I've used the RYTM for the past five years and I feel like I know its synthesis engine inside and out. The one thing I always wish it had was a digital synth voice. I pretty much stick to the first row of RYTM pads: bass drum, snare, r

One correction: the ALGOBABEZ project should be attributed to the duo of both Shelly Knotts and Joanne Armitage.

I bill by the hour and agree with a client up front about an invoicing schedule: usually the 1st of each month, and sometimes on the 1st and 15th of each month. I ripped off an invoice template for Excel and I just use Google Sheets. I send

I work about 8 hours every day. Sometimes less. Sometimes more, but never more than 40 hours in a week. After work, I balance hobbies with family time. To be honest I have a harder time balancing hobbies with family time than I do balancing

I grew up in the U.S. We were taught to use the metric system throughout my schooling and used it (metric) for all science courses in university. But in my university engineering labs on machining and machine tools, it was all taught in inc

I attended a performance of Four Organs in April 2017. There was an incredible amount of tension in the room because the performers looked like they were at their limit of being able to successfully pull off the performance. They did succee

I'm always curious why non-gaming streamers would choose Twitch over YouTube or other services. Does Twitch just offer the best features?

By far the most helpful resources for me have been product reviews and demos. Specifically the Sonicstate Sonic Lab reviews. https://youtu.be/eR1PrKfUvsQ Not really a "guide" like you're asking for, but for m

I've given Sonic PI multiple good tries. I really have. TidalCycles is much more of a natural fit for me (which is an emphasis on rhythm and time manipulation rather than chords/melodies/synths). To each their own. Sonic PI r

I don't think there's a right answer, but I think it might come down to budget. If you want to pay $1000 for an off-the-shelf drum machine, sequencer, or synth, modern musical hardware is pretty easy to use and you can go far. How

I produced this album with TidalCycles: http://shop.conditional.club/album/risc-chip . Controlled samples and hardware synths (via tidal-midi) from code.

There is a difference between finding and making time. I'm married, have one child, play hockey 1.5 times a week, write and record music, and try to cook. When I have a pet project in mind, all of that gets put on hold. I have to _make_ tim
