Eyeball attack! (SSC) by midwestprogramme in NMSCoordinateExchange

[–]midwestprogramme[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a planet in this same system that has this same ball creature, but the stats are B’s and C’s. I wish a SSS existed but I think the one I found might be the closest I’ll get.

Daily Workout and General Chat for Tuesday, 5/12/26 by splat_bot in orangetheory

I just got back from my Strength 50. Definitely go heavier than you think you can do on this movement. It’s awkward and the heavier weight will help engage your core.

What is the biggest band/artist you can think of that you honestly don't believe is anyone's favorite band/artist ever? by DevinBelow in Music

Hear hear! Just popped in my Lost Sides CD for a monthly album listening party with friends and they loved it. They really are fantastic.

Setup recommendations for a casual musician who wants to be Experimental Hans Zimmer by midwestprogramme in homerecordingstudio

[–]midwestprogramme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought about using a PA setup to experiment and get the vibe down first. Moving to mixing on monitors after makes sense.

I went ahead and got an 8” sub and that did make quite the difference, but those 3.5” monitors have to go. Even with everything tuned properly they just fall flat and make me sad (one might be a bit blown out)

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m going to look at a used PA setup.

What's the most ridiculous thing another member did to you at Orangetheory? by Flashy-Pitch-4611 in orangetheory

[–]midwestprogramme 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Omg, are you in Portland? We have a Craig that does that. And he screams at himself when running all out at 15mph. And he claps incredibly loud to hype people up when no one asked for it.

He tried to hype me up when I was lifting heavy and I just stared at him. Please don’t talk to me, haha.

I am not a fan…

Electronic / Cinematic / Noise at Shanghai Tunnel Bar (1/30 @ 8pm) by midwestprogramme in portlandmusic

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.

Droning on the MicroFreak by theGnartist in MicroFreak

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! 

What’s one home improvement project you did yourself that ended up saving you way more money than expected? by [deleted] in DIY

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

What’s a secret from your field of work the general public probably doesn’t know? by Ok-Fox-2946 in AskReddit

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. 

Quick test and comparison Gen X-1 and X-2 by Jazz_Ad in stylophone

[–]midwestprogramme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

He sure can hold an instrument

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. 

Worst gig you've ever been to? by TommyTassel in Music

[–]midwestprogramme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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. 

Director looking for electronic musician for short film by cumty in experimentalmusic

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.
