Now playing. kevindrumm.bandcamp.com/album/a-smal...

My now defunct and very short-lived website about old computer music software, "Mock Funeral". mockfuneral.github.io Only three things on there. 1) Norris' SoundMaker + SoundMagicFX plugins for OS9. 2) Rainey's Xynthi SC patch 3) Stephan Mathieu interview by @doomglue.bsky.social

Desk recording from my set at Mayhem in Copenhagen, 29/3/2025. Dual glitched out Discman and a laptop running Supercollider. www.youtube.com/watch?v=esOi...

Live at Mayhem, Copenhagen, 29/3/2025. Discman x2 and a laptop.

#cdfriday adjacent. Live at Mayhem, Copenhagen, tomorrow. Dual-wielding discman and laptop scramblings.

Early #cdfriday tasks: burning a cd with viola da gambe source. Had to pull out the 2012 Macbook for this, and it took five tries for the disc drive to register the disc.

Very intrigued by the #dkgame 'Blackout' from 97, which is seemingly difficult to find in any sphere – and I haven't got much time to learn DOSbox to run W95. Only a single playthrough online. lparchive.org/Blackout/ by @simonchris.bsky.social (?) #gameaudio by Manuel Espasandin it would seem.

Imaginging and designing the sound of solar winds as a #gameaudio system in Wwise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1l...

A questionable live setup has begun to take shape. See you at Mayhem in Copenhagen on the 29th of March.

Recording this test equipment tower. Two function generators and a lock-in amplifier.

Early #cdfriday. Discman antiskip buffer chip glitch. And a Supercollider patch. I'll bring this when I play at Mayhem in Copenhagen on the 29th of March. Guess the disc being mangled (hint: it's an ECM disc).

A mini sound library of contact microphone recordings of the Uher 4000 Report-S tape deck mechanisms. Clunky button presses, highly lively motor sounds and a squeaking lid. 96kHz/24bit. Pay what you want at Gumroad: marchasselbalch.gumroad.com/l/uherminili... #gameaudio #sounddesign

"Titan Knife" now out on the lovely Tokinogake. Listen at: marchasselbalch.bandcamp.com/album/titan-... Cheers.

I'm playing live at Mayhem in Copenhagen 29/3. No chunky machines the time around. Just a laptop and Supercollider. Until I change my mind. If you're around, come out and say hello.

A Supercollider buffer-mangling and processing patch for some #gameaudio work. A few odd and extreme parameter settings and it ends up in the realm of stupid computer music.

(1/2) #gameaudio comparison: I always found the time-at-a-standstill audio in Braid a tiny bit unnerving. Low, filtered, resonant noise, wind-like. Wonderful contrast to everything else. So I recorded a video to compare the design in the 2008 vs the 2024 release.

Monotonous Supercollider electro, Fostex mixer doing the heavy lifting for the crunch and lovely EQs. Quadraverb on FX duty – and a little spring reverb.

I walked past the local beauty shop with a lovely name yesterday. I nicked the title for an album back in 2022. marchasselbalch.bandcamp.com/album/facesp...

Two new wonderfully swirling recordings out on Søndag, which I am very happy to be able to share with you. Søndag 003: pä – pele osso pele (@paulodafonseca.bsky.social) Søndag 004: J.Soliday – Slow Song For Shepard Speech (@cranksatori.bsky.social) Listen and buy at: soendag.bandcamp.com

In March 2024 I played in a church in Copenhagen. I brought two function generators, Quadraverb, a noisy compressor, a mixer and a 2012 Macbook running Supercollider. It turned into this release: marchasselbalch.bandcamp.com/album/slideg...

Pro: I got the (older) Leap Motion controller working with Max on macOS so I can send midi cc data to Reaper/other and control feedback setups. Con: Entirely unflattering from-below camera view of me waving my hands about like a lunatic.

I uploaded my Spectral Motherfucker release, "Arr 01–03" to Youtube. You might have to log in to listen, since Youtube doesn't appreciate swearing. Recorded in May 2024 using primarily an Octatrack and a Quadraverb. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hX4...

I have fallen into the Steamroom Bandcamp hole again. Do not send help. steamroom.bandcamp.com/album/steamr... To those who are unfamiliar: get familiar. Cheers @steamroom.bsky.social

EXCITED OBJECTS – a sound object library. Abrasive metal textures recorded using assorted metal objects, surface transducer and guitar pickup. Pay what you want on Gumroad: marchasselbalch.gumroad.com/l/excitedobj...

Using a fitting K2000R filter today. RIP.

I would very much appreciate if the people doing hour long Youtube video essays on incredibly specific subjects would direct their attention towards covering every single Depeche Mode 12" single mix from '81 until about '02. youtu.be/aJR3JbkJdAA?...

Menu diving till the end of my days. It's about to get distinctly '86 around the home studio.
