ANALOGTOBER 2025 Analog electronic music composed and produced every day of October; I've been doing this for the past 3 years. This is a compilation of everything done last year. I also edited together archive footage to accompany the songs. Many of these will be further expanded upon and cleaned up for a proper future release. May combine this compilation with 2023 and 2024 for a big YT upload. Full list of equipment used in alphabetical order: Alesis SR-16 Boss DS-330 E-mu Proteus/1 Korg 05R/W Korg Volca Bass Korg Volca Keys Novation MiniNova Roland EM-101 Roland MC-505 Roland R-5 Roland TR-505 Roland U-220 Sennheiser e835 Yamaha MU50 Yamaha RX17 Yamaha RY9 Zoom RT-234 All tracks mixed on a Roland VS-1680 mixer. MIDI-controlled via FL Studio 11 through a MOTU Micro Lite.

@Average_Joe_97 Albums with title tracks are kind of cliché but they do work

@ACTGaudio One of the greatest song names you have is The Lone Raver eh.

No one remembers any song I've made by name

@CuckSwarm Squobbins is no glemmers that's for sure

@ACTGaudio same but i name all my songs shit like "squobbins" so that it's hard to remember any of them

between the hours of 1-9pm because I have work now

I'm done making music. No more music

@LSD_mothman It's still a jar, folks. A jar all the way.

I think the reason I have no affinity towards "theory" for music is because I view it in terms of language. A lot of times it's more expedient, or more appropriate, to speak without formalities. It's no big sacrifice as far as understanding. Also, speaking fluently is more of a challenge than writing in a new tongue. There are colloquialisms and eccentricities that aren't fully communicated when you study something in a format so far removed from real-world application. There has to be some kind of fluid experience of "feeling out" conversations and context, like there is with melodies, dissonance, tonality, etc. in songs. I don't despise people for learning theory, because it's just a formal way of communicating things with a more universal language. At the same time, what good is it to know how to speak when you have nothing to say?

Was reminded of this the other day

@Magnarancia I'm going to get a full English breakfast (hold the blood sausage) as soon as Lent is over because of this post

British food is fine enough with this lame ass meme

@GoooNakayama 日本語がよく話しません、でも ドモアリガトございます！🙏

Some concept art for a short film I've been chipping away at and haven't touched in a while. Called 'Wake Up Dog' - A nightmarish tale about a dog who becomes sentient from a tiki voodoo curse, unravelling the dark truth of is psycho owner and questions his loyalty.

@derpism Sounds like the theme of a really cool guy...

20260313 風呂前の鳴らし。 astrolabとosmose。 こういうのをグルボ勢の中に混じって鳴らしてみたい欲。これもmachine LIVE。

@GoooNakayama It's dreamy but the rhythm chugs along like a factory, oddly soothing. Very nice

休日朝の小曲。 monotribeをMicrofreakのCV/GATEで鳴らす。 monotribeは名の通りモノシンセなのだけれど、Microfreakをポリで弾くとなんだかポリっぽい感じに。 エフェクトはAnalogHeat+FX🎶

Yeah I'm a musician I play the toy the doohickey the gadget and I'm even starting to pick up the gizmo

playing with the Mininova to RT-234 grooves

@Arminiensis Very well put, I don't see this as conflicting with my OP so much as complementing it, like a silver lining to the whole issue

@ACTGaudio Especially with AI I think it’s exposing this cesura which already previously existed where in order to make money people sacrifice honesty and integrity for popularization and commissioning, they’re not ready to witness any sacrificing and just try to find some Other to blame

Upset thinking about how many good artists are probably not given the time of day because they don't churn out fanart of popular franchises

at least i think it is
