Pin Tweaks Grace Griffin 2025-01-19 | @HardwareJams weekend challenge this time was to pay homage to the great David Lynch, who passed away this week. He was rightly admired by so many. Twin Peaks, Dune, Eraserhead and many other works are amongst my all time favourites. So I slipped into surreality and di my best. Hope you enjoy it, thanks for watching and listening.#moogmatriarch #lyra8 #makenoise #spectraphon #instruo #arbhar and #lubadh #mutableinstruments #beads #modularsynth #experimentalmusic ISRC: GX-C33-25-10050
90925 Grace Griffin 2025-09-15 | @HardwareJams weekend challenge was simple this week - to use some TR909 sounds as a celebration of the 9th of September, aka 909 Day.This jam is just on th Elektron Analog Rhytm ii and it uses 9 different 909 samples and three speech samples. The only other accessory is the Loopop Plus 3 which is mapped to some effects parameters in the ARiiHope you enjoy.
Happy 909 Day jamming Grace Griffin 2025-09-12 | 09/09 is a special day. Jamming with a bunch of brutalised 909 samples on my ARii and a load of other stuff. Improvised live analogue techno and electronica coming up!
The Source of My Problems Grace Griffin 2025-09-07 | @HardwareJams challenge this weekend was to make a jam that would get you banned (the highest form of accolade in the HWJ community!)Not too sure if this is actually good enough, I didn't have that much time to get it together, but it is a first take straight-to-stereo jam with some fun little Arbhar gated chords, looped Plinky in the Lubadh and the Analog Rytm being its dirtiest self. Cameos from Labyrinth and Xoxbox.
Cold Generative Ambient (Instruo - Make Noise - Plinky) Grace Griffin 2025-09-02 | I don't normally make these "generative" patches, but this one was rather serendipitous so I made a video and recording. It took a few little tickles to get it rolling, but for the most part the plant is in charge!I love the work of @InvertedPopesMusic @ElaineSynth @riotbell5365 @mistergenerator5430 @Theshapelessgarden @FloChai and so many more channels here; this is a little tribute to you all and a modest thank you for the countless hours of calm you give us. I hope you enjoy it x.My attempt at a patch description:Instruo Pocket Scion (controlled by my birthday present house plant!) feeds the Lubadh, which is continuously overdubbing. This goes into the Arbhar.USB Midi from Pocket Scion also feeds the Arbhar (a genius trick revealed this weekend by @instruo and @TheUnperson THANK YOU!).The Arbhar then goes through the Make Noise DXG Low Pass Gate.Make Noise Multimod via Doepfer passive attenuators modulates the Arbhar and Lubadh.Bela Gliss controls the Arbhar reverbPlinky runs a wibbly wobbly sparse and simple arpeggio as an underpinning.ALM Pamela's Pro Workout for clock and modulation of the DXGVideo shot on BMPCC Pocket 4k and graded in Davinci Resolve.
Late night jam for Lisa. Grace Griffin 2025-08-11 | I miss talking with you until the sun came up. I miss you cheerleading so many of us in our stream chats. I miss your incredible music and knowledge.It is often much harder to motivate myself to stream a live jam, knowing you won't be there. But this one in particular is for you.
Jam From Scratch 25 Grace Griffin 2025-08-10 | @HardwareJams Weekend Challenge this week is @InkyDaCaT 's favourite challenge - build a jam from scratch in five minutes. Nothing sequenced to start with, but you are allowed to get your sounds ready. Inky and I would probably have had a friendly argument about whether the Labyrinth is bending the rules, so I thought I'd sneak it in just to annoy her! Simple jam at Inky's favourite tempo, miss you dear friend x#elektron #analogrytmmkii #moog #labyrinth
Spinning Grace Griffin 2025-08-03 | @HardwareJams Weekend Challenge was to mess about with some reversed samples.Well... I have many ways to reverse sounds, ended up with these:- Using the Loopop Plus 3 to swap the start and end points of loops on the Analog Rytm ii- Lyra 8 into the Arbhar and Lubadh with continual oversampling- Xoxbox and Labyrinth into the Mood 2 pedal in pitch / reverse modeHad a lot of fun with this one! Hope you enjoy it x
Spontaneous chilled jam Grace Griffin 2025-07-30 | what it says up there... perhaps there is nothing new under the sun, but there is fun to be had still; exploring what exists. Some retro vibes in here but I had a fun time exploring these ideas during the afternoon and a late-night live jam was inevitable.Drones courtesy of Arbhar, Plinky and the Mood 2 pedal.Disjointed and disembodied voices from Lubadh / Multimod combo.Beats and dub-ish behaviours from the Analog Rytm iiWeird and wild synth from the MatriarchCameo from the XoxboxThanks for watching I hope you enjoyed it x
Happy Threes Grace Griffin 2025-07-21 | @HardwareJams weekend challenge this week is to use a major schale and triplets. Happy Threes. Rumbly kick - Analog Rytm iiChirpy percussion - Edge into Matriarch.Triplet bass - Matriarch with a three step major triad sequence. Dirty Wurli - Nord Electro 3 via RE202 delay.A MIDI c able from the Nord to the Matriarch allowed me to transpose the triplet bass line whilst playing the Nord, badly.I need to practice, my apologies!
My Space-faring Friend Grace Griffin 2025-07-13 | @HardwareJams challenge this week was to use just one box to make a flaming hot jam! So I grabbed the Plinky and took us into an orbit round the Sun...

Stereoereo Grace Griffin 2025-06-29 | Once again, a @HardwareJams Weekend Challenge video. This week the challenge is to play with the stereo field. This warrants good speakers or headphones if you've got them!Patch notes:Labyrinth sequencers' triggers are firing the two sides of Maths. Maths envelopes modulating DXG channels 1 & 2, which are fed with the two sides of Spectraphon, each of which is getting pitch CV from the Labyrinth sequencers. Side A of Spectraphon to channel 1 Left input (dummy jack in the right input), B to channel 2 Right input of the DXG.The DXG outputs go into the TC Electronics D2 Delay on 50% wet /dry, which has a fun "spacial" parameter which allows for phase reversal and slight offset of one side of the wet output. The decay times of both the Maths channels are modulated by two outputs from Multimod, slightly out of phase with each other.Two more Multimod channels are sending pitch CV to the Labytrinth oscilllators.The Labyrinth audio is feeding the Arbahr, further outputs of the Multimod modulate the scan, size and pitch of the Arbhar and the Gliss is controlling the Arbhar's reverb level. Analog Rhytm has some long panned delays applied to various steps of various voices.Hope that makes some vague sense!
Decomposing Breaks Grace Griffin 2025-06-23 | Another @HardwareJams Weekend Challenge jam.This week the prompt was simply a recording of the Amen break, nothing else. So I thought I would wander in the opposite direction from the obvious and riffed on the idea of deconstructing, or perhaps decomposing the idea of a breakbeat... I put the break through PaulXStretch and then uploaded the result to the Lubadh. This is the texture you hear in the start of the jam. Of course, I also uploaded a 160bpm version of the break but used Multimod and Lubadh to shatter it into bits. Patched up a wubby-ish bass on the Matriarch and created a strange atmosphere with the Multimod and Arbhar. The final ingredient was a Plinky patch that might have been a good candidate for the recent "LFO" challenge. Hope you enjoy it!#instruo #makenoisemusic #moog #plinky
13 - Arbhar Lubadh and Plinky Jam Grace Griffin 2025-06-15 | @HardwareJams weekend challenge was to make a jam fitting of an 80's style slasher / horror movie...ummmmArbhar, Lubadh and Plinky conjour up an evil distorted mess. Hope that does the trick!
mnm 3 Grace Griffin 2025-06-11 | Alternate take of Modular And Matriarch Improvisation from 1oth May 2025Down-tempo Exploration of Matriarch, Plinky, Spectraphon all modulated with Multimod, Jumbler and Pam's Pro Workout. Arbhar and Lubadh adding fun.
Trippin Blackbirds Grace Griffin 2025-06-09 | @HardwareJams Weekend CHallenge - "make the LFO the star of the show". So I've ended up with one of the most deranged jams I've ever done. In reality there are only two LFOs in action here, but its a bit more complex than that - the Lyra's Hyper LFO is a crazy and wild beast, the Make Noise Multimod has eight related-but-different outputs of modulation, kida LFOs which are offset and time-divided. Overall though, this actually sounds lke the local backbirds have been eating LSD!
Squelchy Grace Griffin 2025-06-02 | @HardwareJams Weekend challenge this weekend was to use just three musical elements from a list to make our jams. I used a pad, some samples and a bassline...Hope you enjoy!#lubadh #arbhar #xoxbox #moogmatriarch #experimentalmusic #ambientmusic
Earwormhole Grace Griffin 2025-05-11 | @HardwareJams Weekend Challenge was all about falling into a black hole or a wormhole or something and making techno with some sort of organic elements... hmmmm sounds like a job for the #lyra8 looped by #lubadh accompanied by #plinky and #spectraphon all set to a bunch of 909 samples on the #analogrytmmkii with wild accompniament from the #labyrinth and the newly repaired #xoxbox (whoopeeeeeee!)Hope you enjoy the silliness

Ewoks Discover Techno Grace Griffin 2025-05-04 | @HardwareJams weekend challenge - May The Fourth - is based around part two of a convoluted and quite frankly absurd story; head over to the HWJ channel community posts f you want to read it. This is my daft response jam....#domorejams #bemoreinky My story text in the video: "This is the story of those pesky but cleverlittle furry creatures known as Ewoks. This story takes place in the alternate reality we inhabit called The JamFam.As we all know, the Ewoks' home planet Endor has been overgrown and subjugated by those pesky Plants in their relentless conquering of the galaxy. The poor Ewoks have been busily but ineffectually plotting their revenge deep in the jungles of Endor. They are also blissfully unaware of the other battles that rage in the heavens above them; chaotic clashes between the Dark and Light sides, Jedi and Sith.Orbiting high above the planet Endor is a monstrous creation of the Dark Side known as a Death Star.In a further twist of ignorance and fate (something seemingly quite common in this strange reality)spores of the fungi that feed and support the dominance of the Plants throughout the galaxy have found their way through interstellar space and tunneled into the heating ducts and infrastructure throughout the Death Star. It is well known that the agents of the Dark Side are a tad nesh and like to have the heating turned up to a toasty 23 degrees so they can swan about in shorts and flip flops whilst they charge their laser guns.This of course leads to their unwitting destruction because those mushroom spores in the heating ducts germinate, multiply and grow very rapidly indeed...They swiftly spread through the entire Death Star wrecking the functionality of all the mechanisms that keep the forces of the Dark Side snug and warm.Hubris comes into play at this point, there are no cardigans, sweaters, longtrousers, sensible shoes or even scarves (the horror!) aboard the Death Star; posession of such items would have led to summary ejection via the nearest air lock along with the clothes.So the entire crew of the Death Star start huddling together for warmth (even though they don't really need to) and they stop watching their screens or monitoring the functionality of the Death Star's systems. The invading mushrooms spread ever deeper into the hideous construction and the whole edifice crumbles andbreaks apart leading to a huge and spectacular explosion. Victory is served to the Light Side on a big fungal platter courtesy of the unwitting life support system of the Plants.In their joy at this outcome, the Rebel forces explain to the Plants what has been going on and the Plants see the benefits of a symbiotic pact to ensure a peaceful andprosperous future for everyone in the galaxy.For their part, the Rebel forces start to understand the power and incredible sophistication of fungi and myceliae.In the meantime the Ewoks had the motherof all parties, they ate a load of mushrooms, dropped some banging tunes and of course they discovered acid techno.That's all we fekkin need. Ewoks making techno. "
oh.... whats all this? Been too long! Grace Griffin 2025-05-04 | impromptu live jamming from outer space....Apologies for the jerky video, my upload speed was dreadful.

Old New Borrowed Blue Grace Griffin 2025-03-30 | @HardwareJams Weekend Challenge was to jam around the theme of "Something Old Something New Something Borrowed Something Blue"(I'm not sure who's getting married in the jamfam but maybe we will find out on Monday....)OLD - My trusty DX7, 42 years old. NEW- Plinky and Multimod (which is creating the weird reverse effect on the Crave)BORROWED - from my dear friend Sophie Toes; the Nord Electro that is MIDI'd to the DX7 and they combine to make the bell-marimba soundBLUE - well, spot the blue notes - a bit cheesy I guess but so what?Thanks for watching and please forgive the terrible playing x

pH303 Grace Griffin 2025-03-02 | The @HardwareJams Challenge this weekend was to celebrate 303 Day (March the Third...) by using everybody's favourite acid box in weird and wonderful ways to make a super-psychedelic jam... so my trusty TD3 (can't afford a "real one"sadly) was going into the Spectraphon, Arbhar and Lubadh. CV from the TD3 sequence to the Arbhar and the Labyrinth. Dirty drums from the Analog Rytm ii and reverse effects from the Mood 2 pedal. Nice and messy.

Nominative Determinism - Andy & Grace Grace Griffin 2024-12-31 | This is the Andy & Grace HWJ "Secret Santa" Jam, every Christmas time the @HardwareJams community have a special challenge whereby they are drawn the name at random of another jammer and the challenge is to pay homage, celebrate or emulate the other jammer's sound and style. Of course, it is all supposed to be a secret until the end of each jam and guessing who can be a fun game!

Ride Home Grace Griffin 2024-12-15 | @HardwareJams weekend challenge - Tired, probably drunk, on the last train / bus / cab home from a Christmas piss up… the repetitive mechanical rhythm turns into a banging electronic drum beat in your woozy mind, which is considerably preferable to a banging headache.Your challenge this weekend: make that beat and then jam with it like Santa’s delivery schedule depends on it!ISRC: GX-C33-24-10049

At The Tone Grace Griffin 2024-11-09 | @HardwareJams Weekend Challenge - use noise! I grabbed some "interesting" noises from the shortwaves via a webSDR and sampled them into my #elektron #analogrytmmkii then I sculpted a few other percussion voices from the noise engine available in there; mapped the #endorphines #plus3 to some effects parameters. Then jammed out a beat!Hope you enjoy the noises and thanks for watching.
