CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Nixtrove sacrifice a goat to the gods of soundcheck balance, pray that no cables got frayed in transport, hope you have enough battery power left in all the devices, utter a silent prayer to dave smith

@tsrono such quiet and cute meows definitely warrant a few pats as well

@sean_ae @Cognessence @elifyalvac @oscillik @Rushup_Dee incidentally i've always loved Maphive 6.1 so maybe i actually like gm sound oops

@sean_ae @Cognessence @elifyalvac @oscillik @Rushup_Dee gm sound and vaporwave is a bit of a chicken and the egg situation. do we associate these sounds to vaporwave because that's what was sampled, or was vaporwave an aesthetic trend that just didn't really have a name and was just codified.

like, devil summoner soul hackers is to me an actual vaporwave artifact. i know it existed at the time but it's an incredible sum of all that the aesthetic represents, ost included: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl6pv2f3ILU

@sean_ae @Cognessence @elifyalvac @oscillik @Rushup_Dee the gm stuff only really sounds interesting when augmented, like some artists do on orange milk for example. if i had to choose between different sound sources for pc i'd absolutely never take gm tho, especially if you had the option for adlib or yamaha fm (like on the x68000 for example with its base sound chip) or like gravis ultrasound-like wavetable instead.

@sean_ae more DAWs need 2-player modes

@elifyalvac russell is swell

@Cognessence @tsrono actually the new clark single slaps, he's so underrated it kind of drives me up the wall.

@tsrono i should've taken a screencap but i was on the bandcamp front page like an hour ago and the whole "just sold" section was just the new record, i'd never seen that before. so yeah they are for sure driving a lot of traffic both to bleep and bandcamp.

@tsrono saw a new clark release on the bleep frontpage and i feel lowkey sorry for chris ngl

@Nixtrove straight up hellmaxxing

@sean_ae so much so that bleep is on its knees at the moment lmao

@Nixtrove

a few more ideas:

Mega Tunnel
Electrolyte Replacement Solid
Parallel Crank Nut
Neroli Clafoutis

@Nixtrove i had that feeling before, random health shit (mental and physical)… hope that your issues subside eventually! i've been lucky to be a bit more problem-free over the past few months so knock on wood
