Lead Technical Artist @ Epic Games. Formerly @ Yager & Fishlabs. Modular Synthesizer guy. Making music as “Janky Jams” - https://jankyjams.com Wearer of many hats. Metaphorical ones only, I unfortunately don't have a hat face. Based in Berlin.
New release: This is the track I'm most proud of so far this year - even though my first instinct was to trash it! Now I keep listening to this over and over, because it's so warm and alive... But let me know what you think!

Hi all! Last night I released a track of mine on Bandcamp for the very first time!
It's the track I recorded for week 7 of WeeklyBeats. I kept going back and listened to it over and over, so I figured it'd make a good debut!
Hope you enjoy 😊

And most recently, tonight I released: Peripatetic.
A little harmonic improvisation session with my (mostly) Euroserge case and the Oxi One. Not sure what genre this falls into - maybe Chillstep? You be the judge!

Week 6, dub techno this time. First patch on a new rack case is always special... this was pretty fun! I present to you: Undercurrent

In week 5 we're returning to techno, and I quite like how this one came out! Here is: Cruise

In week 4 I made something a little less techno. It came out sounding a bit like a dungeon exploration song from a JRPG, so here's: The Lair.

Here's week 3: Holding Pattern. If you like a big kick and some synth chords, this is for you:

Gosh I completely forgot to post the subsequent weeks on here didn't I? I guess promoting one's own music is a pretty lonely affair, so the dopamine gnomes aren't exactly working hard to remind me... Anyway, here's a link dump of everything I've released since week 2! #synthsky #eurorack #modular
Oh my god, so many people are canceling Nitro that it's having issues processing it, cook 'em hard bois.
please give us more personal data please please please please c’mon you’re being so mean dude. we only got breached like three times. we’re NOT going to sell it man please please please plus its for like safety? so you’re the one who looks stupid right now come on pleaaaaaase just one data point bro
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail
We only have AI since such a short time and ppl cannot even remember anymore that computers can do other things than AI 😭.
User in the library asked me, if AI can copy a text of a website into an E-Mail. Told her about "copy-paste" and she asked "With the AI?" I said no, with your mouse." 😭😭😭
remember back when we all doodled the current thing for warmups? we could bring that back, maybe, that was fun
a delayed game is eventually good but a canceled game that never comes out and had cool promotional material will be good forever
My fear for AI isn't that it doesn't work or wont be useful. No. it's that it makes you dependent
When using AI. Hygiene becomes an essential skill..
For coding and engineering some of that is possible. For creativitiy no AI hygiene exist. Cuz the output cannot be reproduced
I have been warning for this for literally ever since AI became a thing. They want to own creativity and bind you with licenses.
Don't get too dependent on AI, this is their endgame.
30% of everything

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.
I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
Full track video is on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JKv...
And the track itself is on the #weeklybeats site and my SoundCloud: weeklybeats.com/janky+jams/m...

And that's #weeklybeats week 1 in the bag! This was an easy one, just a reprise of my NYE patch with EMS, but tightened up a bit. Not sure how many of these I will do, but it's a nice challenge!

Gonna skip #jamuary this year, but I've signed up to take part in #weeklybeats for the first time. Record/release one track every week for an entire year, huh? I don't know how long I'll last, but it seems like a fun thing to try!
You people should be checking this out. I'll be wearing my modular hat - scientific support dept. around 6.40pm UK clocks. All the fun of the fair! Happy Noo Yee xx
