About me
I've made electronic music since I was about 12. I've been around instruments and music all my life because my dad's a church organist. I started out just writing midi files and gradually got into voice creation over the years. I like things that take me as far as possible from real life and I think that's reflected in my music. I've listened to post-tonal stuff since highschool and it's slowly taken over my music collection.Over time my music has gone from simple repetitive structures, to more tonally complex stuff, then finally to timbre based stuff with complex or sometimes completely random structuring.

Electronic Music other: cord controll

Written May 11 2007
How do you all control the mess your electrical cords make? I've tried tying them up with hair clips and sending them through paper tubes. nothing works and the mess is absolutely out of hand. does anybody have a good method?

the only way for true tideyness is custom lengths cables. otherwise, you're always going to have a ball of "slack" you're going to need to hide.
this guy did something half cool under his desk for cables: link i really just lay them across the floor and never look back at it.
Though, i have thought of this idea of putting labels onto each cable. For instance, when you have lots of midi cables hooking up one synth to another, and you would be changing your setup 10 times a year like i do, it would come in quite handy if you have labels on each end of the cable going "poly800 out" and other way around. Same for audio cables. Alas, i've been too lazy to perform this idea, nor have i ever had the time to go buy sticky labels. jaydeegee is right - roll your own to the length you need. the back of my rack is a place of beauty because all cables go right from the gear to the patchbay with very little slack.
