Ooo I've got a slightly tattered vinyl copy of this. Lovely album

Party lights and a dark Collective Arts beer is helping bring the vibe to this listening party

Listening Party — RPM Challenge

This month's listening party for the monthly version of #rpmchallenge (REM challenge) has just started! Always inspiring www.rpmchallenge.com/listeningparty

Thanks to everyone who checked out my music yesterday (whichever side-project). The proceeds from any purchases went right back into my cart, as I picked up some great stuff that I'm listening to now

Five Bandcamp acts in this week's Other People's Music for the final #BandcampFriday of 2025! Electro Goth, dub techno, sludge psych, dark post punk, and ambient guitar explorations in this week! Check 'em out!

It's definitely slow, if not totally unresponsive. Hopefully just a bunch of people active on Bandcamp Friday

Lord Plunder & The Sons of No One As the leader of the Sons of No One, Lord Plunder has probably been responsible for something horrible happening to you at some point. Give thanks that he is currently more taken with applying his iro...

And I can't forget Lord Plunder, for all your supervillain crooner needs. will Lord Plunder make a comeback in 2026? You better hope so: lordplunder.bandcamp.com

Patient Whales Ate The Sea, by Patient Whales 6 track album

If glitchy folk with lots of pedal textures is more your thing, my Patient Whales side-project has you covered (new track added yesterday!) patientwhales.bandcamp.com

Bay Mud Carving arrangements out of the noise.

It's #bandcampfriday, which means I'm obligated to tell you where to find my music. For ambient electronic, start here. Deal on the full discography (hopefully more to come in 2026): baymud.bandcamp.com

YouTube video by Bay Mud Rediscovering the Volca Keys: Ambient Glitch Jam with Onward

Went back-to-basics with a no-talking ambient jam this week, as I dusted off the (classic?) Volca Keys to pair it with the Onward for maximum madness. A fun pair!

The Mouse, by Patient Whales from the album Patient Whales Ate The Sea

In advance of Bandcamp Friday, I snuck another new quirky song on the (still growing) Patient Whales album (my folky side-project). This time from the point of view of the mouse that may or may not be living with us (lots of glitchy pedals, as usual):

#synthsky #modularsynth

A meme that shows a "smart guy with glasses" holding a device and saying "AI will make your music!". Below there is a photo of King Théoden from Lord of Rings laughing, with the caption reading "Me with 0 listeners: You have no power here!"

Saw this on a Synth Memes group and felt empowered

Final Call for 2025 submissions! Want to get covered in Other People's Music this year? List has just a few slots left! Submit now!

www.etherdiver.com/other-people...

(I specifically need FIRST TIME submitters. My repeat submissions list is plenty long; folks who have appeared see the value!)

Always a good source of new music and artists to check out

It's true. It's no wonder I ended up getting into synths eventually

YouTube video by Bay Mud L6max Sub-Mix: How to Use It as a Stereo Send

Bonus video this week, as I'm starting to deep dive into specific features of the Zoom L6max, starting with the new sub-mix output, which solves one of my bigger issues with the original L6: youtu.be/Zd2vIcXoJ1A

YouTube video by Bay Mud How I Made a Full Remix Using Only The Novation Circuit Rhythm

Brought out the Circuit Rhythm sampler to both fight GAS and make a full remix for a friend youtu.be/YAbGS0hz9e4 #electronicmusic #remix #circuitrhythm

Nice!

Could be interesting to see how you get to that point

Yeah, for sure. Love my Rhythm (got it on sale for a deep discount though)

Yeah, I try not to get sucked into it (Though when I started getting comments from people being annoyed by my moving hands I did 3d print a bunch of tiny doll hands)

Oh yeah, bots are a beats of their own, for sure. Thankfully most of the negative comments seem like intentional ragebait, so I don't worry too much

Some great points here. Should probably touch grass and re-evaluate my life. Ha

In other news, recently finished a remix of a friend's track entirely on my Circuit Rhythm, so stay tuned for more on that

Today someone said my video is a Loopop copy, which is at least someone I have watched before, but again, is no one allowed to do top-down gear videos? Time to start only showing the backs of gear and using my feet, I guess

Bay Mud Carving arrangements out of the noise.

Nice idea! I have a few wildly different projects on the go:

Electronic: baymud.bandcamp.com

Indie folks: patientwhales.bandcamp.com

Supervillain crooner: lordlunder.bandcamp.com

You're definitely giving me ideas! Ha

Yeah, for sure. In the right context I've done different angles (if it's more about me performing or something else than the desk, etc.), but it's usually most helpful just to show the gear. Funny thing was the channel they were accusing me of copying wasn't near the first to do it either

Someone just accused me of copying another channel because we both have top down views and only show our hands most of the time. I can't imagine that's a rare aesthetic, but people like to try to own everything, I guess
