Perfection is a road full of litter

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I had high hopes when I started this jam yesterday. Unfortunately nothing went according to plan. Or could I say fortunately? It's unwise to try something complicated when there's no time to do it. But it's also a great way to learn from it, to make the necessary decisions and finish it. I never cared much about perfection, therefore my modules get dusty and sometimes I don't even screw them in place. There's no perfect modular layout, no perfect patch, no perfect workflow or workplace. There's no perfect music (except maybe J. Cage's 4'33). In a way, this is a video that didn't work out and I usually would not post it. But during #Jamuary2024, it's all about videos like this. I'll be doing something simple tomorrow. After that, I have no idea. I think I'll make a video to document that process. There are tons of new ideas out there. I just need to find them."

video upload by Stazma

"Today i'll be showing you one of the most crazy eurorack module made last year: FX Boy by Befaco.
I'll be using it as an extension of the Doepfer Basic System 3, with it's little friend Voltio on as a sidekick, and I'll process EVERYTHING throught it, in order to create materials to then organise a little session in Ableton Live.

Have fun!"

Buchla Music Easel - Low-Gain | Repair testing

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Took far too long to get all the parts required to fix my Easel, and only and glue to actually fix it. I can finally take it home! One of the preset controls on the 218R is messed up but I’ll fix that later. Time to have some fun!"

TheHappyWombat's Omnichord inspired MIDI Controller

video upload by TheHappyWombat

"A capacitive touch-based MIDI controller inspired by the omnichord, with a slightly different control layout. The 12 keys select the root note, and the 10 buttons on the side select chord quality, up to 9th chords. The buttons latch, so you don't have to hold your hand on the keys the entire time, and you don't need to press them simultaneously either.

The sound I'm running here is the Box Harp from the Decent Sampler plugin (https://www.decentsamples.com/product...)"
