap your hands. I've wondered if it was possible to vary the bands to encode a designed sound in the refle

I use DistroKid to publish my music out to streaming services. It pushes out to a long list of streaming service, most that I've never heard of or use. Other musician friends seem to do similar and don't ever directly interact wit

We're trying a new thing in our house to curb the dopamine addiction. Screens allowed every 2nd day. So far it has been working well, and our kid always finds something creative to do on the screen free days.

I bought a 4TB external hard drive from a thrift shop and found it is loaded with a huge unorganized treasure trove of MP3s that stops maybe around 2008. The tags and file names are a bit of a mess (looks like bad character encoding for an

Anyone here doing rhythm work without sequencers? I've been noodling with a side project for a couple years trying to figure out how to replicate folk drumming patterns by adding LFOs together and doing beats at the zero crossing. My a
