Last year at Machina Bristronica I gave a talk about distortion and they finally posted it up on Youtube. I haven't watched it since listening to myself talk is super weird but I bet it's pretty good and extremely wide ranging. I had a ton of fun at the fest last year, wasn't planning on going this year just due to the amount of travel but maybe if someone twists my arm real hard I will.

I just got back from Superbooth where I spent 3 days making hard kick drums with Julien (Stazma) and showing off our new module the Boundary Layer... I'm still jet lagged though and might keep the rest of the Boundary Layer info until you can buy it (soon!). In the mean time here is another video full of hard kicks and one of me talking about the 4 bit binary system.    

In a new Schlappy Patching from Stazma he shows a method of adding rolls, fills, and variations to any gate or logic pattern using the BTMX (as well as Nibbler and BTFLD).  

Hi all, it's been a bit since I've updated, had my head down working on some big projects I may or may not have ready in time for Superbooth as well as at least one thing that will be ready. I am teaching a workshop at the Synth Library on March 22 about our binary system and logic patching in general. I will also be playing some shows in April, an afterparty for the Synth and Pedal fest on the 13th and a still TBA show planned for the 19th. Stazma has been continuing the Schlappy Patching series (which we...

I stumbled across this Youtube videos on Modwiggler where creator Erik Hinton writes a program to figure out what settings on the Nibbler will generate specific Clave rhythms (referenced in the  Godfried T.

Hopefully he will keep going down this wormhole as I'm finding this fascinating, now I have some new patches to try!
