clavia should release the nord G2 modular as a software only thing. there's VCV rack but the nord's sound is so great. 

I just want a 64bit version of the existing editor ?

I have quite a lot of MP3s starting from the 90s and occasionally when going through the archive I stumble into music that can't be found on YouTube or seemingly anywhere else in the internet. I've been wondering what are the ethics if I start to upload this stuff to youtube?

They're mostly tracks from some obscure compilations, small CD pressings, net labels, self-released stuff, bootlegs, megamixes (remember those?), radio broadcasts/streams, etc. Nothing really mind blowing I think, not like I have the Acid Memories sitting on my harddrive, haha ?

Last time I’ve seen as many hacked/shady websites as I have since getting into diy electronics/audio was in the late 90s when I used to check this site that hosted mirrors (I think) of sites that had been recently defaced by h4ck3rs. Pretty much any slightly obscure part that I google turns up at least one site that has nothing to do with electronics hosting a page with part info and/or generated gibberish.

An example found while hunting for cheap esd safe brushes, it’s a website for a small Dutch veterinary clinic;

I have often wondered what does "friday the 13th" symbolize , and what's with the Easter bunny'. Then it came to me.

friday the 13th means the full moon. The moon influences earthly desires, and is its strongest on a full moon, that's where the word "lunatic ' comes from. Crime rates and hospital admittance rise on a full moon. The moon cycle is 27.3 days, half that is 13.65 (when the full moon occurs). The week starts on Sunday, Sunday being 1st, the 13th day is a friday. 

Its not unlucky, its how we use our will.

 

Easter bunny.

The egg symbolizes rebirth/life (i'm sure all know that), the bunny,  a rabbit, sperate the t you get Rabbi (which means teacher, Jesus was called  teacher) and the separated t makes a cross. The Romans choose the t shape to represent the line between the material/physical world (below the line), and the spirit realm (above the line). The cross should always be drawn with a circle in the center (eg celtic) , this represents the crown, Christ consciousness. 

The lesson of purification.

I'm awoken from sleep by a message telling me trump's got the covid. Get more celebratory messages from friends, wake up, make myself a nice cup of espresso, go to my home office spot and I'm greeted by this view. 

I think 2020 just shifted into it's good phase.

Yes, the camera was a potato.

Yes that's some sort of sunrise rainbow with orb in the middle, I had to use my phones useless wide angle lens to catch it. Had to turn my head to see all of it irl, twas magnificent.

Strange haze outside the last two days, I look it up online, apparently bad air quality due to ashes/smoke from the Californian fires hitting our shores. Makes the world seem smaller and more connected somehow.

I took the calories of each individual item I ate in September and the distribution of first digits very closely approximates Benford's law.

Actual   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
  Count 96 68 44 38 25 17 25 24 17
  % 27.12% 19.21% 12.43% 10.73% 7.06% 4.80% 7.06% 6.78% 4.80%
                     
                     
                     
Benford's   30.00% 17.60% 12.50% 9.70% 7.90% 6.70% 5.80% 5.10% 4.60%

ate that acid this morning. was feeling a little apprehensive about it last night so i only took one hit instead of both, kinda glad i did in retrospect. tripped as hard as i wanted to. was a serious one this time. like it was fun and funny for like the first hour and then it got kinda intense and super introspective. first time tripping alone. paced around constantly. took a few pages of notes.

listened to Geogaddi on the come up, really started feeling it around Alpha and Omega, and completely forgot about the "yellow" and it really caught me off guard and made me laugh my ass off. The hypnotist voice during The Devil is in the Details was making me laugh too, like it just seemed really over the top at the time. Really beautiful record though, was a good peaceful start despite all the dark ominous stuff in it.

listened to syro and most of quaristice too. syro has so much like, crazy wriggling shit in it, was really digging it. quaristice sounded completely alien. like in a good way. like "wow, people made music that sounds like this. how???"

after that i played a little piano

Tripping to Autechre would make me feel like I’m trapped in an algebra equation.

I used to be unable to listen to Confield without getting a mushroom flashback
