What's the discord server if you don't mind me asking ? I've got a friend that does film scoring and is starting to get into video game music, so game jams would be fun. I'm thinking of trying it out as well.
Do you know VCV Rack ? It's a free virtual modular synth program, it's great fun for synth based music and sound design.
I've just started listening, great loops and processing ! Seems like a fun setup you've got there, must be great to play with.
Yeah such a nice feeling ! Especially the second track Repetitions, it's nostalgic, and it's got a 90s French Touch feel to it. I really like the "minimalist" synth and sound approach, it makes for a really simple mix that just gels together really well, with the nice wide pans. This could be fun to play live !
What was the the game jam like ? I've never done one !
That’s a great video ! I’m planning to do something similar with a couple guitar players I play with, using a copy of their signal to modify my patches live.
Furniture music as in elevator music or Muzak ?
I don’t know if I’d put Satie in that category personally !
I think that furniture music has it’s uses and moments. Furniture music isn’t just one genre imo, it’s more based on context. Ambient music was somewhat made to be background music, like Brian Eno’s Music For Airports, but many people listen to it attentively. For example a jazz band playing at a cocktail reception can be background music and a ambient concert can be the main event, and the opposite is true, a jazz gig as the main event and ambient music as a background for an event or exposition. Another example is the lofi hip-hop to study to playlists, great example of furniture music with a purpose.
That’s a pretty innovative sound card for sure ! I’m surprised I haven’t seen sound cards with CV/hardware and software integration before.
I like the idea of using the sound card in the creative process, as opposed to just letting it sit at the back of the desk. I wonder if it will gain adoption and inspire other manufacturers to go this way. This could be a new turning point in the sound card market.
Thanks I’ll check out itchio !
DIY Eurorack sounds like a lot of fun. Do you design the schematics or find pre-existing ones and recreate them ? As much as I like hardware, I’ve never got into modular because of the cost. I think semi-modular synths and/or vcv is a good compromise, but I’m intrigued by diy modular, I’ve done a bit of diy effect pedals which was fun.
