Lifeform Oscillator- Nature @lifeformoscillator developed by @nickythomaspacker is a Beautiful IOS App that turns tracked motion within simulations into expressive MIDI control for unique intertwined LFO and control signals across multiple MIDI outputs. Here I am using it to effect a piano loop in decent sampler by modulating delay time and feedback within Outer Space 2, Frequency within Filterjam by @audiothing and the gravity parameter within Blackhole reverb by @eventideaudio all in AUM. I can’t wait to hook it up to the modular to get it swimming 🐠🐟🐡 #iosapp #iosmusic #electronicmusic #modularsynth

RIP Michael Stanley Packer (1943-2025) Sadly and unexpectedly my father passed away in the early hours of Thursday morning here in Glasgow. My dad was a smart and sensitive human and the sweetest granddad to my daughter Luna. He was a kind, patient and generous man with a boyish smile with a hint of deviance and an aversion to convention. He was generous with the practicalities, with his time, his knowledge and he was always willing to help out where he could. I never heard him raise his voice, lose his patience or get angry - not once. He had a rich and varied life - from rural self-sufficiency in south west Wales, to working in the remotest of the out-back in Western Australia. Never one to pursue a career, he made his own path of pot-luck, chance and happenstance. He would reveal incredible secrets, stories and nuggets of knowledge from his journey through life at hilariously unexpected moments - I don't know if we ever uncovered them all. He will forever be with me as the force of encouragement he was - whatever is being pursued, however terrible the idea.
