#Introductions continued: Freakbox, my funny instrument.

@elifyalvac you're obviously controlling it carefully, i guess i meant the intensity was powerful - not a bad thing in the least, quite the opposite in fact, i guess i wasn't expecting it to get so crazy & incite that sort of anxiety.
@tsrono I can actually be clumsy. But I get your point. Thanks
️ have you got any funny handmade instruments like this? -

️ have you got any funny handmade instruments like this?@tsrono top knobs are oscillators, each generating rectangular waves, and the front ones on top control the pitch. Top switches change octave. Mid and bottom switches put it into distortion and lfo (just square) modes

@elifyalvac no, i don't have anything too interesting gear-wise, not at that level for sure. i remember some sorta noisy effects pedals out of Japan (i think?) that piqued my interest but never jumped down that path. i'm looking to build some weird patching & get closer towards those noisier & more wild sounds with some gear i've got tho. later this year probably if all goes well
oh thanks for the rundown. not *too* crazy when broken down but still v versatile & gets wild quickly!

@elifyalvac you designed that yourself i believe you'd mentioned?

@lislegaard FFS I searched and they have a whole influencer package. I fell behind youtube! Ok, let me leave so I’ll reupload the video with my new nordvpn package. yikes they put pewdiepieeee on
@elifyalvac @lislegaard I had never heard of this and been a Nord VPN user for years...

@tsrono Got involved in that. I need to thank Goodiepal for that. I don’t know if you know him but in 2019 when I used to leave in Turkey I went to Denmark and did a mini tour with him in Copenhagen. It was then Freakbox became mine. If you don’t know about Goodiepal, be ready for some weirdest sh*t that will pop out when you search him lol he is not present in any internet channels. He doesn’t use a phone which makes it hard to communicate with him but there is a way

@tsrono + I wouldn’t be surprised if it came from Japan. It is a different path. I am on the same side as you in that, despite this freakbox thing you see. I like building those things at software level. I am fascinated by DSP but I still need to learn so much! By the way, what’s the next thing from you that I should listen to on my bandcamp now?

@elifyalvac the little i glanced at of his is pretty diverse for sure...i imagine he's a fun touring partner if nothing else!

@SamanthaJaneSmith Thanks! I can imagine you having lots of fun with this tool after finding out about your tools!

@elifyalvac i see i see! i i'm going to try & design a 'system' w/ my hardware gear. idk how far i'll get but should be an interesting endeavor! DSP is so so deep & vast, there's a fair good bit of info and research out there about it at least, tho i can't say i've really read anything good personally (got a Max For Live book i've temporarily sidelined. it's good, just not got far enough in)
this one's got a pretty diverse collection of song types, some raw & heavy

https://tsrono.bandcamp.com/album/erythric-limnes@tsrono Thanks! I might have already enjoyed this one but I don’t know if I checked the whole thing. I now have an exciting list of things to listen to today in my break from work. Looking forward.

@elifyalvac Too many synths so little time!

@SamanthaJaneSmith @lislegaard I hadn’t heard of it either until yesterday. Looks like some influencers have nord vpn sponsorship

@elifyalvac if something a bit less beat-driven is of interest, i still enjoy listening to my drone release - 5 hours of daily drones done in December some years ago - they're not all gems but it's an interesting set of stuff. good for background/dropping in wherever & such as there's no narrative arc or anything intended: https://tsrono.bandcamp.com/album/decoi-ei

@mosgaard could have avoided saying “this is a city” but it can look like it like bjork’s christmas tv haha
thank you! It became mine in Denmark!

https://tsrono.bandcamp.com/album/erythric-limnes@tsrono I listened to it earlier today. I liked all tracks but that no. 5 kallistei is insane! No. 3 and 7 also immediately captured me like some shephards tone going on. How did you make that no. 5? Really crispy sounds and harsh dynamics also
