I finally decided which new synth I wanted to include in the family. I was looking for a small analogue with great bass sounds, a keyboard, and that was lightweight. The choice fell on the Korg Monologue. I'm so impressed with what this small synth can do! Limitations sparks new ideas This time we had... Continue Reading →

Seaboard Block in a hardware setup
I've been interested in the Roli Blocks for a while. I liked the concept of a small, portable MPE controller, but was sceptical of their apparent dependence on a computer or iOS device.

About the song “Where do we go?”
These lazy summer days I'm reading Naomi Klein's "No is not enough - Defeating the New Shock Politics".

Ramblings on computers, hardware and creativity
I've been using computers for music most of my life. My teenage years were spent in front of ProTracker on the Amiga. Good times. As I now remember the experience, things just worked. I hit the power switch on the Amiga, and a couple of weird floppy drive noises later ProTracker was there. Composing tunes... Continue Reading →
