In the 1980s #Tamron made an LD (low dispersion glass) line. Sharp & fast, hey made 4 #lenses in all in the adaptall-2 mount, compatible w/ the #SLRs produced at the time. I've been lugging around my #fujifilm #xt5 w/ one of them. I started with the 80 to 200mm f2.5 one touch zoom & manual focus.

Now playing on "The Indie Beat Radio - Electronic" channel: "She Sells Seashells" by Francois Dion Album: Candy Store Support the artist: https://bandwagon.fm/@67a0d6f6f050061c8b4cf633 Listen live: https://theindiebeat.fm/electronic Up next on https://theindiebeat.fm: Luka Prinčič / Prince […]

Back in May 1995, I released "Radio Interference" on cassette (IDM-3004). It has been on #soundcloud for a bit now, but given this month is officially the 30th anniversary of this album, I thought I'd do a bit of promo. #techno #idm #electroacoustic #experimental #minimalist

Kind of replicating the experience of a vintage #arp #2600 #modular #synth with a sequencer. Using a mixer case to house the Story #behringer 2600 clone along with a series of 2500 clone modules, including a sequencer, a sequencer switcher, a mixer sequencer, a multimode resonant filter, a VCA etc

I also do #ambient music using #modular #synthesizers and classic #analog synths. My track "Musique pour decompresser" was featured on "The Ambient Hour" show recently: www.audiointerface.org/shows/the-am... #electronicmusic #music #electronica #eurorack

Sam Montembeault said he tore two of his three groin muscles in a Ryan Leonard shot just before the first TV timeout of the second period. Said he thought he could play through it, but he allowed the Chychrun goal “because of that” so he pulled himself. Could have played in 2nd round.

On this week's "Forgotten Future" radio show, you'll get to hear my track "Craft Pundit" , featuring the #Hammond #Novachord (used on "Candy Store" album). A good bit of sound design on the track, including the mellotron like flute played by an #sci #sixtrak www.audiointerface.org/shows/forgot...

Stanley Cup playoffs are just around the corner, starting this weekend. I'll post some #data #visualization #dataviz for each team pairs before the playoffs start.

sports.dionresearch.com/nhl/MTL/2025... Added an index per day for #nhl #hockey statistics for #MTL #GoHabsGo #Montreal #Canadiens Covers extensive visualizations of #PP, #PK and overall metrics like #Corsi #Fenwick #Faceoff #PIMs etc

Curious to see if Nikishin will play for the #Canes against the #habs tomorrow. Depends on the visas. As a reminder, Nikishin and Demidov played together for SKA St-Petersburg. #nhl #hockey #canadiens #hurricanes

31 saves for Cayden Primeau, a 4-1 win, and the Laval Rocket have officially clinched a Calder Cup playoff spot

At least the Laval Rocket were playing tonight... I believe they've now clinched a playoff spot. #ahl #hockey

Xavier Simoneau draws a four-minute double minor by annoying Logan Shaw Impeccable stuff really

#Montreal #Canadiens playing #Carolina #Hurricanes in #Raleigh tonight, just down I-40 from me. #NHL #Hockey #Sports #Analytics While last chart I posted showed #Flyers and #Habs with similar metrics, this one is all advantage #Canes. 1st overall PK, btw. sports.dionresearch.com/nhl/MTL/roll...

Another useful viz for tonight's #nhl #hockey game between #Montreal #Canadiens and #Philadelphia #Flyers. It is my rolling #metrics #stats plot, but in comparison mode. In this case, solid line for #MTL and dashed line for #PHI. Click on legend 2 interact sports.dionresearch.com/nhl/MTL/roll...

#Montreal #Canadiens playing #Philadelphia #Flyers tomorrow. Let's look at the trends on offense metrics, like Corsi, Fenwick, offensive zone starts & faceoff % (there is more). We'll look at rolling mean on 5 games to see the trend. #nhl #hockey #habs MTL: sports.dionresearch.com/nhl/MTL/roll...

The #Montreal #Canadiens are playing on the road the #StLouis #Blues tonight. Last time they met, #habs won 5-2 Let's start with Power Play: both at 21.5%, but... St-Louis PP is steady, not as good at home sports.dionresearch.com/nhl/STL/cumu... sports.dionresearch.com/nhl/STL/powe...

In my spare time, I compose & perform music. Back in December, I released "Candy Store" on Bandcamp. It is #electronicmusic combining synthesizers from various eras (from the 1940s to modern) along more traditional instruments, such as pianos and guitars. francoisdion.bandcamp.com/album/candy-...
