Notes

I hate talking about politics, but Trump’s Davos speech was surreal and exactly what one would expect from him: full of bombast, menaces, misguided assertions, and ridicule. I sincerely hope Europe will snap out of it and not capitulate to this …

I got an Everyday Filter for my camera lenses. After a few indoor trials, I’m pretty satisfied. I can’t wait to see the outcome of shots that aren’t just a pen or a USB drive next to a glowing iPhone light on my desk.

GxAce’s videos truly immerse you in an incredible cyberpunk atmosphere and universe. I really appreciate his style. It’s a welcome change from the usual camera reviews.

We’re organizing a few days in Venice with the family. If you know any lovely restaurants, offbeat attractions or memorable activities, I’d love to hear about them.

I didn’t realize I was listening to so many podcasts. My Castro app Wrapped 2025

Santa was very generous this year. And I have to say, it’s a super cool gift. I wanted to get back into photography with a proper camera, and I have a feeling I’m going to have a lot of fun with this one.

The sequel to Zootopia is both better and funnier than its predecessor.

I am currently working on a pattern editor for the Stolperbeats Eurorack module. This is a side project, and since I don’t have much time, I’m using it to discover wibe coding.

The AI implementation in @tldraw is adorable. It is represented by little fairies that work for you. They will only be available during the month of December. But I couldn’t resist.

The Opus audio format… hmm, interesting. I had never heard of it before.

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.
