...no matter where she goes artistically, it's always gonna be 100% interesting. as if we get to just live life and regularly get Charli XCX music.

It was called something like the "Anemonia Art Show", or something similar. 30-60min glitchy analog art videos, literally hundreds! My bookmarks got wiped and now I can't find the channel, any ideas?

Thank you!

Stumbling my way through this concept lol. Yamaha OPL3 (SoundBlaster) chip back-end, per-step parameters and modulations, a re-trigger system (that can be modulated!), and adding features/ideas in realtime as they come to me.

Determined to make OPL3 cool in 2026! It's such a misunderstood under-appreciated chip, and I just want to lean into its quirks and make something dope.

Producer/composer here, curious how y'all are approaching the sharing/promotion of your music these days? Recently made an ambient EP, and am totally lost on how to "get it out there" without being annoying / preachy and otherwise just adding noise to an already overwhelming online experience. Is it through community? Are there events/performances or is this mostly an online genre?

As a producer I have 500million streams on the songs I've done for other artists, but this is my first time being the face of it - and wow it's a totally different beast. Beyond the weekly thread, what are some ways to get to know people and share some music / listen to what everyone's creating?

LA-based, and very excited to have tickets to the Boards of Canada event on May 22nd (!!!!!!! anyone else going??). This said, my release feelings EP is influenced by the simultaneous emptyness/overwhelm that BOC have mastered, while being quite different aesthetically. Less sample-based, everything is performed by hand on a ROLI Seaboard (a keyboard with 5 axis of expression), all off-grid with no metronome, basically trying to "paint sound" and create something fragile and vapour-like. Used some quirky synths as well, like the 90s SoundBlaster (OPL3), the SNES SPC-700 chip, and an old cassette deck.

Inspired by composer Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition", it's a walk through a sonic art gallery. Would be so interested to hear any feedback, and please take a BandCamp code if you made it this far!

...am I completely alone on this? It feels that way, given that for 13 years this hasn't changed.

If I choose "Type : Drums" and "Loops", I want this filter to remain on until I clear it. It clears every time you make the slightest change in pack or browser.

Like... we're looking for Drum Loops, and switching between packs -- having to set these two filters every time seems insane to me.

Anyone else?

This feels like a niche wish, but it could also be the thing that makes music producers choose a Framework device instead of Apple.

Here's the issue :

Built-in audio on ALL PC laptops is an absolute travesty. Let's say you sit at a coffeeshop and want to work on music, or go to someone's studio to collaborate, or just be anywhere NOT connected to an interface - you are getting 100ms of latency. It's a joke.

CoreAudio on the other hand, is low-latency out of the box. No interface needed - open DAW and you are making music. No "WASPI Exclusive steals audio from all other apps" nonsense, no crackles, it_just_works as the old adage goes.

Is it possible for there to be framework snap-in module that is simply a headphone jack, tied to a mini ASIO soundcard? This feels like the true Mac killer for the audio world. Not to mention the Linux-optimized use case with PipeWire, which is an actual Mac killer.
