I saw that, I'm probably going to leave it for a bit as a couple of people in the FB group have noted some issues and every time I update I have to delete all the presets which get uploaded before loading all mine back on, and doing that three times is a pain in the neck

Yeah, I want to dive in but I have plenty of other stuff to keep me busy and I'm seeing some reports of bugginess, but I'm wondering if that's with users who are just less experienced with the pedal. The folks who have been long time experts all seem to be loving the new update.

I played a show yesterday (solo noise set), this recording was a set-up run through from a couple of days prior: https://soundcloud.com/crochambeau/peda ... pt2022trim

I'm getting ever closer to my target of 200 albums on Bandcamp by the end of the year, this is #54

https://sonickoalas.bandcamp.com/album/ ... -platforms

I added up the numbers so far and it's quite impressive/crazy depending on how you look at it

2020 - 32 albums / 261 tracks
2021 - 100 albums / 940 tracks
2020 - 54 albums / 328 tracks

so 186 albums and 1,529 tracks so far

Not sure what I'm going to do after that, but I doubt I'll stray too far from what I'm doing now as it feels like my thing, and I like making and listening to it.

My band's (Microwaves) new album can be streamed at the link.

FYI, post COVID, our bassist of nearly 10 years quit, and our 4th bassist (Adam MacGregor, of Creation Is Crucifixion, Conrad, Brown Angel) returned for half of the record and to play live shows. Our original bassist, Steve Moore (Zombi, Lovelock, etc) plays on the other half.

Guests include Rebecca Burchette of Multicult, Eric Paul of Arab On Radar/Chinese Stars/Doomsday Student/Psychic Graveyard, Sarah Quintero of Spotlights and Todd Rittman of US Maple/Dead Rider.

I played a show last night and since it was essentially a sequenced work I was able to get a clean recording after the fact: https://soundcloud.com/crochambeau/view ... t20oct2022

Very nice! I just listened to the Tetsuo Complete Box by Chu Ishikawa and some parts of your set had similar vibes.

That is a solid block of praise, my humble thanks!

Here's album #68 of 2022, which brings my grand total to 200 in three years

Hey everyone! Once more a bunch of ILF'ers have grouped together to make an album of ambient explorations!

Ten participants submitted fragments or musical stems; these were mixed/edited/reassembled into tracks by eight of those artists.

Any proceeds from this album will be donated towards ILF's hosting costs, but I think we'd all be happy enough if you just gave it a listen!

Okta: Ambient Collaborations 4

Played one my fave local improvised music series tonight. It's has a pretty democratic/open concept idea of "self-curation": the organizer posts a blank spreadsheet and you sign up and then you play a 20-minute set with whoever else has signed up for your set.

I brought along lyre and circuit-bent Speak&Spell + a Pladask-heavy array of pedals. Think it came out okay... I felt I was a bit less in sync at the start, but it fell together increasingly as the set went along, thanks to a piano player with good pitch who zoned in to where the other noises were.



(or, more directly, timestamped link here: https://youtu.be/hB6hM39znd4?t=5452)

(I'd recommend all the other sets, which were all quite good, though sadly, the sound didn't get recorded for the first two.)

This is actually pretty good! Put it on air this morning in the office.
The general idea of the 20min set with whoever signs up is intriguing

It works out surprisingly well most of the time, musically speaking. And as a social experience, it's very good... gives you a chance to play with people who aren't just your same group of friends and to have to face different musical mindsets.

I captured this mostly to test the recording rig I was setting up for some rehearsals + jams over the holidays, but I'm actually pretty stoked with the sounds that were coming out.
