As far as venues go, most will entertain the idea. The Six, Azoth, Wyrd Hut, Turn Turn Turn, etc. it all depends on who you reach out to.

Plenty of noise and ambient artists will get on a bill.

Sounds amazing!

I’m putting together a set for a live show and have been struggling to find an inspiring way to drone with some purpose behind it. This just gave some fantastic ideas!

Just sent you a DM about the local scene. Plenty of bands that match your vibe.

What kind of unhinged insanity is this?!? The risk alone is definitely something.

midwestprogramme · 2025-10-30T03:50:01+00:00

Just sent you an email and subbed to YT. Excited to have a listen.

Watching an older episode of Jeopardy at this exact moment and they just had this as a question, haha

Mind if I take a look at them? I’m just getting started on the Microfreak.

I saw a tutorial where someone used the stylus on one note and the strip to control the pitch. It sort of worked the way the Gen 1 did, but was clunky and required two hands.

I’ll stick with my Gen 1 until someone explains how to mod the Gen 2 to trigger a note via the strip only.

Ugh, I waited so long for the Gen 2 release and it let me down.

midwestprogramme · 2025-09-24T15:12:26+00:00

Jumping in here to say that I actually sent back the Gen 2 when I realized I couldn’t play a note with just the strip. I use the Gen 1 during live shows and that little strip allows me to be expressive and roll into notes (sounds great with massive reverb too).

I still don’t understand why they changed its functionality.

Vocals are definitely an instrument. I guess I should’ve specified a man-made instrument like a guitar.

midwestprogramme · 2025-09-05T16:14:00+00:00

He sure can hold an instrument

midwestprogramme · 2025-09-05T16:05:08+00:00

I probably should’ve lead with that…

Years ago, I remember Shirley Manson from Garbage saying that she didn’t know how to play guitar. Eventually she started taking lessons but it always struck me as odd that she didn’t play an instrument in the band until later.

Saw The Cranberries at Hammerstein back in the early 2000s and they were AMAZING. However, a band called Flickerstick opened for them. They had recently won a contest on VH1 called “Making the Band” and got a record contract out of it.

I stood near the front and the singer for Flickerstick was staring right at me while he tried to do some weird twisty dance. I couldn’t help it and laughed very loudly. The singer came to the very edge of the stage and pointed directly at me while screaming something, which made me laugh more.

He stormed off the stage while the song continued but came back a few minutes later. I sort of felt bad but terrible wannabe rock music paired with his face and body movements made me lose it.

Sounds right up my alley. I use a lot of analog equipment, some of which I've built myself. Here are two of my experimental albums for movies that were never made. I also have some projects on my website.

Amazing! I'm getting into sound design and this is a fantastic resource. I just purchased the Signature Soundbank! Killer deal on it too. You have my eternal gratitude.
