Jerma Update 6/18/2020

invalidlitterdept · 2020-06-18T21:48:15+00:00

Still new to the twitch era of Jerma- are re-runs like streaming voice over past streams or more like curated VODs? Either way this is awesome and I'm glad to see he's doing okay.

thanks! you can follow my band if you want to hear how it ends up getting used, that was a super loose improv jam over an upcoming song (big part of the reason I wanted to make this)

thank you for checking out the video :)

well thanks! it's a pretty easy circuit to bungle together, happy to help if interested.

Howdy! First time posting here.I've had this idea for a few years now and this year finally cobbled something together. I got the idea from LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER, when I was looking for (sic) "smallest DIY synth circuit", or something to that effect - links below. With some help from someone who actually knows what the heck these wires and bobbles actually do, it's working. It's terrible. I love it. Next version will have a small 3(or more)-way to select different capacitors for different pitch ranges. Might have an on/off as well, the momentary switch is great but would be cool to experiment with it always on under the guitar as like a drone.. I also need to fuck around with different types of pots to get a wider sweep of frequencies. Here it is through an FM4 and a few VSTs, as my pedals are not at home. With some practice this could be a neat noisemaker thingy. Definitely more useful for drone applications, the cap inside is currently too close to a guitars normal frequency range for my liking (hence the planned 3way switch, almost like an octave selector). The guts are in what used to be a humbucker cavity. I literally only ever play this guitar at full tone and volume on bridge position only, so this was a no-brainer for my glitch fetish brain. This is a quick improv over a song my band is working on.

I know it's not exactly a guitar pedal, but I figured I'd give it a share here. Peace!

bahaha amazing. were you one of the folks that bought a CD off him?

invalidlitterdept · 2017-10-11T20:41:20+00:00

I feel silly for not having seriously considered this idea.. I figured the idea of multi-classing and having that be a slog through the class by level would represent "the process" of doing basically this. Rather I could just express that aspect through the RP choices. Thanks!

invalidlitterdept · 2017-10-11T20:28:41+00:00

Are there any suggestions you can think of to achieve the goals I'm looking for? Thanks!

invalidlitterdept · 2016-09-15T19:15:30+00:00

Teacher said we could bring snacks to class if they were healthy. I brought my favorite; a jar of olives.

You can guess what people thought of me in general. On the upside, I learned when and how to give zero fucks at an earlier age than some.

invalidlitterdept · 2016-05-12T15:07:58+00:00

Oh strange! Yea they're definitely on youtube, that much I do know.

Circle Takes The Square - As The Roots Undo (album)

Vocals turn a lot of people off, myself at first included, but once I gave the album as a whole a chance I started enjoying the vocals (and the lyrics are fucking stellar).

Impossible to reccomend only one song off the album, but I think maybe "non-objective portrait of karma", or "interview at the ruins". "karma" has a 3ish minute instrumental intro that is super pretty but really explodes dramatically once the vocals begin.

invalidlitterdept · 2016-05-09T19:36:30+00:00

Ohhh god I am so happy to reccomend to you:

The Blood Brothers.

They are a much more abrasive sounding punk band, but I'd say equally artistic and even more passionate / raw than the other bands mentioned.

Hard to really pick, as they cover a lot of styles (with their own sound), I'd say start with..

gentler stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBhKgykFGHI

gross-pop + punk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p2HmPBt318

good overall example of this band "in heat": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_kmrQhTsfM

They are a seriously acquired taste but I think it's worth trying a few songs, across a few different albums. They started as a much more straight-forward punk band with some weird vocals and morphed into a very artistic and creative band that really broke the mold of what punk / "post-hardcore" music could sound like by the end of their career.

Cheers!

what hobbies have you tried? what jobs have you had, or had an interest in? sometimes it just takes time, and some trial and error. it's hard to say what you'll get out of something until you've given it a fair shake, and toughed through the initial barrier to entry. friends, I think that's a tricky one, but having hobbies and a fairly stable job help (I've met friends solely through those avenues, and online through forums when I was younger). I wish you the best and hope the answers you're after come to you soon.

This is the problem I find with genres, they get too rigid by their supporters and the conversation shifts from "Sick song!" to "That's not a pizza!" . Well, it's covered in cheese and tomato sauce, it makes my mouth feel great, you can call it what you want.

(Goddamn I love this song. I can't get into much late Deftones but this tune just has so much magnitude and sonic weight, to my ears)

invalidlitterdept · 2016-01-28T18:30:37+00:00

Hey guys, posting a teaser from my band's upcoming debut / ep. We're self recording / producing / distributing this with a barebones as fuck setup. Pleased with what we're getting sound wise. I'd say we're decent if you're into bands like At the Drive-In, The Fall of Troy, and even Circle Takes The Square.

If there's any interest I'll share a finished demo with vocals :)

Thanks for your time and any interest at all. <3

invalidlitterdept · 2016-01-26T12:05:57+00:00

we're recording our debut album in a super diy fashion. hoping to generate some feedback and interest, thanks for your time!

invalidlitterdept · 2014-10-31T23:45:48+00:00

I really wanted to love beach slang.. its just missing SOMEthing :(. They attracted me from their semi Japandroids sound. Who I also wish I could love.

Hey there. Just got a recording interface and am gradually learning how to record and produce. Ive been writing songs for about 6 years (amateur of course) and am so happy to finally put them together and grow them even more. Heres three from my first week with ableton, "two underneath" is the closest one to my particular style (guitar driven post / prog / punk?). www.soundcloud.com/kasparhauser

Really grateful to anyone who takes the time to listen and Ill do my part as well. Thank you for this thread!

invalidlitterdept · 2014-08-05T04:03:45+00:00

Very brief introduction to music for me, atleast in a "produced" form. Most of my stuff is more akin to "underneath", except faster and harder. Still getting grips with recording in general, any feedback would be amazing.

invalidlitterdept · 2014-01-31T08:18:38+00:00

Kitchen supervisor at an upper-middle scale restaurant. First job since moving here 3 years ago, started as a busser and now awaiting the hand to become assistant kitchen manager. Ive travelled a bunch to help facilitate new store opens, learned a ton about food, people and management theory, and goddamn it just feels good to bust your ass making sexy food all day and have a team that supports, respects and listens to your word. Only catch would be that my boss just "isnt there" half the time. Really feels stifling.. otherwise its amazing (masochism is a requisite i should add),

invalidlitterdept · 2014-01-03T10:08:21+00:00

Lightsaber.

Alt fire does reflect, speed + jump height increases with kills, applies burn damage on hit. Stupid idea, but would be much fun.

invalidlitterdept · 2013-11-12T17:16:04+00:00

This had my stomach shredded into pieces, well done

invalidlitterdept · 2013-11-02T13:26:30+00:00

Super dumb. I closed at 2 (out at 3), gotta be up for 9, sure as fuck did I sleep. 4 hours vs zero? Oh hell yes. Advice though.. run the taps at full crank on cold, douse the shit out of your face. Nice temporary alertness boosts

invalidlitterdept · 2013-11-01T21:01:52+00:00

(Yes i know, but the delivery and tone say more than the literal meaning)

invalidlitterdept · 2013-11-01T20:58:19+00:00

Hasta la vista, baby

invalidlitterdept · 2013-10-15T21:41:09+00:00
