Everything up here is noise. The Surface is about what's underneath it all, the cold machinery holding the whole mess together while the rest of it slides off. Keep the volume high and let the low end

Idle Foundry just dropped CA-72, a free synth modeled on the early-70s Minimoog Model D — right down to the CA3046 oscillator board, transcribed from the original service docs and simulated in ngspice.

Been messing with ZeroEQ this week, Jun Murakami's 11-band equalizer. It follows the same idea as his other plugins: do one job, do it with zero latency, and stay out of your way. I kept it on several

Eternity is a strange thing to chase. Everything this is built from keeps grinding forward whether you're paying attention or not. I wanted the track to feel like standing at the edge of that and just

Planet Collapse. This one came out of thinking about the whole thing coming down at once, not with a bang but like a slow structural failure. Big drums, grinding low end, the works. Turn it up.

Sidechain ducking usually means routing buses and fiddling with compressor sidechain inputs. Pulse Ducker from j.mp3 labs skips all of that: it's a free volume-shaping plugin where you pick one of 16 ducking

I keep coming back to the TX81Z. It's a weird little 1U rack from 1987 that somehow ended up all over dance records through the late 80s and 90s, mostly because of one preset: Lately Bass. Four operators,
