SEELE, the name under which I make synthesizers, is starting up again, although the Etsy store has been changed to be the online store for Parachigo, our local Art Recreation Center. Sales of synthesizers will in part go toward Parachigo and maintaining cybergrunge.net.

It has been a couple years since regular SEELE synths were made, and thankfully yesterday I sold out of four new synths in a few hours. I look forward to making more soon and coming up with new methods as well as doing more circuit bending. If you want to support cybergrunge.net, the best way for now is to follow the etsy shop, buy stuff from there when things are available, as well as follow the new SEELE Instagram. Thanks guys.

We are welcoming on a new Webmistress, vicki, who will be helping with updates to the backend of the site, security auditing, and various optimizations. The spirit of cybergrunge.net is to have many contributors and be collectively run by multiple folks I don't want the site to seem like the Ellie Voyyd fan club website or a clique.

However, coding a website is a lot of work, and a lot of folks who would like to help have a lot of other stuff going on, so it has primarily been done by me alone, with some contributors adding bits and pieces here and there. Anyway, we're glad to have help, and if anyone else out there wants to contribute please get in touch over Discord or Instagram. Thanks.

Sadly, our fiscal host, Open Collective Foundation, is dissolving. We plan to continue using opencollective but we have to find a new fiscal host, this will likely end up being Parachigo, a local Art Recreation Center based in Fargo. For now, recurring donors/supporters will have their monthly donations paused. Thank you to everyone who used OpenCollective to support the site and we will have further options for donations soon.

Due to a recent hack, the zip generator is offline for a while. The hack only involved someone overwriting zip and html files on the server with very obvious malware that I am sure no users would fall for. Unfortunately, due to this we also have had to remove the source code from github and until it is audited for better security it will be hosted on a private gitlab repo.
