Knobs - Stipple (Full Album) 2022
Video | 3 years ago
This is my debut album. Stipple is a musical connect-the-dots. Each track is a puzzle, built around skittering guitar loops and grounded by a chamber orchestra. A tangled and dense shape appearing slowly. Bandcamp & Cassettes! https://knobs.bandcamp.com/alb...

Everything you see here was found within a drop of water. This is the second single from my upcoming album 'Stipple,' and a good view of what it's all about. All the water samples were manually collected and filmed over the past month. Stipple will be out S...

Knobs - Channel surfing (Official Video) 2022
Video | 4 years ago
Welcome to the unsettled sounds of Stipple! This is the first track on an album I've been playing with for years. The whole thing was kind of a game, to see if I could stitch together unrelated recordings and make them feel like they were made for each othe...

Review | 4 years ago

All my other pedals
Review | 4 years ago

Sampling games
Review | 5 years ago
Another month, another monthly. Welcome back. This month is all about sampling, with a side of looping (of course). I find there's so much room to play when it comes to sampling, and we're going to use that idea to tour through some new devices. It's been a...

This channel has been kicking around for 6 years now. It has 167(!) videos. We've had some fun. The first few years were all about pedals, mostly demos with the odd documentary here & there. That was nice. But you've probably noticed things getting a bit mo...

Video | 5 years ago
Let's talk about Qu-Bit. This was my first time putting together a case where every module was from the same company, and it was interesting how naturally a personality emerged. I've been using Qu-Bit modules since I got started with modular and I generally...
