With all the new folks and follows it’s time for another #introduction ! Boosts appreciated, I'd love to meet all the new people!
I believe #blacklivesmatter and #translivesmatter , science is real, love is love, etc etc. I post about #synthesizers , #mentalhealth - esp #bipolar disorder.
I'm a #neurodivergent techie person. I have #synesthesia and see sound; all my senses are visual (I taste and smell in color, etc). Also my concept of time is in 3D, and all inanimate objects (including letters and shapes) have gender - which is on a spectrum (not binary). more about all that here: https://planet.chrisbeckstrom.com/synesthesia/
Here’s a tutorial I wrote about using #mastodon : https://chrisbeckstrom.com/tutorials/get_started_with_mastodon/
I build analog and digital #synthesizers for fun, and you can too! I have a tutorial here: https://chrisbeckstrom.com/2019/11/15/getting-started-in-synth-diy-first-steps/
I like to make #techno and beats, especially #modbap, and love #dub and #hiphop . I also love #sounddesign and have a ton of free samples here: https://chrisbeckstrom.com/samples/ , including 1,001 samples from my homemade modular synth. I used to be a gigging jazz player in Chicago but I mostly do electronic stuff now, in Michigan.
I am interested in #algorithmic art, especially algorithmic music; I’ve been using #tidalcycles for years and it’s amazing. My favorite software includes #puredata , #vcvrack , #koala , #drambo , #reaper , and #sunvox .
I have a lot of music on bandcamp, most free or pay what you want: https://chrisbeckstrom.bandcamp.com
I work in healthcare technology wrangling patient data. I #homebrew #beer and #kombucha and am into #nature , #hiking , and #foraging . I like to use foraged ingredients in my brewing, especially mugwort, sassafras, and wild black raspberries.
Here's my guide to making really good kombucha: https://chrisbeckstrom.com/tutorials/making_kombucha/ - and also kombucha leather! https://chrisbeckstrom.com/tutorials/making_kombucha_leather/
As a white cis dude I try to acknowledge my immense privilege and use to help others without that. Sometimes that means in person with marches and protests, sometimes that means doing what I can from my computer, depending on my spoons.
I'm not a fan of #capitalism , #nazis , #terfs , etc. I'm a friendly #atheist and sometimes do atheist activism: here's me at the capitol doing a #flyingspaghettimonster display: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/capitol/2015/12/18/flying-spaghetti-monster-comes-capitol/77564922/
