Album Review of "The Deacon Speaks" by Steve Hunter (9/10)Deacon Records

Producer: Steve Hunter

Alice Cooper, Lou Reed and Mitch Ryder are just a few of the musical luminaries that have relied on his guitar prowess. Hunter’s been one of the hired guns that has provided the secret sauce for their star maker machinery.

Now he’s front and center, serving up, not only soul-stirring axe work, but scintillating and resonant vocals as well. His takes on traditional tunes like “Back Door Man” and his own “Tiresome Blues” are spot on. And Reed’s “Sweet Jane” gets a fresh and revelatory arrangement.The post Album Review of "The Deacon Speaks" by Steve Hunter (9/10) first appeared on Music Connection Magazine.

Linux, Now In Real TimeAlthough Linux runs almost every supercomputer, most of the web, the majority of smart phones, and a few writers’ ancient Macbooks, there’s one major weak point in the Linux world that will almost always have developers reaching for a different operating system. Linux is not a real-time operating system (RTOS), meaning that it can’t respond to requests in the real world within a set timeframe. This means that applications needing computer control in industry, medicine, robotics, and other real-world situations generally need a purpose-built RTOS. At least, that was true until recently when an update to the Linux kernel added real-time capabilities.
The feature, called PREEMPT_RT, forces the Linux kernel to respond to certain request within a set limit of time. This means that a system with this support built into the kernel can “preempt” any current task, stopping everything else a computer is doing in order to execute that task right away. There are some existing solutions to getting a functional equivalent system working with Linux now, but they can be clunky or inelegant, requiring the user to install patches or other software to get it to work. With the support built directly into the kernel this will become much less of a pain point for anyone who needs this functionality going forward.
This feature has been in the works for around two decades now, so with this entering general use now we would expect to start seeing it show up in various projects as well as in commercial offerings soon, especially since other RTOS solutions can be pricey. Don’t recompile the kernel in your desktop for this feature just yet, though; real-time function can cause some unintended consequences with normal use you’ll need to account for. There’s some more discussion on this in the /r/Linux subreddit and there are some other real-time operating systems available for computers not typically capable of running Linux to take a look at as well.

Jumperless Breadboard V5 Readies For LaunchWhen are jumper wires on a breadboard entirely optional? When it’s the latest version of [Kevin Santo Cappuccio]’s Jumperless, which uses a bunch of analog crosspoint switches (typically used for handling things like video signals) to create connections instead of physical wires. There’s even an RGB LED under each hole capable of real-time visualization of signals between components.
If this looks a bit familiar, that’s because an earlier version took second place in the 2023 Hackaday Prize. But things have evolved considerably since then. There are multiple programmable power rails, ADC channels, a rotary encoder, and much more. The PCB design itself is fantastic, including the probe which acts like a multi-function tool for interacting with the whole thing. The newest version will make its debut on Crowd Supply in just a few days.
It’s open source and made to be hackable, so give the GitHub repository a look if you want a closer peek. You can watch it in action in a brief video posted to social media, embedded below.

We (and I cannot stress this enough) are so back.
Jumperless V5 lets you prototype like a nerdy wizard that can see electricity and conjure jumpers wherever you want. And the wait is nearly over for this particular superpower, it launches September 23rd on @crowd_supply. pic.twitter.com/VRr5H9sJD5

Detroit’s Cascade Riot started playing music together as kids. Explains frontman Ryan Failla, “We're big on the chemistry that the three of us have… I don't think any one of us really have much of a desire to play with anyone else.” Those kids eventually grew up, with one member taking an out-of-state job, dissolving Cascade Riot into the harsh waters known as the nine-to-five grind.

Fast forward to 2022, six years later, when the departed member returned to Michigan, posing the question, “what’s stopping us now?” This time, however, the group decided they needed to be all-in. “We couldn't go away for another six years and then come back and expect it to happen,” laughs Failla. “So one of the things we were interested in [this time] was label support.” 

In attempt to take the band the next level, Cascade Riot began submitting demos. Rather than agreeing to the first pitch they heard, however, the dudes took their time. “[With the first label we met], we realized we didn’t need what they're offering… They were kind of wanting to market us as just a punk band that only does this kind of sound and looks like this and acts like this.” Hearing this leaves us projecting the harsh reality Cascade Riot will be disappointed seeing we pigeon-holed their genre to fit our bio box above.

After turning down their first offer, the trio found PNWK. Failla and company were familiar with the label’s track record as fellow Michigan natives, Potion Seller were already signed. “They weren't locking us into any sort of commitment,” expresses Failla. 

Along with no long-term commitment, PNWK didn’t push an agenda or narrative on the band’s vision or sound, and only offered to help in spaces where Cascade Riot seemed interested. Like merch ideation and printing. “[Having the right deal], you don't feel like you're entirely on your own anymore. If there's something we need, we know we can go to them and they're probably gonna take care of it for us.”

The band is now recording its PNWK debut for a release later this year.The post Signing Story with Cascade Riot first appeared on Music Connection Magazine.
