Re: NW006 - UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER - STERILE GARDEN

If there’s anything I can empathize with, it’s the challenging, nigh-Sisyphean task of wrangling older material together into something acceptable to your present-day standards. That’s why I have to give SG credit for actually making Unconditional Surrender a reality, even if it’s not very good. The...

Re: NW005 - DESK HORSE - VASECTOMY PARTY

Two brief blasts of serviceable mono noise, with heavy use of micro-looping accomplished by what sounds like a digital delay effect. Now I don’t dislike digital delay or looping in principle: I use it all the time, and it’s because I use it all the time that I’m able to see how the metaphorical saus...

Re: NW004 - BEYOND NORMAL PERCEPTIBLE REALITY - DEMONS THAT DROVE

I wasn’t familiar with Demons That Drove’s work prior to this, but their style fits right in with the times these tracks were recorded; this is the kind of stuff you'd typically come across on a noise netlabel circa the late-00's. I might’ve been blown away by it back when it was released, but now I...

Re: NW003 - DEPTH OF FIELD - PHILIP MANTIONE

Philip Mantione's Depth of Field is an interesting albeit incongruous collection of mostly experimental noise and ambient tracks. I say it's "incongruous" and a "collection" because it lacks a certain thematic cohesion I typically expect out of an album . “Social Immune System” i...

Re: Auto-shutoff methods in consumer-grade circuitry

Found a much cooler solution to this that'll give me control of the sample rate(?) to boot: more on that later. Well I guess that didn't pan out but what were you trying? Okay, so I'm going to address this in two parts: first, the 'sample rate' mod, then how I set up the power/reset circuit which i...

Re: Build Shit - DIY - What's On Your Bench?

Feeling kind of bummed out since my most recent project unexpectedly imploded in on itself, so as a pick-me-up, I made a dedicated power starve! 060423 power starve (voltage sag) dedicated build.jpg Results may vary––seems to work best with older fuzzes--but it feels good to finally get it crossed o...

Re: Auto-shutoff methods in consumer-grade circuitry

Bad news: the stock crystal/oscillator is now damaged beyond repair (leads snapped at the hilt) and because there were zero markings on it the only option to replace it is to buy the whole goddamn toy again. I'm not exactly flush with cash right now so I'm sorry to say I have to cut my losses with t...

Re: Youtube guy does a tour of Crochambeau's studio.

False advertising! There’s a similar surplus mini-chain in the Midwest called American Science and Surplus that I’ve raves about in the past, but I have to admit this Ax Man store has quite the tantalizing selection. Nothing like this in Ireland? EDIT: this one also appears to be a mini-chain, and n...
