On the weekend, I've been on a heavier vessel. Its cargo? Eastern-European Post-Punk!

It feels like I'm starting all over again but it's for the best. Before last week, all I had access to were low resolution photos of the circuit boards and the circuit diagram of the synth.

I’ve been working on this project for a year and finally have a platform to host a website for it:

Synths were much simpler in the 70s. No chips, only simple resistors, capacitors and transistors. To the point where it’s actually possible to draw and print the circuit boards, populate them with components and hopefully have a working synthesizer.

That’s what I’m doing right now. An invaluable resource have been photos of the back sides of the boards and lots of deep knowledge of …

Sometimes life can be a lot and I often feel how important it is to have a way to escape. I'm about to finish my degree in Digital Humanities, have job, some other side gigs and a kid and a partner. More often than not things stack up and it can take weeks before I get to work on my projects, make music or build something.

Ever since 2006, creating websites has been a part of my life. My first website dates back to 2006. At elementary school, we had a really cool computer club where we learned HTML, Logo, image manipulation with GIMP and so much more. I still have some files from back then. Sadly, the data on the diskette containing the website is long gone. The website was about dogs and it even contained a quiz that even checked your ansers. Its background was orange and it had tons of animated gifs. I typed it all by hand. The document …
