Jentu

what do you make with it if you don’t mind me asking?

A bunch of trash 😅 but if you’re interested, I made a bunch of stuff earlier this year when I was less busy (essentially, the challenge was to make a whole song every week of the year, which I failed to keep up with haha)

A lot of it is with software synths, but I did use my hardware synths like the minilogue, Dirtywave M8, and Roland SC-88 on a few songs.

Generally, you can find me on streaming services and Bandcamp under Jentu if you like any of it. I mostly just make music for myself without really caring much how it is received.

Do you make music too?

I have a Wobkey Rainy 75 and it’s by far the best keyboard I’ve ever bought/used. That being said, don’t go out of your way to buy one since they have gotten far more expensive than when I bought mine AND support for it has been very difficult. Yeah this was one of the many Kickstarter keyboards that was sent to a bunch of keyboard reviewers and they hyped it up massively, which I got swept up in. I’m just glad my keyboard was actually delivered at the end of the day.

I had a used keychron for a long time and loved it except for the non-swappable clicky switches. Highly recommend them.

Korg minilogue has been a favorite of mine for years (since I can’t reasonably afford a Moog).

The day-of, I just remember my teacher being out in the hallway on the phone for like 30 minutes, then an announcement was made over the intercom that parents would be picking us up. I didn’t know what happened until I got home. Then we just watched news replay the towers getting hit over and over for a few days.

A few years later, I remember being instructed on coloring in an outline of the country of Afghanistan (joke here about Americans only learn geography from war) and the teacher told us if we wanted to draw a bomb or something in the air above it, that’d be okay. Shit was absolutely fucked. I remember having a mock vote for Kerry v Bush and I was the only kid who didn’t vote Bush and the principal called my parents to collect me from school for the day.
