Revisiting playing guitar direct into the M8 as an external instrument, pretty fun and a lightweight set up for brainstorming/tinkering. Have gotten a lot more comfortable with the sampler, what a versatile tool. I think maybe next time I will just use the M8 to record/slice the guitar samples and ensure they sync up with everything else, but then bring them over into Reaper for more plugin option...

Dystopian Shitpost/Speedtrash. Based on the experiment in which they hooked up rats to a button which, wired to the brain, would flood them with dopamine when pushed. They'd disregard all other needs like food and keep pushing the button until collapse. Welcome to your pleasurable demise! Edit: Might be worth mentioning that this was done using only the Wavsynth engine on the M8. 2026 CC Attr...

Happy (just about) Fall :) 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Throwing everything at me all at once, after a last minute negotiation with my new landlord and these "Benefits". I start the move on Tuesday, of course immediately after that the stray dog we inherited right after we lost our Shepherd earlier this year. She tragically had a tumor rupture her spleen and she passed away on Friday. My only hope is all the love we showered on her in her las...

This week was particularly tough IRL, so it was an additional challenge to come up with something that would do justice to these classic, slunky Endojo vocals. I sent Endojo a message asking for some "rave vocals" with not much else instruction, and he sent over these smooth 100bpm lines. I decided to just go full speed and make the track 200bpm. I wasn't able to implement everythin...

I haven't touched anything but the M8 this year (almost). As rain has ruined our planned bike trip and we had to call it off and all of a sudden I had the whole Sunday to play with the neglected Analog 4. I have always postponed learning about the performance macros. What an idiot. Turns out the macros are key to having fun with the a4. Still a complete noob, but really dig how the A4 sounds....

Travelling for work this week so had to make it quick! Worked on this beat on the train with Renoise. First Renoise track of the year, I think. I wish I had developed it a bit more but I just had to get something done. 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

It's 23:00 and I'm done. How did this happen? Don't know, it just came together quite quickly. F minor, bass played completely live on the Exquis, two vocal takes. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Running tuned granular effects on bells again, love the little pitch jumps that adds as the sound decays. Got two extra layers out of playing with one bell sequence. 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

After a couple of false starts this week I gave up and decided to just have fun. Synth bass, lots of layers. Also, weasels! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

It's okay to chill.  Get to work when it's time, but sometimes that long 'stagnant' period you had where you felt like you were getting nothing done turns out to be the most important part of the process.  As long as you have a goal in your heart, I don't think it's possible for the human spirit to every truly waste time. All done on M8 - vox layered ON THE...

Hi! Today I ran 10 kms for a  running event organised in my town. I had race number 440. I loved to have this number. So I made a track in C. Still using SboomTchac (that is terribly sucking the CPU so I fell a bit ashamed to release it) and still fun to play with. Also, I was on Instagram for a pause, a I saw a guy that said adding voices to a track was a good idea to make it better, so I re...
