The easiest DIY build I’ve ever done is giving me the most issues. I got an Audrey II kit on the b stock sale and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried everything and I’m sad now. Hopefully I can get it but I’ve now point to point wired it in the board and it still doesn’t work.

Ahh my notable one was a Befaco Sallen key filter I built and was never quite right. When I tried to feedback patch it during the Silent Confidant session it popped during recording the track and we had to restart. I still need to fix that module it’s around here somewhere.

Oh no….. what did you pop? One day I should tell you the story about how I tried to circuit bend Eurorack when I first started out…..

That moment when you’re watching Temptation Island with your wife (her choice) and you realize @kurtis-conner.bsky.social was on this season.

My Modified #trogotronic Antidodes. 2 antidotes with 10 turn potentiometer mod in 1 enclosure. I also brought up Pot legs to be cross patched via banana jacks. Added random resistors to 1 side to temper the signal to make patching work. Had to shave the PCB’s to fit and do some trace jumping.

A couple old interviews I did for a local blog fortheloveofnoise.com

Agreed

With different racks now on different sides of my desk, how could I send signals to my mixer rack? I figured I’d use long cables, but that would be a mess. Found black noise pipe kits for super cheap. 8 signals over Ethernet. Easy build, great price, perfect solution. Got 1u for mixer rack as well.

Got everything mounted again. Some final placement things but pretty much ready for sound making. Bottom empty spot is for the Audrey II when I get the euro power mod wired in and a header soldered.

Yeah I got this right after DivKids video because it was so cheap. Didn’t even look at the SN till right now lol

If you listen to FTV’s Memory lane the deep drones at the beginning was feedback from a Jomox T-Rackonizer. I sold it and missed it. I was able to get a Synthux Audrey II b stock from their surprise sale and I’m so stoked to have that expanded feedback exploration. Time to build it!

That’s kind of neat. #instruo #lowserialnumber #eurorack

I have spent all the time since I have been in music trying to #circuitbend or modify #trogotronic gear in any way. The only successful way I have found to change them, is to swap potentiometers for 10 turn pots. It brings them to levels of insanity no one thought possible- direct quote from W.T.

The Mirror (2018 original), by Fathom The Void 9 track album

After a lot of thinking and time away. My project Fathom The Void is coming to an end. Full statement in album description. This is the original go at our album The Mirror #conceptualart #bandcamp #eurorackmusic #harshnoise

Thank you! Just waiting for the notification that perfect circuit got it and sent it. I also got some Mn knobs to put on the non NM modules for the aesthetic.

Always cool to find a rarity. Especially one I’ve been hunting for for quite a while. #eurorack #subconsciouscommunicaton #voicetail

Anxiously awaiting the @makenoisemusic.bsky.social MultiMod to finish this out and for the Make Noise Knobs from Detroit Modular to arrive to make the non Make noise stuff fit the top. #makenoise #system #eurorack #erd #esotericplayground #afterlateraudio #adventurecase

Almost there. Pretty close to making a @makenoisemusic.bsky.social system for the top half. Obviously there is a Forge TME VHIKK X in there for lots of fun. Pre ordered a MultiMod and got a Wrong sound stage 2 for mixing both halves. Also got a Zorx 1u mult to put in place of the CV bus fiasco.

Yeah it’s insane. It’s like an onion article. What’s the onion going to do now? I satire just going to be normal headlines? It’s absolutely absurd the curve balls that have been thrown.

When you make a plan and find out that the @makenoisemusic.bsky.social #cvbus is pulp logic. 😭

I really like that. Nice work. Look forward to more.

Send some my way

#afterlateraudio Adventure Case with top expander. This is the best #eurorack metal case I’ve seen. A couple minor things but it’s built like a tank and the included feet make me happy. Super affordable for the setup. Excited to start messing around with it.

Combined my ERD system and my Alters to create an esoteric sandbox into 1/2 o the Afterlater Audio adventure case. Doing the conversion for the lid to make something else. #eurorack #modularsynth #esoteric #experimentalmusic

New place. New things hopefully. 2025 has been a ride. I got married way before it was supposed to happen. My now wife had a stroke right before the year and now I’m thinking about making music. I might have to bring back an old project for this one.

Ayyyeeee
