The Los Angeles-based artist leans into hazy distortion and swirling textures, crafting a moody, atmospheric sound that pulls the listener in. It’s a bold move to submit just one song for review, but it mostly paid off—“Holy Mountain” feels intentional and vibey, if still a bit raw. “I only have one song out so far (my first),” she notes, “and more to come very soon.” It’s a solid foundation that hints at a distinct artistic identity in the making.The post New Music Critique: Ahhmanda first appeared on Music Connection Magazine.

Massive Aluminum Snake Casting Becomes Water Cooling Loop For PCWater cooling was once only the preserve of hardcore casemodders and overclockers. Today, it’s pretty routinely used in all sorts of performance PC builds. However, few are using large artistic castings as radiators like [Mac Pierce] is doing.
The casting itself was inspired on the concept of the ouroboros, the snake which eats its own tail if one remembers correctly. [Mac] built a wooden form to produce a loop approximately 30″ tall and 24″ wide, before carving it into the classic snake design. The mold was then used to produce a hefty sand cast part which weighed in at just over 30 pounds.
The next problem was to figure out how to create a sealed water channel in the casting to use it as a radiator. This was achieved by machining finned cooling channels into the surface of the snake itself. A polycarbonate face plate was then produced to bolt over this, creating a sealed system. [Mac] also had to work hard to find a supply of aluminum-compatible water cooling fittings to ensure he didn’t run into any issues with galvanic corrosion.
The final product worked, and looked great to boot, even if it took many disassembly cycles to fix all the leaks. The blood-red coolant was a nice touch that really complemented the silvery aluminum. CPU temperatures weren’t as good as with a purpose-built PC radiator, but maxed out at 51 C in a heavy load test—servicable for [Mac]’s uses. The final touch was to simply build the rest of the PC to live inside the ouroboros itself—and the results were stunning.

View post: Get VZtec Overdrive stompbox plugin for FREEDamyFx Mr FlangerMr Flanger is a classic, warm modulation effect that creates a distinctive "flying" or "jet-like" sound by mixing the original signal with a delayed, time-modulated copy of it. Controls and Their Function: Rate (Modulation Frequency) Controls the speed at which the modulated delay oscillates (in Hz or BPM)Phase. Adjusts the phase shift between the oscillations of the left and right signals (if in stereo). Depth Determines the intensity of the modulation, or how much the delay varies from the base time (min). Min (Minimum Delay) Sets the minimum delay (in ms) applied to the delayed signal. Feedback (Regeneration) Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the input, creating resonance. Dry/Wet (Original/Processed Signal Balance) Adjusts the mix between the original (dry) and processed (wet) signals. Read More
