A real beauty.
Here she is using her usual electronic setup, the voice goes into an old Kaos Pad:

I’ve watched the vid again this morning, and cried.
Even more emotional when you anticipate the rise.
This is so beautiful.

Been building around the concept of “improvised hip-hop with synthesizers” for around a year. I found myself get stuck in loops and mixing stage for years and decided to just cut the middle man out by going to live improv streaming. Using a launchpad (scale mode to keep things cohesive and quick) into OT for drums and midi with a vermona perfourmer/micromonsta 2. Ableton live lite as mixer (no sequencing, but provides cue, compression and EQ) with valhalla vintage., goal is to improvise a beat up and move on in about 5 mins, result is kinda jazzy lofi. Opens with a premade beat to set the vibe and then let it fly. Still more repetitive that I want and not always good, but them’s the breaks:

join me (aka there’s too many records in there for one human alone) as we hunt for amazing drummers and new proto-breakbeats on the internet archive’s 78 rpm repository.
loop, post produce (removing the crackle and pushing the kick and shining the snares) and share here. maybe this should be a new thread…
loading them into a 12bit sampler probably won’t harm the situation if there’s a bit of shellac noise left. BRR can really loosen them up. If you use any in a track please share.
here’s one from Sid to get us going.

You got me looking.
Maybe not in the same pre-breakbeat spirit but an amazing drummer, Max Roach:

This sounds too clean to be shellac? great groove still.

I don’t really know where else to post this, it’s not an interview and probably not worth it’s own topic. Still pretty cool though.

Beautiful photos of a beautiful landscape! I wish I lived near the coast 
It remind me to a short travel in Bretagne I did many years ago. It’s a memory full of nostalgy for a bunch of personal reasons.
After so much time I lost all the details, but what remains to me it’s the sense of wild place, full of an ancient magic. I remember Carnac, the stones. Definitely hope to come again soon or later.

the Soma Messeiver topic got me thinking if there’s a software FM receiver, and after some looking around I found this very interesting website called WebSDR, basically it’s a web controller for bunch of receivers spread across the world listening to radio, the cool thing about this is you can listen to a broad band of signal rather focusing on a specific one, very similar to what the Soma device does, the web controller also allows instant sampling and saving the audio files, very cool
example:
more examples from Utah Green receiver, this thing is nuts! reminds me of the original star wars sounds

I just got my dear old Minimoog back from my tech who gave it a thorough (and long overdue) re-refurbishment (I’d had it restored by Wes Taggart nearly two decades ago). This time around, my current tech (the brilliant Mike Metz of Thesis Audio) replaced all of the panel pots with Allen-Bradley replicas, restored the keyboard, and did a bunch of internal rewiring/cleanup. It now plays better than it ever has.

Are both the Prophet and Moog housed in maple?

Yeah, curly maple. Those cabinets were done by Wes Taggart when he restored both many, many years ago.
