  • Gigantic Wings -- Leon and Aksel open Pokemon together

    Leon opens Pokemon cards along with friend and special guest Aksel!

    I only have two "decent" mics, but we had a conversation of three in this episode.
    I recorded my voice on the mic built into a dirt-cheap pair of headphones, and did
    my best to sync it into the mix. It was terrible. Besides its low, buzzy, noisy,
    quality, it caught everything, and this "bleed" sounded awful combined with the mix.
    I spent an inordinate time trying to "fix" all this, rigging a walkie-talkie like scheme
    where signal from the "good" mics would cause output from the bad mic to be suppressed
    and vice-versa. Along with a bunch of "plug ins" to suppress some of the noise and flesh out
    some of the tinniness of the bad mic itself, maybe it all kind of works. But if the audio
    sounds a bit processed or weird, you know why!

  • Some more MIDI music

    I seem to think it's the coolest thing that, with my very limited musical
    skills, I can use MIDI and synthesizer plugins to make what sounds like "real music".
    This is a "composition" derived from mixing a transforming a single arpegio, and adding
    in just a bit of pseudocello as harmony. It ends rather abruptly, though.

  • Leon opens Pokemon, 2012-10-12

    Leon's passion these days is Pokemon, and for a while we've been practicing
    our audio production skills by recording little 'podcasts' on the special days
    when he gets to open a new pack. Now that we have this, um, podcast, we figured
    we'd publish this little family event. Enjoy!

    As always, I had fun with the music. It's become my little vice.

  • I dream of axolotls

    I wanted to make an "episode", but the kid was very loudly playing Minecraft.
    So, I recorded the kid, and cut clips of his gaming exclamations into this (fake) interview.
    (The kid was just gaming; the questions I made up after the fact had nothing to do with what he was responding to.)

    Of course there's weird MIDI music.

    Anyway, it seems kind of fun!
