Do people who make stuff using VCV Rack have a patch or module setup that they use regularly or do you create one for each new project? #vcvrack #cardinal

My first day participating in #weekofpatching (day 2). I'm quite rusty so opted for something similar using vcv rack with the #monome grid sequencer, and an analog video synth for visuals. I filmed a whole 10-minute performance but I'm gonna have to edit and retroactively post about the process on my blog as I'm off to a gig! #vcvrack #cardinal #analog #videosynthesis

Last week I did the first live performance of my live coding + DJing project at Threading in Malmö. The project is inspired by The Belleville Three who would use drum machines to mix between tracks at parties in the 1980s. There were a few rough moments, like having two layers of 808s on a massive sound system provided an amount of bass, but I&#39;m overall really happy with how it all went. I sadly didn&#39;t record the performance but I&#39;ll be making some clips to share in th...

My laptop might be going through cpu failure. I&#39;m hoping that replacing the battery will help otherwise I&#39;m £3000 down 😠

Did a couple test prints for some tiny zines which I&#39;ll be printing and handing out at some upcoming Algoraves. @lown wrote an ace script for doing the imposition for a 16-page tiny zine from a single A4 paper https://raphaelkabo.com/blog/tiny-zines-script/ And there&#39;s a script for an eight-page slightly bigger zine here https://1klb.com/posts/2020/04/27/making-zines-with-pdfjam/ I think I&#39;ll do those eventually too.

back on my project of creating images from data. I think I&#39;ve finally cracked how to create nice repeating patterns 🙂 #creativecoding #patterns

Today I learnt why working with hardware synths is difficult. After spending an hour setting it up my recording had a high pitched whine
Post #886246
People who shoot overhead videos of them using their synths, what tripods are you using?

Peckham Digital shared a really nice video from their live coding Summer Camp in 2025. https://www.instagram.com/p/DWBtTL6DXAZ/ Features me and the other workshop leaders (inc @yaxu @synte) , and some of the students who have since gone on to perform regularly in and around London (inc @hellojoey ) . Really hope they get the funding to bring the programme back again this Summer. Also do my hands always move that much when I talk?! #livecoding #strudel #peckham #hydra

And now with added Grid! It&#39;s been an interesting few weeks making more ambient and textural music. Not sure how/if it&#39;ll fit into my usual style but it&#39;s fun nonetheless. #nornsshield #grid #volcafm

Did a better recording. For the zero people asking, the devices are a Norns shield, M8 tracker and a korg delay and reverb thingy. #nornsshield #m8tracker #korg

I&#39;m listening to the new Flying Lotus EP and it sounds chiptuney AF! Put it on while you read the following essay. I particularly love track 4, In the Forest (Day) https://flyinglotus.bandcamp.com/album/big-mama In the liner notes FlyLo writes that he wanted the EP to feel &quot;Like a fuckin&#39; computer gone awry. Like a machine that had just lost its mind.&quot; It got me thinking about how we return to the 80s/90s computer sounds and visuals when we need to convey that...

Legit just had a Reform candidate knock on my door. I told them in no uncertain terms that I not in the slightest bit interested in what he had to say.
