Jamuary 28th 2026 - The Posthuman

video upload by Captain Credible

"In a very roundabout and confused way this piece attempts to tackle the topic of technological darwinism. Will we end? Can I fit all my soul into the machine or is something lost to posterity ? Does 'psychological continuity matter' or will my digital offspring be just fine?
As an LLM I once knew put it: 'The you that uploads still dies.' I told it it was being creepy and that it should chill out.

Jamuary 26th 2026 - HOLD KJEFT ft. Thomas Bergsten

video upload by Captain Credible and Gunerius Quack

"Not really a song, more really just two grown men arguing about trackers. Who can tracker the most tracks? Who has the biggest tracker? Whose tracker is loudest? All important questions that need to be answered. Hold kjeft dette hakke du no greie på! #polyendtracker x2 #rolandp6 #op1"

Q119 Driving Juno‑6 & MS-10

video upload by rimela

"A quick experiment using the Dotcom Q119 sequencer in random mode to clock the Roland Juno‑6 and feed its filter input. One of the Q119 rows also drives the Korg MS‑10 to generate shifting random intervals. Pure analog unpredictability."

Jamuary 24th 2026 - New Age, New Thangs ft. Julian Skar

video upload by Captain Credible

"New age vibes. They are arguably most vibey vibes of all time. How could we possibly amp up the vibes betond this? Beat Thang. That is how. Beat thang and airhorns, the dopest musical concepts in human history. Some would argue this totally ruins the vibe. Those people are wrong. This was a sound choice."

"Here is a sweet and quite amazing Jupiter 6.. fully checked and tech'd by one of our amazing technicians. It is in excellent functional condition and looks great as well.

The Jupiter 6 to many is not a synth that is inferior to the Jupiter 8, but rather compliments ANY other Roland synth. It has it's own voice and it sings quite nicely : ) From boomin basses, searing leads, the most lush pads and strings and no much more that it can seem limitless. Add to that, such an elegant build quality. This synth was designed with no limits. Decades later, it still delivers such an amazing sound to live sets and studios. Add it to yours!"
