hi everywanwan. i like to use the computer to create music but sometimes i use my casio sampler or one of my synthy-sizers to do the job. i like my snares wet and my pianos dry. i would say philip's spectre was pretty smart when he came up with noise wall (, but merzbow took it a step further when he invented the wall of sound (many speakers arranged into the shape of a wall)

this is my latest thing im working on. the section after the bass leaves and before the flute/trumpet come in sounds kinda mushy without bass on it, but i didn't like the patterns i had so this demo is necessarily scuffed.

what technology do you use for music? to what end?

i like it

mostly software (i had a big comment written out but i have no clue why it keeps saying "contains blacklisted item"???

(i asked about it an it was the backslash so heres the comment)
currently i use mostly software (currently renoise and flstudio as my main sequencers//workstation) with stuff like composers desktop project via soundthread and lots of effect plugins to make funny sounds (i also tend to use vital a little too much as a synth plugin) though i am looking to get more into hardware (i currently have a volca beats and i have a Roland s-1 on the way)

this is really cool, you should make an album that sounds like this so I can download it and listen to it please.

I've been messing around with sunvox lately.
why do hardware synths have to be so absurdly expensive. For example this stuff https://monome.org/ is really cool, but it's all prohibitively expensive. I suppose you have to just solder your own modular stuff or buy second hand if you're not rich. sad!

target market of like 30 people world wide. all bespoke hardware, small runs where automation doesn't make sense.
using premium parts because why bother doing it all by hand if it's going to be shit.
I'm surprised that stuff is as cheap as it is.

tyvm, you can find more of my work at ofreverence bandcamp. i suppose it might be time for me to release some more instrumentals, idk.

sunvox is cool as hell but ive had so much trouble using a lot of music software ever since i got extra comfortable in fruity loops. did you know it supports patching together VSTs, midi inputs, automation layers in a modular fashion? you can load effects in instrument slots and instruments in effect slots it's so insanely flexible i hate it because pretty much any other host software for music production feels slow now. personal weakness on my part, certainly.
