Nice Morse Code module for Eurorack. Tenderfoot Electronics bringing modular into the 19th century. Love the new coloured panels too. We can get practicing morse ready for the downfall of society….

Do EVRI drivers only work a two day week? Because I thought next working day - is the day after. And no update at all. Shite.

My goodness, EVRI are an atrocious delivery company. A 2 day delivery is 8 days in and still no sign of it. “I’m sorry, we can’t delivery your parcel today”. It’s your sole purpose!

Embrace constraints! Young me couldn't afford an FX rack but clever use of repeat notes /velocity on my Atari ST Cubase, made delays and phasing possible. The results were great even though notes cut etc. We're spoilt for riches now. But artificial limits can help focus on what matters, the music.

50% of using eurorack is cable management.

Happy Birthday to the ingenious Mr Brian Eno. An inspiration machine of a man.

Very intrigued by the new Addac Systems ADDAC320 servo control module. Looks like a genius/crazy way to mechanically modulate stuff! Inspired by Neil Young no less!

Why use a Doepfer A113 subharmonic generator when you can use a Clock Divider at audio rate to fatten your arpeggio! #eurorack

Awful news, feel sorry for the staff having experienced it with Sound Control many moons ago.

Power plays, bluster and greed. It's all just noise…. my DIY kraakdoos experiment adding the crackles, wails and textures to this ambient piece. Power comes at a cost. #modularsynths

I Only Like Difficult Art (and music), by Difficult Art And Music 17 track album

Even if this sold all 100 copies, it would still be crime that so many people will overlook these awesome, awesome tracks. So proud of all the artists involved - the quality is outstanding.

One of the major injustices in life, whether in school, work or on the world stage is - loudness and self confidence get you further than quiet, skilled and knowledgeable.

I've now attempted to employ 3 promo companies to promote our new compilation. All 3 attempts failed (for diff reasons).

Now I need your help! What blogs/radio/sites/etc. do you use for new music? Where can I send promo copies?

It's our first vinyl release, and I can't afford to mess this up!

Looking forward to this - love 'Synthesist' by Harald.
