Had a lot of fun with Intellijel's Swells (reverb) and Jellymix (mixer). Made a bunch of very different setups and got some great sound from them. New video is up on my YouTube channel.
The Roland TR-1000 and a eurorack skiff. Made my first live set of completely improvised dance music and had a lot of fun. New album/video up on my YouTube and Bandcamp pages.
Again, I don't normally post video on here, but @wearenovation asked if I could share some video. The Peak rules. Full song on my YouTube channel. Please check it out.
Sonicware sent over the ELZ_1 Play for me to try. It's a long, challenging semester, and this has been a fun synth to sit on the couch with and noodle. Love having on-board loopers that can nicely fall out of synch. New video up on my YouTube channel with it.
The Torso S-4 is the big surprise of this year. This thing is the most inspiring hardware I've tried in years. So excited that they made an edition in white!
The Elektron Tonverk feels like the first Elektron device where I can sit down, plonk on a keyboard, and compose a song. Tons of polyphony and timbres, a lot of fun. Wish it had more performance-oriented features, but I look forward to exploring it more.
In this episode, (most of) the Pack welcomes musician, writer, neuroscientist, and YouTuber @jayhosking into the fold 🧠
Jay isn’t just someone who makes beautiful synthesizer music. He also somehow manages to energize a whole creative ecosystem through his thoughtful YouTube videos, generous insights, and a buzzing Discord community devoted to experimentation and encouragement.
We get into the good stuff here. The conversation flows from how the brain wires up ideas, to how we wire up our racks, to the eternal struggle of managing too much gear, to the hopes and wild possibilities of Eurorack’s future 🎛
This episode is a ride through music, mindset, and the joy of making sound together. Available anywhere you like your podcasts and also on YouTube. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome home, old friend. Made many a song with the Moog Matriarch, but started to feel it was too large for my space. Then I got a larger space and immediately missed it. Excited to make music with it again.
I have used the Polyend Tracker platform quite a bit and really love it. Now Polyend has an anniversary edition of the Tracker Mini made of metal and glass, with way better buttons. I was lucky enough to get my order sent early in order to make some music with it. I can't wait. This thing is a stunner.
