TANELER by boorch First Steps

video upload by Fedir Tkachov Music

"Today is a very good day because a new app TANELER by boorch (Bruce Menace / Cometary Trails) finally got released! https://boorch.itch.io/taneler

This recording is my first go at it. I found some improvised abstract vocoder recordings from another project, and a bass loop I once made, and as if by magic all these layers worked really well. It's a very simple setup, there's even no lfo modulation used.

In the meantime, my latest album 'Uncut Jams' is yours for the taking on bandcamp!"

(Teaser) Taneler v0.1.0 - An ambient loop workstation in your terminal

via https://boorch.itch.io/dronage-terminal

A drone workstation for the terminal, featuring 4x famously open sourced macro oscillator synth module whose name must not be spoken, extensive modulation capabilities, and custom tailored effects including a granular delay.

The screenshots demonstrate how the tool looks like when it's launched through Rio Terminal, an amazing terminal emulator that supports RetroArch shaders. For clarity, Rio Terminal is NOT a requirement.

I highly recommend downloading a Nerd Font (like JetBrains Mono Nerd) and using it on your preferred terminal emulator to make sure all special characters used in the UI id splayed as expected though.

There's a README.md file included in the downloads. It's in Markdown format. It's human-readable with any text editor, but I strongly suggest using an app that supports Markdown format to view it with better formatting. Worst case scenario, you can paste it into a Markdown viewer website like this to read it properly.

Crazy Chicken Modular SHRIMPY filter musical demonstration

video upload by Fedir Tkachov Music

"Musical exploration of new eurorack filter by Crazy Chicken Modular - SHRIMPY."

Shrimpy is a fully analog multimode voltage-controlled filter with three simultaneous audio outputs: low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass. It was designed with a strong focus on character rather than neutrality.

The resonance is voiced to emphasize midrange frequencies, giving the filter a present, expressive tone that cuts through a mix. At higher settings, it becomes vivid and assertive without collapsing into thinness.

At the heart of Shrimpy lies an unusual distortion chain integrated directly into the filter core. This distortion adds a pleasant crunch, enriching the sound. When pushed further, it can turn glitchy and rustling, introducing rough textures and unstable edges that make the filter feel alive. It should be noted that the distortion sound characteristics will depend on the Shrimpy settings and the input signal, since distortion occurs in the filter core itself, rather than at its input or output.

All parameters are fully voltage-controllable:
Cutoff frequency (with and without attenuator)
Resonance
Distortion amount

This makes Shrimpy a flexible yet opinionated sound processing tool, well suited for experimental patches, aggressive basses, textured leads, drones, and evolving soundscapes."

Ambient performance on Arturia Minifreak and Linnstrument

video upload by Fedir Tkachov Music

"A friend and colleague surprised me today by bringing his Minifreak to me to play for a week or so. I tried different engines and patch ideas, and eventually this simple idea emerged - I have the hold button on, and the cycling envelope opens up the filter, forming this beautiful fake arpeggio-sequence. On the Linnstrument side of things I use one of my own patches for alpha-beta version of OB-XF by Surge Synth team."

Linnstrument + Bass Station 2

"The plan for today was to check up on my cello, but I got consumed by this."

"At this point I'm only curious how the things would end. Pressure is mounting, the world is an interesting place right now. Check out my second album 'No Overthinking' on bandcamp, if you're into that kind of thing."
