  1. CF Signals: cat can do – Avant [Diffuse Reality Records]

    The mysticism of the nocturnal floor transforms under the skin of a feline mutating with the shadows. Our favorite cat, cat can do—who regularly turns into a wolf by night under his Only Wolf moniker—returns to our pages to reinforce his tight-knit bond with the unwavering Spanish platform Diffuse Reality Records. Following multiple acclaimed references on the label, the Canadian-born, Alicante-based producer unveils Avant, a four-track collection of original cuts evading conventional molds to delve into the territories of a hybrid, cult techno.

    The core synthesis of this release manifests mysteriously on the title track, Avant. The piece sparks with reticent sounds that approach patiently, as if originating from other times and unexplored dimensions. Far from monolithic industrial rigidity, the cut boasts the characteristic subtlety and self-assurance of the producer’s sound design, weaving a dense, liquid texture where physical friction coexists with a profound spatial elegance.

    The composition’s narrative warps the club’s temporality. Climaxes arrive with surgical delicacy, briefly arresting time and space within a structural containment void; it is there that latent howls emerge, rapidly transmuting into acid drops and synthetic bulbs that re-ignite everything within the Alicante cat’s sonic and visual universe, reactivating the groove with an unyielding, expansive movement.

    Towards the denouement, the sonic architecture shuns the complacency of a gentle descent or a functional summary. The drive simply cuts off mid-analog tension, leaving the acid frequencies vibrating in mid-air like an unfinished interference in the dark. With Avant, cat can do and Diffuse Reality sign a sharp editorial stance against today’s underground scene: they prove that avant-garde techno solidifies when hardware precision surrenders to the animalistic, unpredictable nature of the night.

  3. Finland’s last analogue landline phones go silent after 150 years.

    Finland’s last landline call has been made as the Nordic country becomes the latest to retire copper-wire phones in favour of fibre.

    Estonia, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain have already made the jump as countries across the world roll out fibre optic cable that can handle both internet services and voice calls.

  4. I just posted this to the Blind and Fine subreddit. I wrote about it earlier, but this is much simpler and focused more on a specific program and an alternative.

    Let me start by saying that I am far more familiar and comfortable with analogue audio equipment than digital. My extent of digital recording is using Virtual Recorder to record mp3s and MPCHC to play them, or using a portable recorder like the Milestone 112 ACE or the Olympus DM-720-770. So most of these terms are new to me. That said, to make a very long story short, I have a personal project in which I am attempting to make some acoustic recordings sound like early electric ones. Basically, less tinny and a bit clearer. Obviously I'm not expecting 2026 quality, but 1926 or early 1930's would be nice. I first thought this needed to be done with frequency restoration, since acoustic media, be it disks or cylinders, always fail to record certain ones. But I found that the very few programs designed for this are inaccessible with NVDA. Then, I learned that I can simply use an equalizer and an exciter and/or saturator to do essentially the same thing. I decided to try Reaper. I installed it, along with the Osara and SWS. I was able to load a file and get into the equalizer to change the numbers in the bands as a low and high shelf (this most likely equates to bass and treble). But it seems that the volume is set to 0, because even when loading a file for the first time, when I hit space, it doesn't play. I can't find the volume controls either. When I hit tab and shift+tab, there are numbers, but none appear to be volume. Can anyone help me? Is there a much simpler program that I can use? If not, can anyone recommend an analogue setup for me? It doesn't need to be new at all, just affordable (under $200). I don't need to worry about accessibility there, since it would all be knobs and sliders.

  6. Now the other two are ported - all the #analogue #trunks are ceased and all traffic to and from the #PSTN from this #PBX is now #VOIP (using #PJSIP trunks on #FreePBX )

    I disconnected all the analogue lines as #Openreach leave battery on them, that way they show as RED alarm on #Asterisk and won't be selected for any calls (worst case is they return a busy trunk status and the route will go to the next trunk, but I've taken away all the analogue circuits from every PSTN route)

  8. Some thoughts on the #Analogue3D:

    It is very cool and sleek hardware (see my terrible photo with my original #OcarinaOfTime module) and can be a lot of fun if you want to have a mostly authentic #N64 experience on modern FullHD or 4K screen.

    There are a lot of things to consider if you are willing to invest so quite a bit of money into this console:

    • Despite being a #FPGA device the system is not open, so no #OpenFPGA in the future which would you allow other to #misterFPGA cores/systems (open alternatives: misterFPGA, #M64 and the #SuperStationOne).
    • Some promised stuff is missing such as save states and play time recording.
    • The official controller has to be bought if you don't plan to use an original N64 controller. the Wireless NSO N64 by Nintendo controller is not compatible.
    • The official #8BitDo controller does not correctly emulate an N64 controller which can be problematic in certain scenarios involving the C buttons.
    • Butchered PAL versions with less FPS /slowdown etc are still butchered.
    • A few games do have compatibility issues (which are being worked on).
    • HDMI-CEC support is broken and hasn't been fixed for weeks.
    • Analogue seems to fulfilling orders in a quite random sequence.
    • The integrated fan can be quite annoying/loud, especially for people sensitive for highly pitched noises.
    • Don't forget about import taxes.
    • No bluetooth audio, so your partner can "enjoy" the Yoshi Story soundtrack with you.
    • Maybe emulation is good enough for you? 🤷
    • Flash carts do at this work, just get/build a #SummerCart64. Emulators written for N64 hardware emulating other system do not work though.

  10. Prynais i'r #radio bach #Sangean yma ar wyliau, o #fnac.

    Mae'n bleser i ddefnyddio, gyda sain da. Yr unig anfantais yw bod y gwaelod ddim yn fflat felly dyw e ddim yn sefyll lan ar fwrdd. Ond efallai er mwyn ei wneud yn fwy cyfforddus yn y poced.

    Roedd detholiad eitha da o radios tebyg yn y siop, oedd yn #Donostia #euskalherria yng ngwladwriaeth #Sbaen - oherwydd y toriadau trydan diweddar efallai?
