Watercolor

In July I decided to try my hand at watercolor. I love the ghost-like flow it imbues upon my drawings.




Some I haven't painted yet, one of the above before painting, and one being painted with my two best friends in the background:

Glitchbent Noise & Drone in the Studio

This is a lengthy clip of me making some textural drone and noise:

NOTE: First half is mainly guitar, second half is mainly circuit-bent devices.

This is a more-visible, mini "tech demo" of me making some glitch noise and drone noise:


The 2nd one has glitch beats edited into the very end, as is typical with my videos. Everything in these videos is done with pedals, baritone guitar, custom noise-makers and circuit-bent toys; no audio editing. I split my hi and low signals into two separate amps, with all my delay/reverb on the hi amp.

PS: The synth I use in these videos is detailed here.

LEGOmonster (my first circuit bend)

The LEGOmonster is the very first thing I circuit bent, years ago.
I used a set of computer speakers for the main unit, with a single-button toy patched in.
Be sure to check out the "sick beat" at the end. I am planning on updating the LEGOMonster with what I've learned since I made it, so I thought it would be good to archive how it initially worked.


PS: I got a tattoo (again).

Drawings & Pen Case

Here are some recent drawings:

(that first one is for someone special)



See the full set here.

I noticed that the plastic cases that Micron pens come in fall apart so quickly; so I scrapped together my own from padded pleather:

PS: Sorry about the lack of electronics updates! My soldering iron keeps randomly cooling down one moment, and then working again the next. It is quite frustrating. Any tips?
