Uploading parts of my @gravitons livestream for those who missed it.
This was the final part with Cardinal -> https://youtu.be/IGwe_ixXr1A
Many thanks to @nprofile1q... and @nprofile1q... for the opportunity!
Feels especially meaningful to share this Cardinal excerpt now as I finally have my own physical modules in an old case to play with, after relying on institutional access or years of staying in the virtual world. I still love my virtual ones for sure. The software versions have been immensely helpful in developing my understanding of which modules I actually want in my physical playground.
And now: a real life Plaits, getting lost in the Programmable Complex Waveform Generator, and making a cozy space for my spring reverb tank to not hum, and having so much fun with Tyso-Daiko, which is wavetable so digital! and so on… and old Disting that Os left in the case...
When I finally got my hands on a physical Plaits and saw its beautiful aesthetics and easy user interface, I had goosebumps. After playing with it on screen for so many years, you know.
Curious question for you my fedimates: how does your workflow and sound change when moving between software and hardware? Does the physicality change what you make - your timbral choices, your sense of time, anything central to your practice?

Planning to create a mastodon page for my event series Heart of Noise. It feels like I abandoned it in Instagram and I feel bad for my event. Which instances do you suggest?

@nprofile1q... I see… Yeah, unless she wants to explore a remote therapy option for a bit. In any case, it sounds like she is looking for solutions already. It will eventually happen, in some way or another. Hopefully sooner!
Sending hugs! ❤️

I have a wonderful family member who is trapped in a situation that's really unhealthy for her. There's nothing stopping her from changing it except that she's spiraling and trapped in a black-and-whi...
@nprofile1q... Sorry to read this. One of the things that helped me the most with that kind of mindset was of course therapy but I wouldn’t like to give unsolicited advice and I don’t know where she is. Nevertheless, reading about this "TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic)” https://theempowermentdynamic.com/about/, reading this book, the idea of having agency was helpful, also after reading Viktor Frankl's Man’s Search for Meaning, and Philip Toshio Sudo's Zen Guitar book! I know it is guitar but that book was so transformative, in many aspects. I reread these things from time to time.

How do you read books? Do you switch things off and create a dedicated time? Or do you read them while checking phone or other books?

@nprofile1q... where you are looks so lush and nice. I think I understand! Were you in NYC before? You should visit London for music and electronics tourism. Then we can enjoy some pints
