You may want to look into a fuckin' mirror for that "experts on delusion" line. 1. How do you know what is and is not slander in this situation while you simultaneously confirm you don't know specifics? 2. Why the scare quotes about "wrong"?

Jonas Akerlund making a film about Mayhem is somehow even more repulsive than listening to Mayhem. Garbage filmmaker.

A 16-voice chord all on one 303 filter sweep. Prog acid.

Behringer's 303 clone advertises that you can poly chain up to 16 of 'em right on the box. The concept of this gets funnier to me the more I think about it.

Damnit I missed this. Had I known I would have played it for your cats!

I just forgot another one that I def. regret selling, Roland R-70. Very cool drum machine, and I was impulsive to sell it.

Totally forgot about this one. That's a cool looking sequencer.

Yeah it was odd, they did an initial run that sold quickly, then implied they'd do another run and if they did it was very limited. Been sold out for a long time.

Social Entropy Engine looks awesome. Wish I'd have ordered one when it was new ($1500 second hand currently, sheesh).

Thanks for the recommendations! The Cirklon will eventually be a mid-life crisis purchase, haha. Update on this for anyone curious: Thinking about it a bit more, I don't need any MIDI note sequencing at all. Just the ability for a device to send CC/PC modulation. The Mutable Instruments MIDIpal comes very close but doesn't seems to do LFO's for PC's (which is critical for my needs). The iOS app Rozeta can LFO CC's but doesn't do so currently for PC's. That developer is responsive and very nice. I have submitted a feature request for the LFO app to control Program Changes. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hello Currently using a Critter & Guitari Eyesy, it's wonderful. Patch changing via-receiving MIDI Program Changes opens it up a lot. LFO's to control parameters opens it even further. Currently I'm using a Squarp Pyramid to achieve that and while its wonderful, its way too powerful for it and I'd rather use it elsewhere. So, I am looking for a hardware MIDI controller that matches as many of this list as possible: 1. Small (like a Shruthi) 2. Can create MIDI LFO's that control either CC's or PC's 3. Standalone. No Eurorack for this (want it to be more portable and the rest of the video setup isn't Eurorack either). 4. Hopefully cheap I was looking at the Matthews Effects Futurist but it doesn't appear to generate MIDI LFO's. Any recommendations appreciated, thanks!

Key word is kinda, 'cause I don't lose sleep over this: Roland EF-303. Hated the RCA-only connections (classic Roland cheapness on their inputs/outputs) but yeah, I've come to accept that with the KP3 so I could have accepted it here, too. Also would have been nice to have an all fader-based MIDI sequencer.

How does it feel to be a 3 year old in a giant body?

Matt Davies is one of the best drummers I've seen. Dig their performance style.

This is great. "Saafe" gives me the feels.

Dope mix, very cohesive. Like how it starts with a live track as well.

That review (and esp. that tweet) and this thread have delivered.

1:53 to 2:03, love the way the vocal sample harmonizes against the piano

I'll start, Beat flip at 3:23:

As I'm waiting to see Sergei Loznitsa's "State Funeral" (hopefully in a theater), I watched "The Death of Stalin" the other day. Hilarious. Michael Palin as Molotov was brilliant.

You beat me to it on these! I dunno why I had forgotten Agnes Varda. Literally any of her films in France would be great recommendations. These 2 quoted are a great start. edit: Now my memory's coming back. Also suggest Alain Guiraudie's "Stranger By the Lake" if you're not prudish.

Amour was directed by a German auteur though, with a French cast. Not sure I'd recommend it for the goal of learning about French culture. For a non-French filmmaker's view on France, I recommend Ousmane Sembene's "Black Girl", maybe some late Kieslowski or even Rossellini's "Blaise Pascal". Trying to think of "slower paced" French films and not a ton are coming to mind. Robert Bresson films may feel more languid but they're usually short and rather briskly paced. On the other hand, most people would see Jacques Rivette's Out 1 and consider it chaotic, however I'd def. call that film slow-paced (due to length and Rivette's insistence on keeping you in uncomfortable places for protracted periods of time).
