I get a bad back just looking at those pics.
like this?
i personally think its great, and i am not into modular
Or with a Jackery power station with solar panel, showing off their connection to nature but carrying this system around in a SUV, also using pickup microphones for recording plants and fungi?

It certainly doesnāt bother me but I must admit Iāve seen these performances and thought to myself āThat must be really uncomfortableā¦ā.
Maybe itās just because Iām aging and unfitā¦
Speaking of being old - one that does kind of bother me is instagram videos of people out in public places and nature playing their stuff over speakers. Iām a huge synth nerd but if Iām out trying to enjoy the birds and the trees the last thing I want to hear is your techno jam reverberating through the hillside.
Bit self indulgant IMO (says the guy that shoots on a 35mm f1.8 lensā¦)

Haha, outdoor - the more remote/obscure/abandoned/highest/lowest/rural/urban etc location, whilst looking āprofoundā or āseriousā or whatever is even fucking cheesier than the potted plants and action figures thing.
Too āartsyā and privileged, and āsocial mediaā driven for my taste, gotta get those likes

i did buy a solar panel and lithium to send a fluffy welcome to those squeky birds 
We have lots of unpleasant geese that shit on everything, they need some good vibes too, i dont go to reservar areas, but i like the areas which are set up for barbecues anyway. I have a mixed feeling here because they call old industrial areas now nature reservat, to not have to deconstruct the old buildings. I like small outdoor raves too. Nothing wrong with it, if the place is left clean.
People playing music/ videos/ whatever outdoors - especially in places like nature parks, hiking trails, etc, is so incredibly inconsiderate. Iām out here to listen to birds and enjoy the fact that I canāt hear traffic, not to hear whatever gods-awful music youāre listening to. Iāve thankfully never encountered the dorks who loudly play their techno arps in the park.

I watch old videos of my favorite mix engineers and drummers. Cables everywhere, ashtray, stale coffee. They got their priorities right. Itās about the sound.

Yea I have to be honest Iāve never encountered one in the wild - maybe they just have a good greenscreen 
Saw this comment just as I was browsing this blog: Retro Necro Column by Momus (Playground magazine, Madrid, January 2009)

Reviving this thread solely for fucking beat repeat/stutter/freeze echo FX. Just stop it!
(Context: Got an SP-404 recently and have been watching jams on YouTube and itās filled with it)

Correct.
Total steaming bucket of shite, the lot of it.
To be fair, I think Iād hate almost everything about the SP404.

That is one Iāve never been interested in. Donāt know why.
Just came here to say that but you beat me to it. I used these fx to death 10 years ago and iām ashamed of myself. Itās a lot of fun to play with the beat stutter from the 404 but musically it just adds this one effect sound that reminds you of 404ās and kaoss pads.
