video upload by tworoundrobins

"returning to norns scripts with a bit of mashing on stwnsh, the latest from the amazing developer @sonocircuit

you can easily record stuff into norns and just mash audio channels into each other, creating a cacophony of wacky rate changes and fun clocked interplay.
enjoy!

ambient talkie: ep 46 - nameless nightmare on norns

video upload by tworoundrobins

"endlessly impressed by the norns / lines community producing such lovely scripts. this time I'm being a pretentious horror fan and "try" to equate the philosophy of cosmic horror / weird fiction with a script - that I'm pretty sure is not connected to any of my ramblings regarding lovecraftian horrors. anywho...absolutely lovely soundscapes in this one.

ambient talkie: ep 42 - messiaen A BIRD DELAY norns script

video upload by tworoundrobins

"well it's finally here - a bird delay/looper/esoteric script made with @sonocircuit

this was quite a journey and I'm so happy we are finally releasing the birds from their nest to do weird chirpy stuff on your nornses.

in this episode I present a bit about the making of the script and what inspired it, but there is a basic guide that runs for the chunk of the video.

larping as a skin-walker (NORNS perception 0.6 DESCRIPTIVE JAM)

video upload by tworoundrobins

"perception is a script I'm currently working on and I thought I'd give a little presentation what it's all about, since I find the aspect of time perception in animals really interesting. the main idea came from a Ben Jordan's video on the subject and further reading about CFF and temporal resolution. if you'd like to give it a spin follow the gitHub link!

thank you so much for sticking around. enjoy!

mistake in video: should be Benn Jordan, not Ben. Apologies!"

ambient talkie: ep 37 - norns & data sonification

video upload by tworoundrobins

"i always try to find interesting ways of generating sound...here is where data sonification comes in. although this is quite a new topic for me and I'll definitely dive deeper, just to satisfy my curiosity if nothing else, I thought that giving a quick overview on some data sonification based scripts might make a nice little episode. enjoy!

ambient talkie: ep 35 - PLINKY!

video upload by tworoundrobins

"ever since I saw loopop's video on Plinky I wanted to own one but since it was never in stock and the second hand units cost an arm and a leg I was never able to play on one. well, Plinky has since went fully open source and once I remembered that this thing is now ready to go I was more than happy to see people building them - I took the opportunity and got myself a lovely clone "plinki" which is functionally completely the same as its original V2. in this episode I try to present a basic overview into a very promising ambient companion."

lil ambient sesh - *moving day* (NORNS rachim JAM)

video upload by tworoundrobins

"deep apologies, but no talkie this week. I heavily underestimated how much work moving flats would take me...I did manage to record a short jam however and will be returning to talkies next week! thank you for your patience and and thank you for sticking around!

i'm using a new script by infinitedigits called rachim and it sounds massive! it's using it's own SC engine and the ears don't fool you - it does sound absolutely wonderful. do give it a spin!

it's what kept me sane (PLINKY & NORNS JAM)

video upload by tworoundrobins

"always wanted a plinky but since they weren't available until it became open source, I hadn't had the pleasure of trying out one. Mikalojus Smulskis from SoundNest made a whole batch and seeing the opportunity I quickly jumped on it and got myself this wonderful little device."

ambient talkie: ep 33 - NORNS standard vs shield

video upload by tworoundrobins

"due to popular demand, here are my personal thoughts on norns shield and norns standard. where do they differ? what are their similarities? etc...

i try to present my experience with both devices and hopefully this will give you a bit of a clue when deciding which one might be the right for you.

#norns #monome #ambient #tutorial

monome
if you want a standard norns you can get it direclty from directly from their site and this way support monome https://monome.org

build a norns shield
sadly, as of publishing this video, I believe that due to worldwide chip shortages monome is not offering any more norns shields. however, you can build one yourself.

Part I here

"this is part II of episode 32...new shenanigans and fun stuff included."

"I remember when I first got an organelle I downloaded a million of patches and organised them into sub categories, but soon after I completely forgot which one's I have, have used and what they do. in this more "freeform" episode I explore some of these SYNTH patches, the one category i rarely use on organelle. hope this will be fun for y'all and enjoy the video!

best to start simple (NORNS orgnwrms JAM)

video upload by tworoundrobins

"this little script is a powerhouse and still one of the best ways to use solely norns with a grid. shape the orgn sound and just throw it into the wacky delay lines of wrms - i find this quite enjoyable and at times almost magical. this is not jamuary, but rather a jam in good fun where noodles are literally the only things on the menu.
