Next gig by the space-poetry-music-duo Karkia Walo, consisting of myself and @JariKakela, takes place in Archipelacon Nordic Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention on Friday 27. On the Saturday, we will also be talking about the Karkia Walo project in Archipelacon's Academic Track.

Welcome!

I'm convinced that anyone who enjoys playing with #modularsynth is very much in touch with their inner child.

Because let me tell you, my inner 8 year old is practically SQUEE-ing with delight at the teeny tiny little VCO <-> Delay <-> Sequencer loop I created using #vcvrack

Make no mistake, you can't dance to this, and it's not THAT cool on its face... BUT I made it in 3-4 minutes of twiddling, and I am having a BALL with this software.

My hope is that this will eventually wend its way back to the Akai #midi keyboard I tried to teach myself to play piano on, and I think it will, but for now I am enjoying making crazy sounds with voltage, oscillators and the like immensely.

@norootcause This may seem niche, but The Modular Synthesizer.

Invented in the 1950s and then ushered into reality by Moog and Buchla in the '60s, then soon by Roland. Used by all your favorite jam bands of the '70s, but very expensive and not reaching nearly the popularity of its contemporary blossoming technology, The Electric Guitar.

All sorts of brands came out with modulars, but it wasn't until the '90s that Dieter Doepfer's "Eurorack" - a "miniature" format for modular - began to infiltrate the scene.

Fast forward to 2025, and Eurorack has become the most popular format, it dominates electronic music with all the brands and DIY being done. There is no serious electronic musician without a modular, and it is probably one of many.
