It may be unconventional, but this short album is probably the truest expression of myself so far. It means a lot to me, and I hope you can find a part or few to connect with. Thank you :)
🌸 Floral Sample Toolkit is underway, and I'm almost at 10 algorithms in there. Will be using this in my next track, and will make the repo public at the same time!
As you can see, the "Trace Console" logs each step you take, and then exports that along with the final WAV. That way you can do destructive editing, but still share the steps in an open-source sense 😀
Hey everyone, I’ve just updated the MechSounds sample pack to include my additions since December last year. I haven’t released a new track with those additions yet (getting back into the swing of things after some significant career changes – more on that another time), but I figured it was worth sharing the updated version in the meantime.
In case you haven’t explored the MechSounds pack yet, I synthesized all samples myself using Open Source tools as it means that I’ve been able to include the project files for those samples too. If you hear something you really like, you can download the software for free and study exactly how it was made. Enjoy!
I am going to start organizing regular small picnics in my own circles, and I invite you to do the same. Now is an important time to cultivate resilient communities, and it doesn't have to be hard!
Just share a photo from your picnic to your preferred socials, tag #smallpicnicnetwork, and we'll keep reminding each other :)
Along with the first minimal_worlds, this is a world of Game Boy music ready to be explored. As always, all tracks are Public Domain + project files are available from the individual track pages on my website.
So I was researching for an AI synth idea: text-to-preset, as you can then change the parameters and use it as a great learning tool.
Then I realized that existing synths, which already have plenty of presets and a robust search, pretty much have the same functionality - and are waaay more efficient.

Always remembering to ask "can this tool/workflow be made without including AI?"

In case you haven't seen, it's the third Open Source Week at the United Nations!
You catch the livestreams when they broadcast, or watch the recordings through the same links:
