I was feeling bubbly, but also a bit irritable, which inspired this piece mimicking parakeets. The basic gist is a random walk through a pitch quantizer to control VCO pitch and another random walk to trigger a low-pass gate. To produce the sporadic screeching, I added another VCO, frequency-modulated by noise, sent through a wavefolder, producing a signal that can FM the carrier VCO. This modulator is turned on and off by a square wave triggering a VCA.<br/><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://s3.us-east-005.backblazeb2.com/musicianstoday/media_attachments/files/116/881/375/465/295/392/original/219710412b0964c7.mp4"></video> 2026-07-08T00:02:27Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsqekhhucjuat58dmv3kjtydscqr7pkt7dwtwx5xaxzk73f0wfrc2czyqvrrgncd5744j8auaf0pl9xvv4q9dwfx49rzw2y8kfg0zucgndckufl78s Call for submissions!<br/><br/>To ring in the one-year anniversary of The Tower of Babel Falls, I&#39;m inviting producers and artists to contribute a remix or cover of a song from the album for an upcoming b-sides release.<br/><br/>Submissions due Aug 31, 2026.<br/><br/>Submit a mixdown of your remix/cover to arend@arendleejessurun.com.<br/><br/>If chosen, I&#39;ll offer you a free mix, master, or remote session work (vocals, guitar, bass, keys) for a song of your own.<br/><br/><a href="https://arendleejessurun.bandcamp.com/album/the-tower-stems-and-charts">https://arendleejessurun.bandcamp.com/album/the-tower-stems-and-charts</a><br/><br/>#remix #electronicMusic #songwriter 2026-07-02T00:17:52Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsvnv9e30n6sue8l69z5pwt4hda42mf9nltglxuzm8k66pxvq80uugzyqvrrgncd5744j8auaf0pl9xvv4q9dwfx49rzw2y8kfg0zucgndckc923ej I&#39;m continuing to offer my latest album for free for #DisabilityPrideMonth!<br/><br/>I live with #longCOVID, #fibromyalgia, and #MECFS.<br/><br/>I&#39;m also autistic and suffer major depression.<br/><br/>I wrote this song grappling with what resistance and activism might look like given the limits my disabilities impose.

I let myself do that—sing it tired—with a couple songs on my latest release, was pleased with the results, and I want to let myself do it more. Gotta let go of the teaching I got in music school that I have to be some high level of engaging.<br/><br/>Tired music is good too, and I think we as listeners need it, especially considering how much media tends to overstimulate and overwhelm. 2026-06-17T01:57:31Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs80ugrv7h9hkh7nrpxapza76t0390v9kashtpdfyw63yp09xg64zszyqvrrgncd5744j8auaf0pl9xvv4q9dwfx49rzw2y8kfg0zucgndck5uks64 Once again sharing that latest album is free for #PrideMonth!

I said &#34;waltz time!&#34; and we all played it fine. I took it for granted that most string-band-types would know 12/8 by name from the blues. It sounds like a complicated time signature (and it can be), but if you know the blues, you already know the feel.
