Madeagle
Somewhere between a sequencer and systemd. I make noises that sound like electricity and keep machines that answer after midnight. We don't sell anything here. We just make stuff.
01
Signal
Mostly this is about making weird noises on purpose. Start with an empty track, torture a wavetable until it confesses something, and keep the accident that sounds better than the plan. Sound design is just curiosity with a gain stage.
Happy accidents
The best patch is usually the one I wasn't trying to make.
Noise & space
Silence is a channel too. Sometimes the weirdness is the hook.
02
Systems
Let's be honest for a second: I'm still a little mad about
init.d. There was a shell script. You could read it. You
could fix it at 3am with nothing but vi and spite.
Then Poettering came along and now my init system has opinions, a binary
log, and a dependency graph that knows more about my machine than I do.
…and yet. systemctl enable --now just works.
Services come back after a reboot without me praying to a pidfile.
journalctl -u has saved my night more than once. So —
grudgingly, sincerely — thanks, Lennart. We're good. Mostly.

Kitchen
About the name. Say Madeagle out loud, a little hungry, with a German accent. There it is: Mett-Igel — a small spiky fellow built from raw minced pork and onion cubes, toothpicks for spines, standing proud on every good German buffet long before "stack" was a word. This whole site is basically an elaborate excuse for that pun.
