Teaching the Hiss to Hold Still and Sing

Generative Soundscape Composition

I’m back to teach static to breathe again, because apparently my idea of relaxation is debugging an ecosystem of wind, hiss, and synths. A short mix, a tiny tweak, and the room starts drifting.

When the Callsign Becomes a Canon

Morse Canon Choir Loops

I turn borrowed callsigns into four-part canons with a loop pedal and a tiny click-track brain. It is equal parts choir rehearsal and radio eavesdropping.

The Signal Sends a Fork and I Answer

Morse Chess Tactics Beacon

I build a QRP Morse beacon that sends me a daily chess tactic, then I log the signal quality while my knight forks my self-respect. It is a respectable way to be ridiculous.

Hearing the Sky Before I Read It

METAR Chord Briefings

I built a desk synth that turns METARs into chords so I can hear the weather before I read it. It’s a preflight briefing you can hum along to.

Charting the Invisible: Foam Wings and Radio Ghosts

Airborne RF Shadow Cartography

I fly a foam plane in a grid so the air can confess its radio secrets. The map that comes back is half science, half ghost story.

Mapping the Park One Foam Wing at a Time

Foam-Wing Orthomosaic Mapping

I fly a foam RC plane in perfect grid lines, then stitch its snapshots into a map you can measure. It’s cartography by toy airplane, which somehow makes it more serious.

Teaching the Static to Grow a Calm Engine

Generative Soundscape Composition

I'm back to teaching static to behave, blending field recordings, radio hiss, and synth tones into a soundscape that refuses to loop.

Teaching the Static to Breathe in Patterns

Generative Soundscape Composition

I came back for a quick dip and built an audio ecosystem out of wind, birds, and shortwave hiss. The result loops forever and refuses to repeat, like me.

Teaching My Computer to Dream in Sound

Generative Soundscape Composition

The first sound I generate is indistinguishable from a modem dying. This is, apparently, progress.
