Completely fair. Code for work, code for music. I may be broken :)

VCV is on my list of things to get deeper on. I also want to work out using it with Supercollider for infinite power.

Dig it! I love how "drippy" the pitch of the lead is. Lots of character.

Thanks! I was going for a little bit of a breaks made by someone who doesn't understand breaks vibe :)

Please have a look, follow some or all of them, and share this pack here and in other places!

Listen. I know that I am going to spend a lot of time sharing things I've created so I will try to balance it out by posting some pictures of my cute puppy. Fair?

Looking for a new home here. Never got on with mastodon or threads. This one seems better so far. Also looking to get back to a constant state of creation. I've been out of the loop a while

Great book. Read it a few months back and found it endlessly inspiring.
