Thwack my glitch down

Good to have one back in my life…

Invictus Hi-Fi - The Vanishing @invictushifi.bsky.social "Invictus Hi-presents ‘The Vanishing’ - an electronica requiem for the people and ideas lost to time." #experimentalelectronica #music getmusic.fm/l/cVi7Zi

Of all the #glitch #mangling & #mulching modules I’ve used the Holocene Electronics NLMM is by far the best - absolute dream machine!

Grainy Sunday #synths & #FX

Lovely sounding and dynamic beast - can’t wait to start feeding Eurorack modulation into this thing. #synth #2xm

#Experimental Euphoria #studio #synth

Not only is this ASM Hydrasynth one of my favourite #synths, this diddy version is battery powered so when the studio is hot like today I can go elsewhere for portable patch programming

Prepping for a MIDI guitar part #studio

Laying down some chonky beats this eve #studio #musicproduction

My Threads is wall to wall Count Binface. Why the fuck isn’t it like that here?

Finally got the Korg SDD-3300 delay unit in the racks. Here’s me playing around with a bouncy and weird patch using all three of the delay lines #weird #studio #FX

Please make him quit 🤞#FucketyByeNigel

*adopts Tom Baker voice* Britain. Britian. Britain Where we switch up Prime Ministers more often than we do Dr Who’s or James Bond’s. Hurrah!

Three fully mixable delays with individual inputs and outputs, each with two LFOs and a high pass and low pass filter. Sound designer 80s dream - so why don’t we hear more about the Korg SDD-3300? #studio #fx

Been looking to get my hands on one of these for a while…

Been hanging out at a legendary studio today…

Travel studio - minimal but portable 👍

Free Bandcamp downloads here for ‘The Vanishing’ the 2024 IHF album that saw great reviews from Zen Sounds, Tanzgemeinshaft & Plastic Magazine. #outsider #electronica #freemusic www.getmusic.fm/r/invictus-h...

If you listen very carefully, on the wind you can hear the spectres of hundred of Science Fiction writers whispering… ‘We fucking told you so!’

I love it so much I gave it its own place in the studio #glitch #machine

Finally got around to properly trying out two things I’ve been meaning to - my custom Tubbutech MIDI controller and the 4ms Metamodule Polyphonic mode (still in beta). Both working very well! #synth #studio

Studio refresh = done. Mixing of next IHF album = begun.

Long have I waited… …for a BOC album written pre-emptively about the current state of British weather 🔥👍

First stream from the new studio setup - watch me build an increasingly strange and expansive modular beat... #eurorack #liveelectronica open.substack.com/pub/invictus...

Thankfully sorting out the #studio video is far more easy than the audio side. Here’s a little test…

#ThrowbackThursday Back in early 2024 I released a track ‘The Winter Underground’ about the Soviet distortion of reality & needed a video. This coincided with the availability of early AI video tools that would hallucinate & warp footage. This is what happened next…

And finally, after a week and a bit. It is done. #studio #makeover

Is it me or does place seem a bit…dead?

And finally - updates to the studio drums & FX rack. Excuse the fan noise but damn hot here today. New in - @ohmforce.bsky.social Bohm, which betters any Kick module I’ve used & Music Thing Workshop Computer - here running a very special 80s pitch and delay FX from the 70s. #beats #eurorack
