I'm creating a series for people who want to learn how to program synths-- taking you from the basics thru intermediate skills, for all currently popular methods of synthesis. It's just getting started now, so get in on the ground floor!
Go to EtherDiver.com and you'll see the link on the front page. Enjoy!

If you like knowing how the sausage is made, there's a new post on my blog covering my production process for my upcoming album The Mechanics of Mysticism. This one covers a practice I picked up a while ago: instrument days, where I pick an instrument (like this excellent @arturia_official MiniBrute 2s) and add a bit of it to literally every track I'm currently working on.
Link in bio. Or you can find it by going to my site EtherDiver.com, clicking on Ship's Log and looking for the photo you see above...

I just posted a detailed patch write-up on my blog for this patch, the basis for my latest track "Led Astray by the Title (Cloud Mistaken for Zeppelin)."
Find it at EtherDiver.com (click on Ship's Log link to find the blog), or just enjoy the photo.

Finally time to thin out my cassette collection😅 I'm selling three of these "briefcases" of sealed tapes and a couple more cases worth that have been gently used (some of which have some cool stuff on them). If you're interested, LMK. Otherwise, just enjoy the pictures.
EDIT: Sold this bunch but I still have a couple more cases full. Holler if you think you might want them.
And don't worry, I'm not giving up on cassettes; this is all my "overflow" and I still have hundreds stashed away...

Hey musician and producer friends of Instagram! If you're looking to get some authentic (i.e. non digital plugin) tape sounds on your music, samples or mixes, I can help. I'm offering $15 for 45 minutes of audio run thru authentic magnetic tape and back to digital. I offer reel-to-reel and 3 different cassette deck options (pictured here), plus a few specialty options (VHS, Tascam multitracker, microcassette) for an extra charge. Have a variety of tapes, from crunchy lofi voice quality cassettes to barely-there pristine metal cassette tape. If you're interested, DM me or email iametherdiver AT gmail for more details and booking.

New patch, new pic, new post, new track! This is the patch for "The Gospel of the Comb Filter," wherein I process some vintage Evangelical Christian Nonsenseâ„¢ on tape thru a few thousand dollars of modular effects! It's weird! It's trippy! It's on my album Metaphysical Shitposting at Bandcamp (EtherDiver.Bandcamp.com)!
And you can read all about the patch and how I performed it at my blog at EtherDiver.com/ships-log if you want to know more.

A sneak peek of the probable new studio setup. Less space than my old studio but better utilized I think. Some of this stuff may move and I need some different stands and things to get it all setup correctly, but this feels like something very close to the final version of my initial build.
Lots of gear in this pic and I still have a few things to unpack (some pedals and my guitar and bass, mostly). Spot anything interesting?

And just like that... It's done. Got all my stuff packed up yesterday, then drove literally halfway across the country. Now I'm in my new home in southern California. Feels weird after 27 years in Colorado, but at least I'm done shoveling snow and scraping ice from my windshield!
(This is the old place once I had nearly every packed up. This old warhorse and the cheapo Yamaha FM synth were two of the last things to go into the car.)
