I have no mouth and I must scream! The second single from the forthcoming "Specimens of Fancy Turning" is out now. Featuring the ever amazing Freddie KC on vocals! This #industrial #music takes inspiration from Harlan Ellison's story and video game warning of the dangers of #AI.

There are very few technological advancements in the last few years that i've enjoyed more than hobbyists and small electronics makers taking the nightmare black art that is SCSI, and turning it into an easy plug in SD card and USB storage thing, just because they could. My 90s samplers thank you!😉

If, like me, you are a nerd who likes retro computers AND drum and bass... Check out @magicalsynth.bsky.social great interview with Aphrodite. Using Amigas well into the 21st century. pod.sonicstate.com/@sonicretroc...

pod.sonicstate.comDJ Aphrodite aka Gavin KingWelcome to Sonic RETROCAST Episode 5. Paulee Bow talks to Gavin King aka DJ Aphrodite , the legendary British jungle and Drum & Bass pioneer. In his early work with Urban Shakedown, he & collaborator Micky Finn pioneered the use of two hand synchronised(!) Amiga 500 computers - to create fully realised songs using 8-channels of sound.

It has dual outputs. One for the regular pickups and a second set for the piezo pickups. You can get amazing phasing and comb filtering playing through two amps at the same time!

My interest in any piece of music gear is usually inversely proportional to the number of embargoed reviews that drop at the same time about it.

I've started working on a video #synth project. It now renders Webcam, Game Of Life, Moire Patterns, Geometric Shapes, Noise/Snow, Solid Colour, Strobe and Video! Well - nearly video. I need to implement controls - but I've been banging my head on getting accelerated video for nearly two weeks.
