there are too many youtube videos that are like "why i quit modular synths" or "why you shouldn't get into modular synths" and the takeaway is usually "it's a lot easier to produce scads of tracks to sell in a DAW" 🙄

i'm glad i didn't get tempted to do jamuary this year. trying to do a streak of something is a recipe for feeling like a failure for me. i did some synth stuff i was proud of with reasonable expectations. i will not let grind culture seep into this thing that brings me joy.

i also hate the word "producer" for what i do. i am not out here to produce reams of material. i want to learn and explore and have happy accidents etc. "musician" is better but gets used pretty rarely for synth people who make all the parts themselves

this is a great shot though #Monsterdon

@Aleums modular synthesizers use voltage so that i don't have to turn that knob myself like some kind of medieval peasant
