“My modular playing a lfo based patch and a scary robot cat i rescued from the trash.”
I was a bit skeptical of this somewhat creepy robot cat, but I did find more info about it. It’s called a Yume Neko Smile from Sega. Here is a promotional video:

From the B-Roll, via matrixsynth:
“…a friend and fellow monome user Jared just recently released his new monome app called Grainslide. I tested an early version of the app on Day 213 and he has since made adjustments and released it to the community. It’s a simple but effective concept. His layout design is unique to most other monome apps which I think is great. It’s not a quick sample cutting app although you could play it that way. It’s a layering tool really.”
I am curious to check out Grainslide. The mlr application that I often use with the monome would be the quintessential “sample cutting app” – it has worked well for me in live performance, but I really have only scratched the surface on what I can do with this controller.

here’s my cat Bella, sitting on the chair of power at my desk.
She’s grumpy as there are too many places to fill in my modular and she’s not allowed to play with the patch cables…
We have seen some pictures in the past of his cat Guiliano.

“Caliope composing her set w/ 2 tone genators.”
I would be quite curious to hear that piece.
