Sat: Algorave Jam (new!), PC 4k, oldskool demo
Sun: Wild, Fantasy Console, PC+Amiga final block.
And all the concerts!

I work with the intricacies of drones and software and automation quite a bit. Even with some insider knowledge, seeing these drone lightshows always feels like magic. Really incredible stuff.

I'm most excited to share the technical video which shows all the new stuff I made during the PhD.
Some eurorack modules, sequencing discs and switches, and mechanical small percussion. The video shows how each of them works with short examples.

Alright. Decided I wasn't happy with everything I said in the first take, so another 65 takes later...
Reckon I've spent 2+ hours to get 2 minutes of natural talking to camera. I hope this ratio gets better 😄
I've put it to go live at 2pm. I'll post here. Please join on my house remake adventure!

Supposed to be: Dredging Facebook Marketplace to find cheap household appliances.

Actually: Buying a replica T-800 skeletal arm I found on there.

It's good. It's all good.

He'd be the *perfect* uncle.
