Notes

The concept for this track (and video) by the French producer Thylacine for Swiss Tourism is brilliant. It just goes to show what’s possible with the sound material that surrounds us.

Another small eurorack module for sale, this time it’s the MCO MKI from ALM Busy Circuits. A small oscillator that has served me well, and maybe it will do the same for you. The ad I’m selling my ALM Busy Circuits MCO Eurorack module, a compact …

To my Swiss friends who are into modular synths. If you’re looking for a sequencer that generates really cool melodies super easily, I’m selling the meloDICER module from Vermona. The ad I’m selling my Vermona meloDICER Eurorack module, a …

I tried Tana and Capacities. But I decided to keep using Workflowy. I have used it since 2016 and I love this app. The good thing about Workflowy for me is that it is very easy to use. It is so fast to put information in it. The structure is …

Awesome! The first snow has arrived! ❄️

Here’s a little jam where the goal is to experiment with the Atlantix. Using FM, we manage to create some pretty fun pseudo-scratch effects. And at the end, a small tripod accident in the video.

I’d heard about “Les gros patinent bien” and thought it sounded intriguing, then promptly forgot all about it. Tonight, we stumbled upon it on TV and I was instantly reminded why it had caught my attention. This delightfully absurd tale follows an …

For the first patch I made with the Atlantix, I was surprised by the very gritty sounds it could produce. Accompanied by a good, heavy kick drum, it always makes quite an impact.

I think I’ve got my system planned out for learning the Intellijel Atlantix module that just joined my setup yesterday. I’ve only used modules I actually own. Am I missing anything obvious? Modules in this system Row 1 (1U) Steppy 1U (28 HP) - …

Farewell Nouba. We love you 💔💫

I’ve been trying out some latino vocal samples, blending them with rhythms and melodies that really hit the mark for the hard trance genre.

I wasn’t very interested in OpenAI’s Sora application until I came across this video. I found Casey Neistat’s analysis interesting. I’m also afraid that AI, by removing all friction, will allow everyone to generate a ton of uninteresting content. …

Arte is offering us a back-to-back mix featuring Etienne de Crécy, Cassius, and DJ Falcon that will definitely get your feet tapping. It’s classic French Touch from its heyday.

It looks like Workflowy has introduced a new calendar/daily page feature. An icon has popped up in the menu, letting you jump to a daily note and then browse by date.

The Mandalorian is back (on the big screen) and that’s awesome. But I have to admit, the trailer’s quality feels more like a fan edit than something from a professional studio. Did you see those title cards?!

Zurich-based studio @Okomotive’s game “Herdling”, published by @panic, was featured on Swiss French television.

The folks at Workflowy are rolling out features at a good clip. That’s nice to see.

I’ve been eyeing the Rotring 600 3-in-1 for what feels like forever. This isn’t just another multi-pen; it’s a mechanical pencil, red ballpoint, and black ballpoint all housed in Rotring’s signature hexagonal barrel. The price tag always made me …

Last night, I updated my iPhone to iOS 26. I agree with everyone that Liquid Glass hurts readability. I was also surprised by the quantity of visual noise this new OS version brings.

Quelle organisation catastrophique à l’entrée de la patinoire pour le match du LHC contre ERC Ingolstadt ! Nous avons attendu 30 minutes aux portes VIP avant qu’on nous informe, une fois arrivés, qu’il fallait refaire la file à l’autre porte, …

Let’s have some fun with this

So there you have it, after using a Polaroid 660 for a month, I caved and got the Flip. What sold me on it was the flash. The indoor photos I took with the 660 are just too dark. And everyone seems to say that the Flip’s powerful flash (partially) …

very tempted by the Polaroid Flip

Swiss Post has a mail scanning service. Anyone tried it?

Note to self, don’t forget the camera in the fridge.
