This is all I want for 2026 ā¤ļø My daughter and wife join me in the studio. My heart is filled when I see my daughter twisting the knobs, chasing the lights, shaking her hips. I you watch untill the end we even have a b2b session when sheās jamming on the @oxiinstruments #oxionemk2
š¼Ā Virtual String Instrument Controller
This interactive MIDI controller uses real-timeĀ hand tracking in TouchDesignerĀ to simulate the plucking of virtual strings. When a finger performs a strumming or plucking gesture in mid-air, a trigger signal is generated and sent viaĀ OSCĀ toĀ VCV Rack, whereĀ Mutable Instruments RingsĀ generates the sound.
For hand tracking, I used theĀ MediaPipeĀ plugin by @blankensmithing . The relative motion between finger positions is analyzed to detect pluck intensity, while horizontal position maps to pitch or note selection.
The result is a touchless, expressive string performance interface that blends visual interaction with modular synthesis.

The power of granular synthesis. 1 note on the guitar into a universe of sound.

PacSci is hosting our label @restlessplanet_ tomorrow, itās such a cool opportunity and I hope many of you are able to join us in this unique setting!
The first video you see here shows a couple machines I use to produce largely all of my work, one of those tracks you hear now, āNo Expectationsā - @patchwerks really came through having that Digitakt on-hand some years ago. Thank you Patchwerks team! Excited to share the space with you tomorrow evening as well.
One final disclaimer - Restless Planet has a digital VA (various artist) release coming out soon, hosting some real talent.. be on the lookout! I plan to play one or two unreleased tracks at this event!
Two Seattle lifers.
One lunar module.
One closing set.
From the legacy of Flammable and Rebar to the late-night mischief of Restless Planet and Makes Me Human, we're fusing timelines.
Surf & Garf are landing at the Pacific Science Center this Friday for Sound Lab.
Expect a high-energy touchdown and a rocket-fueled finish.
Catch us on the moon (or at least beneath it).
7ā11 PM. Closing set.

Sound Lab is a new evening experience in one of Seattleās most iconic spaces - a blend of music, community, and interactive science. Weāll be sharing art from the label, giving away merch, and playing original music across an immersive 4-hour journey.
With support from Patchwerks (synth petting zoo!), stunning architecture, and a stacked local lineup - this one feels special.
