#synthtember — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #synthtember, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Done! Thirty songs hath #Synthtember. In other words, #Synthtember2025 is in the bag. I managed to record a #synth song / sketch / noodle every day of the month, through thick & thin, sickness & health, weariness & not so weariness, inspiration & ennui. The whole sordid affair, all seven frikkin hours and seven minutes of the thing, may be listened to at my #WriteFreely blog. #music #synthesizers https://maxvolu.me/

  6. Yesterday's #music effort: #Synthtember 2025 #9 “8:26am Anxiety Meltdown”. This time with the rare addition of elements of traditional song structure. Wonk & weirdness quotient still remains reasonably high. #Analogue #synths, #Bitwig and a #theremin.

  7. Not quite #ambient, neither is it quite #minimalism, it's almost certainly not #IDM, but it most assuredly is a #synthesizer #improvisation and there is absolutely no question that it's #Synthtember No. 1 "False Positive" by jlmxv.

  8. I gave up posting links to my daily #Synthtember #synth #music improvisations here (I look forward to the imminent #GoToSocial beta release which will support audio!) - but I did record one every day and posted the results on my #WriteFreely #blog. For the two of you who are interested this kind of thing, I've written up a brief wrap-up post about my experiences with the project here - https://maxvolu.me/synthetember-2024-wrap-up

  9. Phewee! Just completed recording the final #synthtember track for this year - which means I managed to record a #synth track every day of the month this time around. Looking forward to sorting through the debris, having a debrief and seeing what potential future album material comes of it.

  10. Happy #MusiciansDay!

    Over this #Synthtember I've recorded a #synthesizer #improvisation every day (thus far) - using various #analogue #synthesizers, and to break things up occasionally, #Bitwig software synths. Every evening I've tried to re-wire the studio setup in a completely different way, with different selections of instruments and effects, and different relationships between them. There's been some nice #psychedelic stuff so far - as well as more than a few er shall we say erm experimental ones. A good portion of the material will likely end up edited, overdubed and otherwise interfered with to shape it into album material.

    For those of an adventurous disposition, all 26 tracks thus far are available for listening on #Funkwhale - https://audio.tryptophonic.com/library/albums/86

  11. Tonight's #ambient #Synthtember #improvisation exhibits more than a little influence from a certain beardy Greek #synthesizer musician, who is sadly no longer with us. #music
    Synthtember No.12 “Air Festivities I”.

  12. #Synthtember No.6 "Doughnut". Patching modular synthesizers, following a game of Carcassonne with my son. There is a common thread. Meeple have the power! #psychedelic #music

  13. #Synthtember No.5 "I Stopped Trying and It Worked". I started tonight's #synthesizer session with a pretty up-beat, get up and go track, so much so, that it got up and left. Following that possibly fortunate incident, I suddenly came over all #ambient and this is the result. #music #improvisation

  14. #Synthtember No.2 "Erekosë". I recorded two tracks previous to this, but was er a little too frivolous in my patching experimentation, and consequently the results were slightly too wonky, even by my standards. So, for the third track I fired up #Bitwig for a bit of computer-based #synthesizer #music recording that ended up sounding suspiciously like a song.

  15. I enjoyed this Moog-Sound-Studio-into-reel-to-reel recording set up from a few weeks ago so much that I thought I’d give it another go.

  16. Synthtember No. 1 "Hazy Malaisey". Warming-up, literally as well as figuratively, for #Synthtember 2024. Thirty-five degrees & smoky returning home weary and wary from a weekend away. First time in the studio for more than a month, after being laid low by a viral invasion, so tonight's #electronic #synth meandering is shall we say er an experiment in minimalism? #synthesizer #music #improvisation

    As #GoToSocial isn't yet able to embed music directly, I'm trying to come up with a decent way of sharing the audio. I hope to find an improved solution rather than the current link to the #Funkwhale song page.

  17. #Synthtember Day 30: Final Entry

    A drone generated with Reaktor, then heavily processed in Reaper. The ensemble I used is called Sludge Drone, but I couldn't find it in the user library again to link to it.

    Well, this has been fun, and thanks again to @screwtape for bringing it to my attention. Also thanks to those who have listened and commented.

    #drone #DarkAmbient #synth

  18. #Synthtember Day 29: Anterzone

    Combining two of my favorite modules in #VCVRack, docB's Ant and Valley's Interzone, for yet more generative ambient stuff.
    Patch available here: patchstorage.com/synthtember-2

    #synth #ambient #electronic

  19. #Synthtember Day 28

    Noisy ambient soundscape made with filtered noise, delays, and feedback. The Cardinal patch is available here:

  20. #Synthtember Day 27: Interzonal Hallucigenia

    More generative ambient stuff in #VCVRack, with the Hallucigenia and Interzone modules playing starring roles.

    Patch available here: patchstorage.com/synthtember-2

    #ambient #electronic #synth

  21. In place of a regular #synthtember post, today I'm announcing the release of the new Fugue State album Coming Through. If you're a listener to #radioFreeFedi you may have heard the promo tracks already.

    Still in need of a MIDI controller here, so any support is much appreciated!

    Excellent retro-futuristic cover art by @yoniden

  22. #Synthtember Day 22

    Back to #VCVRack for this one. A bit of generative stuff using just semi-random LFO's and sample and hold modules as the generative source (as opposed to modules designed for such things). I think this is one of my favorites from these synthtember recordings. Patch is available here:

    patchstorage.com/synthtember-2

  23. #Synthtember Day 21

    More from Wren today, this time a noisy semi-generative thing. The patch is available here:

  24. FSA / @screwtape #synthtember Day 2: what better way to follow up a virtual Lunetta patch than with a real one? Once again recorded in the wee hours of the morning, posting a little earlier this time.

    For the curious, the name Lunetta comes from Stanley Lunetta (RIP), who pioneered the (ab)use of CMOS chips for cheap & nasty modular synthesis. There is some info (and links to more/better info) on this page of my website:

  25. @fstateaudio for #synthember stroke #synthtember at @synthember which will retoot for other presumable follows of that group. I dunno, it's a mechanism @AlgoCompSynth set up for us. And don't forget to unat the group so as not to toot spam them as I've been doing.

    Love the punctuated buzz

  26. Home for lunch, so time to post the first installment in the #synthtember #TrackADay challenge with @screwtape

    I did the patching and recording for this raw, Lunetta-style (square waves and logic) beepfest in the wee hours of the morning, after receiving screwtape's invitation. The Cardinal patch is available from my patchstorage page:

    patchstorage.com/lunettish-1/

    I'm sure this won't be to everyone's taste, but if you ever wished chiptunes had less structure, here you go. :)

  31. Friend @screwtape has invited me to take part in a #synthtember #TrackADay challenge, in part to help with raising funds to get a new MIDI controller following the failure of my K2000, but also just for fun. I'll be posting my first installment in this a little later when I can get away from the day job. Stay tuned for some synthy fun!
