You can hear it a lot in this episode, and I'm working on an automatic gain control circuit that will let you hear it even better in my next episode.

    In which I explore my Doubleplusbass kick drum prototype and my RumbleKikBoom proto-prototype, get really into some nice grooves, find myself extracting fascinating noise textures out of a few ultra-simple modules, and have a lot of fun.

    Me talking about synthesizer stuff that's been happening, and then me doing a pretty laid back 135BPM techno jam with plenty of breaks for interesting sounds and a couple samples.

    Without listening to be sure, this may be my favorite episode so far. A passage in the middle even caused me to get goosebumps and tears. Much less rhythmic than almost all of my previous jams, but of COURSE in the last third that pesky kick drum sneaks in :D

    I really like this episode. Much much much techno. And then toward the end I think I figured out what the problem is with my EasyEi8ht trigger sequencer, so I can get to fixing that.

    This was recorded at PlayThink Festival 2021 while a chair-dance class was underway. Listening to your environment through headphones (and especially while being processed by a modular synthesizer) is wonderful, and highly recommended.
