what is jazz? indeed, what is any genre, really?

Today, I submitted my book 367 days after signing the contract. It has been an intense, exciting, boring, distressing, depressing, and uplifting process. A bit of everything over a year, but I'm so proud of myself for pushing through. The book will be out in 2025.

Now, to figure out what to do with my time and my hands...

Any recommendations for nice Tape Echo style plugins under 50 credits I should try?

So far I've tested Cherry Audio Stardust 201, UAD Galaxy, Imaginando K7D, Softube Tube Delay, Waves HDelay, Softube Tape Echoes and Pulsar Echorec.

My current favourites are:
3. Softube Tape Echoes: slightly too clean Melos type echo
2. Pulsar Echorec: Nice Binson emulation

1. UAD Galaxy: Much better Space Echo than the Cherry Audio version

Some recent drystone work. A complete strip out and rebuild of this garden retaining wall which failed after only 30 years due to traced stone. All stone reused and we brought in some local fieldstone too.

Super sustainable, beautiful, lasts for generations. What's not to like?

#DrystoneWaller #Sustainable #DeepAdaptation

A drystone wall with lots of differently shaped and sized stones that all fit together like a jigsaw.
A run down drystone wall in front of a house, there are stones lying on the ground around it and a red bucket full of stone too.
A close up shot of a ruined drystone wall. Some stones are missing and others and falling out of the wall.

on one of my teardown videos on youtube, someone just commented that instead of a teardown it was "More like a pet dog destroying a shoe." and it may be the greatest comment i've ever received

Fashionably late here's my contribution to #303day: 🙃

It's a remix of my first #Image2BonkWave track (originally created with @yonder's incredible #Python script).

This version is still based on the original MIDI file, but is more of an #Electro beat with a bunch of added live-tweaked stuff, including a fairly restrained TD-3 bassline.

Check out the original and links to the tool in this thread: https://chaos.social/@axwax/111755742989800569

Yeah, so I made this in #KoalaSampler using audio snippets from 1971 TV commercials including a ludicrously stretched out sample of Joanne Worley laughing, a woman talking about Lipton Tea, and a car commercial.

All turned into a menacing sci-fi #horror track.

In space no one can hear you sample.
