Just got these back. Preparing… by pixel in space, a duo from Saint Petersburg: 6 tracks, about 16 minutes, mixing breaks, glitchy guitar, violin and voice.

The band dubbed every cassette themselves to get the best possible sound. I did the J-card with an inner spread, the shell stickers and the rest of the artwork.

It's a prologue to their upcoming album Well Done Journey. Tapes and digital are on Bandcamp also check out YouTube video with my animation.

Hi all! I made the artwork for Preparing…, a cassette EP by pixel in space, It's a prologue to their upcoming album Well Done Journey, so I built the visuals around a journey that hasn't started yet. The six tracks are six "stops" on the route. Album itself weird mix of old school breakbeat, hip-hop, psychedelic electronic and more.

I also did the J-card, poster, zine and an animated visualizer. Happy to share more or talk about process if anyone's interested. Would love to hear what you think!

Hello guys and gals, I've ported to DMG-1 famous live coding esoteric sequencer by 100Rabbits. Orca is a two-dimensional esoteric programming language in which every letter of the alphabet is an operator, where lowercase letters operate on bang, uppercase letters operate each frame. What changed — the grid is 32×16 instead of unbounded, there is no keyboard, and : plays an instrument on the DMG's own sound chip instead of sending MIDI.

It's still in "proof of concept" stage, but you can try it freely on my itch.io

Hi! RED SEA generates continuously evolving MIDI Control Change modulation and step-sequenced notes, controlled by one of four algorithmic engines. It has a 128×32 OLED display, one encoder, four buttons, and standard DIN MIDI in/out. Built for hardware platform ESPidi by Eugene Carlo

• FOG — Morphing LFO engine (sine, triangle, or square). The SHAPE parameter changes the waveform itself rather than just skewing it: on sine it adds harmonics, or in the other direction clips the signal and adds noise; on triangle it shifts continuously toward a rising or falling sawtooth.
• SUN — refraction delay engine. When a parameter's value would exceed its range, it triggers a series of echo repeats instead of simply clamping, each one landing at half the previous interval. If a sequencer note fires on the same tick the echo series starts, the echoes also retrigger that note, transposed further with each repeat.
• RAIN — stochastic modulation engine. The four parameters can drift out of sync with the shared clock independently, occasionally affect a neighboring parameter, and be interrupted by randomized events that force a parameter to its minimum or maximum.
• SNOW — euclidian based random freezer. Mutation triggered by a Euclidean rhythm instead of a fixed interval. Each hit can also freeze or unfreeze any parameter on the device, including the engine's own parameters.

Features

• Four algorithmic engines (FOG / SUN / RAIN / SNOW), each with four dedicated parameters
• 16-step sequencer (note, CC, a third assignable destination, per-step retrigger) with external or internal clock
• Performance BYPASS and FREEZE modes, engaged on button press
• MIDI Learn: captures a CC number from the next incoming Control Change message
• Per-parameter freeze, independent of the global performance modes
• Settings are written to flash and persist across power cycles
