Synthux Spotykach Dual Looper and Teenage Engineering OP-1

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"I was talking with a friend about audio restoration few days ago, and I realized this is how I’ve always thought about it: you can only restore what was once beautiful. If beauty was never part of the original, there’s only so much you can recover.

I feel the same way about electronic music.

For me, electronics are not a substitute for emotion or imagination. They are an extension of them. They magnify what is already there: the resonance of a piano, the sound of hail falling on a balcony, the breath hidden inside a recording.

The real magic isn’t that electronics can create another reality.
It’s that they remind us this one is already full of extraordinary sounds—and that, with imagination, we can transform them into something even more beautiful.
Or at least in my case."

Kiviak Instruments WoFI

"I’m starting to get familiar with the WoFi by Kiviak Instruments and the first thing that really sparked my creativity is the combination of the playback modes with a specific sequencer function called Cue Points mode.
In practice, you can define split points or slices within a recorded sample and trigger those sections directly from the sequencer pads. This gives you up to 16 distinct segments that you can access and play instantly. The result is extremely is a very inspiring workflow."

"I’m only on page 15 of the Cymaforma Alt manual yet I’m already completely sold. There’s so much left to uncover, but this instrument has instantly earned its place alongside my Prophet 6 and Buchla Easel in my new live setup."

"Elektron just dropped a new firmware for the Tonverk unlocking Grainer, a brand-new granular engine. [see the announcement post here]
I couldn’t be happier for granular has always been my home base, and seeing it land on a device that’s becoming essential to my workflow feels like a gift (I take it for my birthday!).
I have watched their tutorial on YT and spent less than a hour digging into it and here the result: sculpted noisy, grain-saturated layers that intentionally rub against the cleaner, more refined machines that appear halfway through. A small piece about tension and contrast, basically how I feel today :)"

Grainer Tutorial // Granular on Tonverk with OS 1.1.0

video upload by Elektron

"Dive into Tonverk's new granular machine, Grainer, with this thorough tutorial from Risa T. OS 1.1.0 introduces this playful tool - alongside a host of fixes and improvements - letting you break your sample into the tiniest grains and reassemble it into new textures, strange rhythms, or continuous, evolving tones. Risa explores Grainer's parameters, as they easily open the door to wide-ranging soundscapes, shaped slowly or dialled in almost instantly, and puts together some sweet musical demonstrations via the machine's different Play Modes.

Elektron Tonverk and Piano

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"There’s a peculiar stillness in being liminal — like standing at the edge of two worlds, neither belonging to what was nor to what will be. It’s the quiet ache of transformation, where certainty dissolves and possibility hums just beneath the skin. In that threshold, time feels suspended, and identity, momentarily unanchored, begins to listen to its own becoming."

"You can hide memories, but you can't erase the history that produced them. If nothing else, you need to remember that. You can't erase history, or change it. It would be like destroying yourself.
(Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage)"

"So, essentially my contribution was to introduce repetition into Western music as the main ingredient without any melody over it, without anything just repeated patterns, musical patterns.

Chompi Club and Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus 2

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"I spent the whole summer working on the soundtrack of a new immersive show that carried me to a distant country—one that feels strangely close to my own world. Along the way, I discovered words and images I had never known, yet they started resonating within me, offering sudden, immense epiphanies.
Today I sat down without a storyboard to guide me, and I played—reliving in sound this paradoxical time: absurdly still, yet absurdly alive."

Love when something that looks completely alien ends up sounding like a real, playable instrument.

Teenage Engineering OP-XY and Torso Electronics S4

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"It’s been a few days since the new S4 firmware dropped, so I thought I’d give it another chance. Still needs the classic off-and-on ritual. Still forgets to record audio — which, you know, might be kind of a big deal for an instrument. Still, little things here and there.
But this isn’t a rant!
Just a gentle reminder that we’ve reached a strange point where we buy gear that could be amazing… but acts more like a moody teenager on one of their don’t-talk-to-me days.
That said, today — against all odds — I actually had fun.
So here’s the video: proof that even a problematic guy can have his minutes of glory."
