Noise/Jam Rock inspired Ambient Noise

This was inspired by some of my favorite jammy noisy bands like Yo La Tengo, Luna, and Galaxiw 500. Of course this is in modular though and I am constraining myself to not use guitar on this album. Fun jam though. Album is now ~60% done. Might need to redo the melody part at the end though.

Calm Ambient Noise Jam

I reworked the noise jam and recorded it - this is what comes after to calm things down. Two wavetable oscs through harmonic mixers and ai024 low pass filters with my prototype delay. A version of that processed through my prototype noise fx into an ai017 LPG and OTA filter to make a dual resonant BP filter. Simple bass by Moog - I'll need to re-record that.

A few times a week my cat ~5years will wake me up for play at 3am, 5am, and 7am.

And I play with them before bed. It's driving me crazy. I need sleep.

Ambient Noise Experiment w/ no V/O

Another jam with no v/o. This one didn't work, but some of the sounds and methods were interesting, and it was fun.

More "old school" dark ambient modular

More "old school" dark ambient. Rolled my own vhikk from scratch with two wavetable vcos into harmonic mixer, 26 LP filters into some effects I've been tinkering with for the drone. Bass is analog vcos into pedals into LPG.

What are the shrubs to the left of the dying arborvitae?

We used to have shrubs all across that side of the yard, but arborists cut them down years ago to help them take out a large TOH. I tried to figure out what they were as they require no work from me during the year and was told they were arborvitae. I planted two but they are obviously not long for this world. Any idea what the living shrubs are? They are ugly but they give us privacy. Ideally I would put up a trellis and grow jasmine, but that isn't in the cards at the moment.

Can't claim settlement in Creeping Borders

New to the game. I started with roots and started playing Creeping Borders. I have two weilders and have just expanded to take over a settlement, but I can't convert it. I have claimed it, but I can't convert it to roots or raise it. What am I missing?

Experienced PCB maker, new to Kicad - moving parts from one sheet to another gives me a blank PCB

  1. Autodesk finally found out I was on a cheap license so now I'm learning Kicad. I started off fine, with a schematic on the root and the PCB tool. Before I realized I could update the Frame size, I created a new sheet and did a bunch of work, then I saved and quit.

  2. Came back and the second schematic sheet was just a copy of the root. I didn't realize I was on the second sheet and did a bunch of work.

  3. Realized I was on the second sheet, so I went to the Root sheet, deleted everything, and copied the schematic on the second sheet to Root so I wouldn't mysteriously lose all my work again.

  4. I synced to the PCB, but that readded some stuff from the PCB to the root schematic, so I deleted those and am now trying to resync. I have a blank PCB and when I update PCB from schematic nothing comes over and I have no errors.

How do I get the PCB to populate? I tries searching but didn't find a fix.

Is there any point in repairing this chair leg? If so how?

These cheap chairs finally lost a chair leg when the metal bracket stripped out of the wood. If I can I'd rather wait to replace the set. Is there any method (toothpicks and wood glue) that would make repairing this chair leg worthwhile?
