09: settling (catching up)

live drums into loop, cranked tempo down until it was so slow it glitched the machines, then same with the matriarch. I'm liking exploring the boundaries of the machines

#looptober

08: the gourd below

live drums (my first time recording them!) run into loop pedal, matriarch over top. notes by @jim !

#looptober

07: stuck pig

just my PO-24 and me learning how to live play

#looptober

06: polyphon

PO-28 and matriarch. once again accidentally deleted the track I was working on 😞 missed yesterday, gonna catch up this weekend

#looptober

05: wild nuggies

honestly this was just two of the pre-loaded tracks off my pocket operators (PO-28 robot as main, PO-24 office synced) with a wailing lead because the robot po rules

I'm trying to learn how to use my matriarch as the clock for the POs but so far no dice. anybody?

ok time for dinner with friend byeee

#looptober (repost! sorry! I keep forgetting to add the hashtaggy)

04: against machine wishes

this is my moog matriarch recorded into loop pedal at ~130bpm then slowed down to a point where my loop station started yelling "Tempo Too Slow!" and freaking out. sorry, robot, I love it

I heard this BIPPP compilation I've loved for along time (and often find myself ripping off) on WFMU today so the lead is kind of a mishmash of tracks on that (Touche pas mon sexe by Comix & Contagion by A Trois Dans Les WC) https://shop.bornbadrecords.net/album/bippp-french-synth-wave-1979-85

03: piglet as an extra in the crow

idk I love the late 90s/early 2000s industrial-club-but-on-cable-tv vibe

drum track on PO-24 run through phaser effects in my loop station, with multiple tracks from matriarch (triangle wave and stereo delay, mostly)

excited to hear how terrible this compresses on the hotline (best with headphones here)

#looptober

02: piglet is a dog

this is just my PO-24 with vocals run through a lo-fi filter over top. my theme for this looptober might be piglet 🤷

01: silver piglets of this room

(or: I had a different melodic loop earlier today and accidentally erased it because I'm learning my loop station, and then got back home after a long day and brain only came out noise)

#looptober 01

it’s decorative corn season, motherfuckers

I appreciate the sentiment but … feel like this is just not the metaphor, scott

made these prints of my cutie niblings to give to fam for mothers day

kodak t-max 400 on ilford rc multigrade satin, developed and printed at the harvey milk community photo center in sf (my fave)

prints I worked on in the darkroom last night. I’m happy with them! worked on getting better with developing split contrasts and dodging.

at this point I’m mainly just picking photos with a new tricky bit each time to see how I can improve my printmaking

pics part 2. excited to make prints from these. film developed at the harvey milk photo center in sf, my second roll ever

developed a new roll! still don't have photo paper so here are some phone photos of inverted negatives

body as impedance

does anyone know what this plant is? it’s a succulent of some type, I grabbed a small bit from a neighbor’s house, this was draped over their garage door

I've been writing and running a little Rails forum for about a month now for some friends!

I think I still have a little bit to go for a 1.0 for the software (mainly pagination, our forum is too small to require it yet) but think it's in a place where I can recommend it to others if you're interested in shaping development.

if you're interested in running a little forum for your friends or an existing community, check it out (and let me know so I start versioning!): https://github.com/hartsick/ruBB
