lately I have to do this thing with all the songs I make where it has to build up to this somber crescendo with a deep sense of regretful longing like I'm some sort of 19th century composer with tuberculosis on their deathbed trying to finish penning a sad but hopeful requiem as their last great gift to humanity...

I just published a new song from my VN project, this one is a classic, early-game, hometown type of theme, a bit twangy, and borrows its motif from the main theme... enjoy!
today will be a good day, for I have finally made an album sale on bandcamp to someone who actually has a bandcamp account, meaning the album now shows up as being "supported by" someone, woo!!! (and they actually bought the good album so I know they're not a bot)
it feels good to feel supported :)
new dungeon ambient mysterious expedition synth dark cavey background music
here's the latest eerie, enigmatic, rhythmic tune from my VN project
I made another soothing tune reminiscent of a cool crystal cavern for my VN project
today I made another song for my #VisualNovel ... this one is going to go in a section where you have to solve a maze type of thing...
remastered and extended an original song from a previous project to maybe use for Dungeon of Departure... if it fits somewhere...
more music #MusicMonday from my #VisualNovel project... it's a weird mix of peppy waltz and plucky middle eastern strings, or something...
MUSIC MONDAY! today we have another eerie, deep, cavernous, cello-centric tune from the soundtrack of my upcoming visual novel project!

finished that song I was working on. I'm calling it "The Air We Breathe" and it's the first track I've fully released from my upcoming pixel art visual novel, Dungeon of Departure.

Except perhaps this tune I recorded for #RaspberryPiPico's first birthday.
This was before I fell out with #RaspberryPi because they accused me of sending an army of militant vegans after them. This happened after I had asked them very nicely to put their picture of pigs in blankets behind a CW.
When they refused and doubled down instead, some other people replied to aid me (in a civil manner).
Then #SpyCopGate happened and then this: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisstokelwalker/raspberry-pi-hired-ex-cop-mastodon-controversy

This is the best I managed to get out of it in the past - you can hear the half second delay between pressing a button and hearing the sample.
Also, anyone wants to book me for any singing gigs? 
I wonder if I should attempt a brain transplant tonight? 
I previously tried a Pro Micro and DFPlayer to use custom samples on this delightful Salvation Army shop find, but the latency between hitting a key and getting a sound is just a bit too long to be of much musical use...
A1 Apologies for being late!
I'm AxWax, a #MusicMaker from Germany who normally lives in Spain but is on holiday back home.
The last few days I've been setting up a mini recording space and have been trying to get my #RaspberryPiPico based MIDI to CV interface with inbuilt envelope generator to work again, as I had it here in storage for the last few months.

Here's the long overdue video for track 5 on my #DAWlessJams1 EP, entitled Werk It (it was my first proper Moog Werkstatt track).
It also features a #Teensy as a serial to USB host MIDI converter, so I could use my JP8000's arpeggiator with the Werkstatt (via an Arturia Beatstep as MIDI to CV converter) and a weird DSP Effects unit from China.
As always, trailer below, full vid+info at

Apart from the TD-3/DIY delay combo from my last video I am using a Korg Monotron delay on the RX11's clap and an arpeggiated Moog Werkstatt-01 through a delay/flanger provided by a Korg NTS-1.
As there is no MIDI or sequencer on the Werkstatt I wrote a hacky #MicroPython script to produce a hardcoded, but MIDI-synced arpeggio on CV1 and a user-controllable envelope generator on CV2.
I'll write more about the #Electronics side at some point in the future, but it'll be a while...
#PixelArt #Animation I made for an original album I made for Air Traffic Controllers to study/relax to.
also on my bandcamp #MusicMaker

For anyone interested here's a peek into the innards of the delay unit.
It consists of a cheap common PT2399-based delay PCB off Aliexpress, a few extra pots, an Arduino Uno and a DIY MIDI interface for MIDI tempo sync.
