Hello, hope you're well!

Here's a new video which is from one of the DivKid Discussions stage interviews at Machina Bristronica. This one is with Tom from Music Thing Modular, it's nice looking back and re-experiencing these for me as well as putting them out for a wider audience to enjoy too. There's info on the video below, copied from the video description, but it's worth noting up top too ... there's NO Machina Bristronica this year, they're taking a year off. Booooo sad times I know!

Coming up next week will be 2 videos, one of a set of modules, patch and sound that I just really love and wanted to share, the second a new module. There's some exclusives to come and a new 20 Questions interview too. Lots more beyond that as things start to feel like we race towards Superbooth!

Have a great end to the week and lets chat in the Discord!

Turing Machine, Workshop System & Planet of the Apes! // Music Thing Modular at Machina Bristronica

It's a pleasure to look back at the last Machina Bristronica event (2025) and share this video with Tom Whitwell of Music Thing Modular from the DivKid Discussions stage. We talk about origins, Thonk acting like a record label, Turing Machines, Radio Music and the Workshop System which has inspired and built community and created collaborations, before rounding out on some unexpected connections to Planet of the Apes! Machina Bristronica is taking a year off for 2026, but will be back in 2027.
