trying to figure out where the RC-505 fits into the setup so lots of experimenting to see what works and what doesn’t and what I can actually do with it..both in a live setup as well as “creator” mode. Both mixes are quite stomping, “Fire up reactor” is sorta verging on schranz even. “You ain’t it” is testing the live-remixing possibiities of something I’d recorded earlier on the 505 to see if i could l could produce a twisted version of it live from the original samples, condensed into a ~3min single track. I’ll post the original if i can find a decent version

Sorry about the un-polished nature of this video, I was partway through editing it when my hard drive died and i’ve not been able to restore the backups yet, so imperfect as it is, I thought I’d just upload it as is otherwise I’d probably end up doing nothing. This is new a MIDI instrument/expression controller I built called “EntroPea” (aka the electric hedgehog) which I’ve been working on to control various vintage synths using ultrasound sensors measuring distance, and arm-waving, piped through to midi signals.
I love my Behringer TD3 and Roland TB-303 but they both require you to prepare patterns before you can play, there’s no on-the-fly editing and I find that can mean you just keep doing the same stuff over and over or have to be very organised with your patterns, which I am not.
The Korg EA1 lets you edit on the fly but has no accent/velocity and that’s something i use a lot so isn’t much use really. bababaBOWbababaBOW – gotta have the accents.
The Futureretro 777 is the only one which lets you edit patterns on the fly (and does it extremely well) but it has so many knobs that you’re basically starting from scratch every time anyway sound-wise. Coming back to a sound isn’t really a thing on that because the range of sounds it can make is so huge and bizzarre.
Anyway – re this device, I wanted something where you could (somewhat) intuitively throw together a short pattern of a few bars (to sample) or to use as an expressionate lead, either on its own/layered up with delays/fx for chilled music, or perhaps over another 303 or something like the futureretro 777 so then you’d get the mix of patterns plus random extra wibbly lead bits.
I just stumbled on this folder full of images of snapshots taken from the Adultwork camming software (at the time). Between calls I’d take pics and quite a few of them ended up here. So these are all stills from my outgoing cam feed on AW at the time. I’ll hopefully add to this cos there’s loads of them and I won’t get them all picked out tonight
So this is further experimentation into the art of hypno. Fair warning i can only do what comes naturally and try to guide that. What actually comes out in the moment isn’t something i really get to decide specifically beforehand.
This is made with my specific subs in mind and is made to tickle their minds, so if it’s not 100% for you then sorry but that’s how it is. My subs get my attention first. If you want my attention perhaps you should show me how you can make my life better 🙂
Apart from the glowing image of me pleasuring myself this is not particularly explicit but it *is* intimate. Which imho is more important.
So as a porn consumer you may or may not be aware that any site which has credit card processing is strictly limited in the type of content it can sell. Every site which has credit card processing has to undergo a compliance review before it goes live, and is subject to periodic/random spot checks on an ongoing basis after that.
There’s a whole range of terms (and matching content) which you’re not even allowed to *mention* on a site. Terms like pissing, hypno, intox etc can get your merchant account suspended and you won’t be able to process payments anymore. Game over.
Even mentioning those terms in a blog or having them in tags (just like above) would already result in a stern email from the compliance department and would have to be removed immediately.
This is the first attempt at using the Kaoss pads as ‘decks’ and trying to actually turn individual tracks/ideas into a somewhat coherent mix, still all hardware and all live and mostly improvised. Run time: 1:10 hrs
So as some of you probably know there’s been an awful lot of death and sickness in those around me the last few years as well as all the covid bullshit and my own physical/mental health issues (as a result of that), and honestly it kinda fucked me up pretty badly for quite a long time.
