    I put out an EP for Bandcamp friday. It's mostly analog techno in Detroit / Berlin style. Sounds like IDM versions of Belleville Three I think, also Binh, Gene on Earth, Evan Baggs, Omar S, those kinds of folks ? Here are some codes to get it started https://coolandfrank.bandcamp.com/yum rh2w-wrhz aclq-hdqg 8ps9-5dg3 hnl6-hcmp hwpk-5cy2

    yeah man! there is so much confusion about mail-in rules and deadlines and naked ballots and all kinds of scenarios for voters the calls must really help. e.g. in some states you can bring your completed mall-in ballot to a polling station day of election, in others you can't, well, if you do, you have to have them "soil it" and do a new one. ugh.

    If you're feeling sick to your stomach this weekend, do some phone banking! They make it pretty easy. I just did some for PA. https://www.mobilize.us/backtobluepa/event/334917/ You get hangups and a few annoyed people but you will definitely get some nice ones. I had a lade whose 12 year old daughter was making her vote for the first time in her life. It was very sweet. If you've never done it before it's a bit awkward at first but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. And yo, if this is all fucked up on Wednesday and you think you could have done more, it'll feel even worse. There are tons of options here https://www.mobilize.us/

    Longtime Detroit techno guy, not like a founding father but he's been making tons of music for a long time. He puts everything out on his own label and occasionally brings people in and does some reissues. This reissue seems to be of a super rare and highly collectible disco album that probably made collectors mad https://omar-s.bandcamp.com/album/take-me-dancing. I think this is his most well known album https://omar-s.bandcamp.com/album/thank-you-for-letting-me-be-myself. FXHE is pretty wide ranging, there's techno, disco, and some more synth based tunes, some of which could even count as IDM maybe. This is a good place to start https://omar-s.bandcamp.com/album/simply

    Is this just new to me? Omar S put up tons of FXHE on bandcamp and it's glorious. https://omar-s.bandcamp.com/

    like this one a lot. glimmers of bass of quick cut spooky scenes.

    I really like Container and think it would really work at 130bpm as a simple techno track focused on modular thing bouncing around and the big reverb for bedding

    What do you mean it uses a lot of energy? Like a lot of human work time or a lot of computer power and therefore electricity?

    ZOMG instafollow ?

    This new AI platform for generating text, and apparently, code, web sites, and other stuff, has been getting a lot of attention and I have to say, I'm usually underwhelmed by this stuff but the demos and examples I've seen are pretty spooky I have to say. I bet there are people on here who know about this and are using it and I'd like to hear about it. A friend said an RPG he plays was using it and I've messed around with Shortly which is a short story writing app that uses it. I suspect you could use for music and probably that's already being done somewhere.

    I did a live stream as part of a fundraiser for the Massachusetts Bail Fund in support of BLM protests. It's a bunch of unreleased tracks that are kinda detroity techno / idm. I use a drumbrute, minilogue, volca bass, and reason. i'm really happy with how it sounds actually ? pretty nice to have total control over the sound and not have to deal with vageries of soundsystem sound person you know. not that i don't appreciate sound people! it's more like i've never really figrued out how to make my tunes sound decent across different systems, heh

    Snare is pretty bad / unusable. I tend to treat it like a closed hi hat. BD is meh but I like the rest, the clap is pretty pretty pretty good
  19. cooliofranco
    oh shoot u guys are right TR-8 does have 909 sounds. Thanks!
  20. cooliofranco
    I have a Drumbrute which is fun but now really want a 808 / 909. Of course getting originals is kind of off the table due to $$$$. The TR-8 seems like a nice option but i can't tell when the TR-9 is actually arriving. Anyone know? I think I can save a bit by going rack-mounted so I'm looking at Novation Drum, Station v2, which seem be $250-300 used. Anyone have an strong opinions on these? I have a couple specific questions and I'd like to message with an owner. I'd really love a JoMoX AirBase 99, but can only seem to find one for sale in Japan, and it's a biiiittt toooo pricey with shipping. I don't know, is it worth it???

    like this one best of the recent ones. on the spectrum of chaotic to groovy i generally prefer a bit more tilted towards groovy. if you find yourself revisiting this one maybe reinforce the kick with a groovier bass line and remove some elements, but it's all just a matter of taste / what you're going for hope the dadding is going well ?

    I have a number of friends and family that are doctors and epidemiologists in major US cities and they are scaring the shit out of me. They are FAR MORE alarmist about this than what is in the news. Doctors see clearly the infrastructure will be overwhelmed- already seeing very sick people, not just the elderly. Epidemiologists saying we must lock down now: only emergency workers, health care workers on the roads. Do this now. Individuals should hunker down. If you have vacation time use it now. If you get sick, do not go out, minimize contact with those you live with, hydrate, treat symptoms. If you have to go the hospital, go. There isn't that much they can do for you unless you are so sick you need a respirator and there is a limited number of respirators. The idea that if you're young you're OK may not really hold up- the data is not a slam dunk. And if you think about a 1/1000 death rate for young people, that doesn't seem terrifying. But If 1/3 of the population is going to get this, you're looking at 1/3000 chance of dying. There is nothing in your life that carries that kind of risk. And you can avoid it by staying in. Stay in. Be safe everyone. Stay in. Make music. Fret. Cook. Watch TV.
