Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund describes Trumps’s January 6 Capitol assault:

“‘As soon as they hit the fence line, the fight was on,’ Sund said. ‘Violent confrontations from the start. They came with riot helmets, gas masks, shields, pepper spray, fireworks, climbing gear — climbing gear! — explosives, metal pipes, baseball bats. I have never seen anything like it in 30 years of events in Washington.’

...‘They were extremely dangerous and they were extremely prepared. I have a hard time calling this a demonstration,’ he said.”

Music

Electronic music — DIY music production

These are some of the noises I've assembled recently.

‘Ice-Nine’

I bought an EMX-1 SD some years ago after seeing mryat and denkitribe's incredible work on YouTube. This is my second track. The sound is straight out of the EMX-1:

Here you can watch it being 'performed'. YouTube's encoder made the bass drum sound like a Lacrosse ball bouncing inside a dryer, but I guess it still works. The song is about two minutes too long, but that's hindsight for you:

‘Cruzeiro’

This is my first EMX-1 track:

This machine has a ribbon controller that gets overlooked by many users. In this track I used it to play a pretty decent 'solo', if I do say:

Notification Sounds

I created these WAV files many years ago for use as nthClock alarm sounds. Most sounds are from the Alesis Micron, though a few bits come from the soft synth that was bundled with Cakewalk's SONAR back then.

These are designed to be played once or in a loop:

Double Singularity
Half-Price Raygun
Inspector Q's Theme
Lobster Nebula
Martian Morse Code
Non-Event Horizon
Quantum Quandary
Earth-Normal
