^Not a very good one, unfortunately.

Anyway, I have always fancied MIDI sound modules. I've said it in the past, but I used to fantasize about having a huge rack of them with the goal of having a zillion timbres at my fingertips. Priorities change, but it's still a cool idea to me. Anyway, ever since I fried the first AG-10 I bought, I have become a bit obsessed with hoarding them:

In truth, I only own three now, including the one I bricked and now use as a pretty but almost functionally worthless riser for other gear).

I still haven't figured out how to get under the hood and really modify the sounds with modern PC/DAW software, and the manual isn't hugely informative (or else I just don't glean much in my general ignorance). Apparently some ancient sound editing software exists, though?

Regardless, I still have a major soft spot for bread-and-butter GM modules. Definitely a nostalgia thing. Makes me feel inspired to attempt writing morbid Neoclassical pop songs a la David E. Williams.

Eventually, I need to take a photo of all three modules together.

PS: I think I meant to post this in the "Exciting gear photos" thread! :?

PPS: I fucking quoted myself again. I've realized it's because I tend to edit posts after logging out, and don't pay attention to the fact that the quote button is the only one that appears while logged out.

Can confirm.

There also comes a sick delight when the next generation gets excited about certain facets of sound as medium...


I added a pickup mic to their bongo drums with some pedals - distortion, echo and fuzz. I let them play around for a while which was fun. Youngest just turned 3 but he definitely seems more keen on rhythm and dancing about than his elder brother ever has.

Introduce your children to noise at a young age so they don't grow up to be bellends with no understanding of subjectivity. It's your moral imperative.
Even if you took a few years and learned all the chords you'd still have a limited number of options. If you ignore the chords your options are infinite and you can master guitar playing in one day. - David Fair

It's my theory that children are born with a predisposition towards "noise" since they hear "noise" inside the womb and they sell noise machines to help them sleep.. I even use one to help me sleep.. lots of people do including ones not into "noise"

Be careful -aware- posting noise with kids as some highminded dogooder could accuse you or suggest what you did is child abuse...like I was when I posted a recording of my then girlfriends kid screaming and of course the goof that said that is long gone from noise.

Do check out...
Nervous Gender live at target for thier kid drummer
One of the 2 or 3 peach of immortality vids from the 1980s has a little girl on stage screaming
Then there is the punk band Eater that had a 10 year old drummer...and I think there's a few videos of that not to mention the all kid punk band Old Skull

But yeah put those rugrats to work entertaining us!
