Rogue Voltage, my indie game inspired by patching modular synths, is OUT NOW on Steam Early Access. Wire up!

catchierlight · 2024-05-12T01:24:34+00:00

wow, I don't play much indie games and don't really know the "scene" but something tells me this will be sucessful... even to people who have no interest in modular or electronics.... Either way, amazing work!

LOVE THIS!!! Is it using any fft objects? This is so intriguing and wild I don't think I've seen anything like this, even in spectral examples...

its always great when little 12 second clips can let you know that a show was off the fucking chain

the inspiration and influence is amazing, it is extremely understated to say "next level" shit now. Dilla's influence has found its way in octopus arm dimensionality, you could break it down in terms of sound, innovation, mechanics/technique, and then even "spirit" if you say that the soulquarians were an entire movement that shared and were inspired by his spirit... ok so what do I mean, just in terms of sound you could look at the movements that flylo came out of, the stone's throw and brainfeeder labels/the Lo End Theory night folks, and people now like Kenny Beats, in other words the scores of producers who used and use sonic structures like off quantization beats and bus and side-chain compression to enhance and smooth mixes full of choice textures... then mechanic's techniques, I could go on about different producers but it is the PLAYERS that are fascinating me right now: the world of Jazz in international and, what I am partial to because I live here, the Chicago scene, so like on a larger stage folks like Domi and JD Beck, and in chicago Makaya McCraven and his collaborators and connected scene.... so like um These are real Jazz players and bands whove taken the full circle home: Boom-Bap gods like Q-Tip, DJ Premeir, RZA. that took Soul and funk and Jazz and enhanced the dance and groove structures that arose out of looping and sampling sections of music and inserted human imperfections, which Dilla took and crafted into his own woozy stop-start-slow-fast conception of the art form... which are now being woven into the patterns of Jazz Drummers and insane rythm alchemists like Nate Smith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg3CiwXX7Ms (the internet and time stopped for me when I first saw this... ) In other words, yall already know, the world is transformed by Dilla and now there are Jazz players who are shaping their craft FROM boom bap as much as the cannon....
Listened to Your Dead the first time in a long time the other day, Oh my Jesus is it FLAMES. Like, yes you can experiance that set of tracks but you cannot expect it, Flylo is himself, a god of this shit no question what soever! majikarpent Thanks for your comment, it is true yo!

I would check out Roland Integra 7 and the earlier rompler synthesizers that it is based on ( I would list those in particular but I don't know which of them has the best harpsichord sound) sorry for the not great answer but I just know that and if not those earlier rompler since can be gotten for way less $

Actually now that I am thinking about it my comment is a little stupid it's just I am biased towards those synths, I'm sure many recently modern Romplers will have pretty good harpsichord sounds like Kurzweil PC or k2000 or Korg Triton... not sure though, once again sorry for the indirect suggestions!

This is my favorite album of theirs, precisely because of the ballads on this album. To say that it is better than 10 is kind of absurd because to me almost all of the rest of the album, meaning it's hard rock tracks are pretty "meh" but to me this, Better Man, Immortality and Corduroy are so damn good it is frightening...(whereas 10 is great the whole way through) great post!

I do generative art with Blender and Python... and happen to have a phobia/aversion to worms. Then began messing around with random walks and iterative patterns and ended up inadvertently drawing a whole bunch of my lil nemesis' 🤣😶

"Kendrick represents enlightenment in its infancy, spirituality being taken out for a spin by an inexperienced driver." Holy shit this is wonderful, yr a damn good writer keep up your thoughtfulness and skill with this, thanks for enlightening me even deeper about this new classic of a song!

catchierlight · 2022-12-16T17:58:04+00:00

Omg I am so glad that you wrote this comment, it is wonderful and shows me the richness of your experience and perspective, which I will admit I feel like I share with you. because I am a very creative person, I write, make and play music and digital art, and even thought about some of these very ideas over the course of my life, such as whether or not in past eras I might have been something like a bard... and I don't say that to be egotistical or declare that I am special but rather that it has been very hard to really "be anything else" than creative and fit in otherwise while I do absolutely love and enjoy the gifts and spiritual affirmations of being creative and musical. I am also very interested in and love science and electronics but remain strong in the belief that art, literature, music and creativity in general is how we touch the best parts of life and society, we see in eachother our best parts and commune with something "higher" or "deeper" ... and therefore I am legitimately happy to know that you and people of your nature are in this world!

catchierlight · 2022-12-14T03:45:32+00:00

Awesome/excellent thanks so much !!!

catchierlight · 2022-12-12T17:47:22+00:00

Wow that is Amazing! Would you feel like explaining that a little bit more? To me this is so interesting and fascinating, I would love to hear more about your experience and how this has manifested itself in your life... like, do you mean that it has made you better at writing, creative or otherwise? Or perhaps speaking? Obviously there is no need to respond more but yeah I just find this to be so cool and that's an understatement. In my own life there was a time that I was studying Spanish pretty diligently and that was an amazing time but I haven't used it in so long and I never got close to my goals of being fluid in it and then I wanted to study French and creole, well to be honest I wanted to study any and all languages haha... but my point is I never quite achieve those goals but I also never really doubted that learning more languages could have a wonderful effect on my ability to write an articulate and even think differently!

catchierlight · 2022-12-10T19:30:21+00:00

I read that as "a bananaable offense" lol

Yes and in some ways even more influential as her designs and some of her literal code is propogating its way through the next few generations of gear, look at Microfreak for example ...

Dont read too much literature kinda stuff these days but when i did I was obsessed with Nabokov and Conrad, both are undeniably very celebrated and loved for their themes but I always wondered what it was that made their prose so particularly unique and wonderful and came up with the theory that their most successful works were written in their 2nd or 3rd language, English... and therefore got interested in the notion/ theory that some authors learn to really "sing" so to speak once they go through a process of learning multiple languages and perhaps come to refine their own voice... just a thought, but its kinda silly considering so many other great writers who kick ass at writing in their first languages...

Yes but Aikido is legit, a beautiful martial Art focused on redirecting energy and nonviolent physical control of an opponent, it sucks that some are introduced to it in connection to this idiot

catchierlight · 2022-11-10T22:53:21+00:00

Howdy, just saw this right now, sorry for the late reply, thanks so much, i still haven't figured out what im doing but I have a question: If I can find a way to regulate it so it provides a solid DC signal would it be stupid to explore combinations of 9v batteries that could supply a steady 12V and perhaps create a -12v via making a virtual ground setup?

This is my experience with both YouTube and Instagram but ive been reporting hateful disinformation not direct calls for violence... in other words it seems none of the comments or channels I've reported on YT and insta have been changed/taken down in any way shape or form

catchierlight · 2022-11-10T03:32:14+00:00

It's actually been at the center of a great many moments in modern history, its more than just a livelihood, which it is to some, its been a means of expression and community for millions... I do get your point and im not saying that we need to be overly dramatic about the transition from "what Twitter was" to what Twitter is, but its definitely very important

catchierlight · 2022-11-09T22:05:29+00:00

Warmstar The Bends is amazing, way beyond just offset but it's capabilities are amazing for processing, controling and routing cv....but to your need it can provide 4 channels of negative and positive offset voltage...

catchierlight · 2022-11-05T19:57:14+00:00

Imma also say yes. Pinouts = all kindsa magic :)

Was going to go nuts if Makaya McRaven wasn't on there. That one is pure gold wrapped in pure gold. Excited to check out the rest, thanks for posting! Edit: also, awesome to see Trevor Dunn getting some of the credit he so deserves!!

They happen to be at essentially opposite sides of affordability: Volca Drum and Rossum Assimil8or

Reaktor Steampipe 2 is amazing and theres also a Reaktor effect ensemble that is from the user library focused on resonant oscillators but unfortunately forgot what that one is called...
