The Novation Peak has excellent hands on controls - but I need more weirdness so I picked up the Sigabort editor and yeah - weirdness easily achieved!

I spent way too long trying to suffer through building a simple online store using JS frameworks. Nuxt is pretty good.
None of it felt right. Iโve gone back to Rails and building a delightfully old school site instead, much quicker too.
Bring back rรถck dรถts.

AI helped me port over the reverb from Mutable Instruments Clouds, and now it's sounding real nice. Will sound even better once I tweak a few things, but I'm happy with it now.

Oops.
Now live on Twitch, with some noise and drones and crunchy bits.

Ian McKellen's spoken-word bit of Invisible Light (Scissor Sisters, Glastonbury) ok all the things, right, but also REALLY USEFUL in teaching about what many think of as 'Shakespearean' delivery (really a very specific elocution training path) and popular music.

@seachael.bsky.social in case youโre interested in seeing what the setup looked like tonight.
05.06.2025 05:50 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Travel rig setup from tonightโs stream (of which Iโve been a bad streamer and not posting about it here!)
Itโs been a very versatile setup lately.
I've done so much music streaming lately. I now want to go back to recordings and Ableton projects, and cut together some more appropriate length tracks out of the 1-2 hour wanderings.
Work is never over.
There's a few preset packs on there. Clearly not the most optimal place to look for them, but Itch is a known platform at least. I believe @jjbbllkk.bsky.social puts sample packs up there too.
