This has been a fun project to work on

[Bay Mud @Bay_Mud_]

Have I mentioned I was working on a quirky supervillain EP for this year's @RPMChallenge? Introducing Lord Plunder & The Sons of No One! Again entirely done on my @synthstrom Deluge (with a Nord Electro as controller). #RPMchallengemusic #newmusic #deluge https://t.co/HclyuozH2l

[Drinks With Mom Podcast @drinkswithmom]

Back from our summer break in time for Halloween. Mom wanted to try some non-alcoholic @tanquerayusa (just don't ask her to pronounce it) and compare it to the real deal. We chat about Canada's alcohol guidelines then a much-needed bidet update.

Current mood

[Dog Is Blue @dog_is_blue]

The first #BandcampFriday in years that we've had recent music to share, so do us a favour and check out our latest single (on a split EP with Paul's @Bay_Mud_ project). It's set to pay-what-you-want at the moment, so get it for nothing or buy us a coffee: https://t.co/3wenRYCoD7

This #BandcampFriday, why not check out my latest single (part of a split EP with my garage-folk duo @dog_is_blue). I'm really happy with it and it's currently pay-what-you-want, so get it for nothing or a million dollars---maybe somewhere in between? https://t.co/uOC36ef3FF

[Paul Watson @pwats]

Big day for new music on my end. Got the first new @dog_is_blue song in a while and an electronic @Bay_Mud_ track. You can find them on all the usual platforms, but they are together as a split single on @bandcamp: https://t.co/e7twwhpaIN #newmusic #NewMusicFriday

[Drinks With Mom Podcast @drinkswithmom]

We're taking a summer break. See you soon with new episodes. Cheers!

[Paul Watson @pwats]

@brianjbradley @rod_perry @dogisblue @CliffordBrewing @robinlevinson Oops! Thanks for the heads up. Fixed! Great to see you @brianjbradley!

[Paul Watson @pwats]

@burrow Oh yeah, good tip!

[Paul Watson @pwats]

Do your listeners a favour and slap a de-esser on your hosts vocal chain, not to mention something for clicks and plosives. Those harsh 's' sounds and mouth clicks are a huge distraction.

[Paul Watson @pwats]

@JodyJodyWhite Ha. Just an avid audio nerd offering unsolicited advice for any burgeoning podcasters

[Paul Watson @pwats]

@francois_v Definitely. De-essing can be done with simple stock plugins (if you are a media company with a low budget, for example). Very low bar. Also even a simple noise gate might help with moist lip smacks here and there, but a simple de-click plugin makes it easy.

[Paul Watson @pwats]

This was a fun collaboration. Check it out

[Bay Mud @Bay_Mud_]

New single is out! A collab with the master of chill, Infinite Replay. Give it a listen: https://t.co/9MEunaDR5f #distrokid #NewMusicAlert #NewMusic #Chill

[Paul Watson @pwats]

This was fun to make

[Bay Mud @Bay_Mud_]

If you have a second, I put together a video for my song "The Hitch-Hiker", made entirely out of sounds from the 1953 film (created on my trusty Synthstrom Deluge). A short, creepy romp:

Album art is always a fun challenge

[Bay Mud @Bay_Mud_]

Made a GIF of how my cover art started from a photo of my hand, then got manipulated and layered in @Krita_Painting to match the fun, creepy vibe of the song, which can be heard/purchased here: https://t.co/CHdHbyGeYa #BandcampFriday

[Paul Watson @pwats]

Speaking of #BandcampFriday, I make electronic music as @Bay_Mud_: https://t.co/iysMeHTeT8

Or garage-folk with @LKHeaney as @dog_is_blue: https://t.co/YUXdNkyxc8

Check them out if you haven't already.

[Bay Mud @Bay_Mud_]

Ah, Bandcamp Friday - it's like a Nerf war of music links

[Paul Watson @pwats]

This was a fun challenge

[Bay Mud @Bay_Mud_]

Did I mention I had a single coming out today? A strange romp made using only sounds from the 1953 (public domain) film The Hitch-Hiker. https://t.co/0fcjYoCCIj @DistroKid #NewMusicFriday

[Paul Watson @pwats]

Always fun to draw goofy things. Especially if it involves noises my mom makes #chung

[Drinks With Mom Podcast @drinkswithmom]

Here's a favourite exchange from last episode as done in cartoon form by our very own @pwats #chung

[Paul Watson @pwats]

Two goofballs having fun.

[Bay Mud @Bay_Mud_]

My talented pal @replay_infinite (who doesn't really use Twitter) threw this video together of our jam last night. Looking forward to finishing this track. A fun test of dueling workflows (me with my #SynthstromDeluge and #Microfreak, and him a wizard in #Bitwig)
