I am so much more and also none of that, in my own way. I take some time here to write about womxnhood and encourage everyone to actively challenge how we perceive it. Let the womxn in your life expand your definition of it. It’s been an incredible journey getting to know the trans womxn I am and coming to terms with how I want to live my life from this point forward. https://ritualdust.com/about/hardware/ Sun, 13 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://ritualdust.com/about/hardware/ Table of contents Computing Audio Photo and video Computing Apple Macbook Pro 13" mid-2014 with 1TB OWC SSD drive Raspberry Pi 4B+ (I plan to turn it into a resilient computer ) Keychron K6 with green keys Audio Synths Korg Monotron MakeNoise Strega Modular synth Controllers Arturia keystep Arturia beatstep Recorders Tascam DR-40 (Really rugged and the battery lasts a long time, sadly cannot work as an audio interface and the interface isn’t really intuitive) Audio players Vintage Technics cassette deck Audio Technica record player Headphones Hifiman HE350 (sound quality is good but the open back design can be annoying to others and the cord broke at some point) Photo and video I have often bought photo and video gear for specific projects or to explore new ways of making images. https://ritualdust.com/about/software/ Mon, 19 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://ritualdust.com/about/software/ Table of contents Visual tools Audio tools Coding tools Utilities Links Software tools for me are mostly a mean to an end, although I do enjoy building them if I have a specific problem and nothing is available that I find simple and efficient enough for the task.
