🇬🇧 Yesterday was my second Sunday Mass, and while I’m still working on posts for other socials — I’m dropping the performance here first.
Everything was pretty much like last time, except I brought a Digitakt instead of MPC, and the genre… no idea what to call it...

🇬🇧 Awesome complete explainer of what exactly we do at the Sunday mass. Huge thx to Pasha!
The video at the link is voiced in Russian, but you can always turn on auto-generated English subtitles on youtube

🇬🇧 I know a bit of music theory (thanks to music school and my math-minded brain), but this video seriously leveled up my sense of harmony and voice leading. Highly recommend watching!

🇬🇧 Today’s “shareable content” comes courtesy of my wife
Now this is what I call a proper demo!

🇬🇧 Once a year, on Black Friday, I remind everyone that you can grab some of the most soulful tools from elementarysounds at a discount 🙂
Just listen to this…

🇬🇧 Time to pull a little “admin privilege.” Go check out these great remixes, vote for the one that hits you right… and if you happen to drop a checkmark next to mine on the way — I won’t complain ;)

Here are the ones I really liked.

🇬🇧 So... Looks like I made it onto the podium again in a remix contest. Another small step toward actually feeling like a musician. I’m slowly learning not to be shy about my music and not to listen to that inner imposter insisting I’m “not the real thing.”

🇬🇧 The video itself is in Russian, so here’s the summary in English.

In this video I share how a great YouTube breakdown completely changed the way I think about kick drums. Instead of just picking a sample, I tried rebuilding a kick from scratch on the Digitakt using three layers — sub, thump, and click — following the techniques from the video. With parameter locks and a bit of controlled randomness, I ended up generating a whole set of unique kicks that can be resampled into a drum chain. Super fun workflow and a great way to get original, characterful sounds.

🇬🇧 Does it annoy you too when gear wobbles from the slightest touch (even on video), or am I the only one with this problem?

🇬🇧 I only recommend the stuff I actually use myself… Black Friday, ten bucks, you know the drill.

🇬🇧 I honestly can’t figure out who Alphateta is making this for. They released Chordcat — and it sank without a trace. And now this sorta-not-Maschine-Micro, sorta-not-Akai-MPD…

As some of you already know, I recently got myself a Monome Norns (not the original — the shield version).
Drop by the stream today in a couple of hours (~18 CET) — I’ll be working on an iPad emulator for Monome Grid and Monome Arc.
Bad news - stream will be held in russian
- No music-making this time, just writing code for music.
- I’ll answer your Norns questions as much as I can — I barely understand half of it myself
- and we can just chat about life

A bit of context:
norns is many sound instruments. It’s a small, portable, open-source sound computer that runs scripts and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) on the fly.

And here’s a YouTube showcase to give you an idea of “what this thing even is”:
