This post got a lot of sound design texts because I’ve been doing electronic music production lately. Music production started for me when I tried OpenMPT some time ago. OpenMPT didn’t really have a lot of features back then it was a difficult software to navigate and my tracks were hot garbage. The hobby was…

Chill Coding: Reach – Jox Talay

The story so far
A long time ago The first time I got into programming was in high school and they have just thrown out the old typewriters back then and replaced them with IBM PC XT. My school had also set up the computer laboratory air-conditioned. But it was rather too hot because there are about 15 IBM…
