Featured Reviews

"Ewan Bristow has released another audio plugin for the free and open source Plugdata visual programming environment for audio experimentation, prototyping and education"

"In the past four months, I've covered Bristol's EB-Morph and Florah(Lite) releases here on BPB. I have to say it's impressive how frequently he drops creative plugin releases, especially as an indie developer who offers so much of his inventory for free."

"Bristow's latest offering looks like his best yet. EB-Blasphemy is a generative, break-slicing sampler plugin with an array of sound-mangling effects built in, letting you transform drum breaks into glitchy, experimental patterns with a click of your mouse."

"This new free plugin from Ewan Bristow has hit the nail on the head - emulating the sound of AFX using distortive, spectral and experimental effects, surrounded by an "Amen Break" Sampler. Specs and details on the plugin are scarce but there us high praise in the reviews"

"EB-CatNip is a frequency-shifting delay device crafted by Ewan Bristow, notable for its unique capabilities and versatility. Developed entirely within the Plugdata environment, the plugin is characterized by its modifiable nature and engaging sound design features. Users can enjoy a creative experience akin to a sound design fun-house, allowing for extensive experimentation and customization."

I'm a massive idiot, I have no idea why these people like my stuff but idk i guess we ball

So...What do i do?

I used to make drum and bass, but got fed up spending upwards of £100 on a plugin I would use for 20 minutes, then leave in my plugins folder.

This led me to create my own solutions using Plugdata, a free alternative to Max for Live. I love the weird and wonderful, and specialise in spectral processing, and post-processing tools
