A quick recap of what I'm currently working on: I'm building a subtractive monosynth on an STM32F446 microcontroller, with all code hand-written in assembly.
The goal is to build a synth expander that is inexpensive, independent from the computer and has enough physical controls to be suitable for live performance.
Part of the motivation for this project is that I didn't want to remain dependent on huge janky software stacks for doing music, especially now that things are quickly ensloppifying. Nor did I want to spend hundreds of euros on a hardware synth (and not learn a single thing about how they actually work in the process).
I've been working on this since May (with large study-related breaks in between) and it can now output a nice sawtooth signal over line out and react to MIDI Note On messages. Next up will be implementing envelope / NoteOff.
I live-toot at #LuBuildsAMonosynth and you can check out the current state at: https://git.sr.ht/~lhinderberger/monosynth

I haven’t been tooting, but I’ve been working!
Nearly three months of work on my *Inexplicablities* project … a document for each composition, consisting of thoughts and reference materials, each followed by a conversation with Anthropic’s Claude to develop ideas and gather resources – a very powerful research tool and assistant!
In addition, a summation of the entire Inexplicabilities suite itself, including Claude’s extensive responses to my request to “evaluate the entire project as a whole, experiencing it as a reviewer/critic/devil’s advocate – objectively identifying successes, weaknesses, and errors or failures.”
Be careful what you ask for – there’s now a high probability that one piece will be trashed, and a new one developed from a different idea altogether.
Not a single note, not a single sound will be sourced by generative AI. The only material actually coming from Claude in the finished work will be three brief stanzas of verse I authored in English, and had Claude translate into Latin – which was then sent to a helpful professor in Brown University’s Classics department for vetting.
(It’s been over 50 years since my high school Latin days!)
It’s exhilarating these resources are finally established, and though the compositional process is just beginning, it’s great to have a “bible” at hand instead of starting in a complete vacuum.

🧵10/x "Attempt to change a running system" was my second solo album in 2010 – electronica postrock produced with a drum kit, modular synth and open source software (sooperlooper, ChucK).
