When I think about one day needing to replace my computer, the laptop running all my production software and basically nothing else, I depress myself envisioning that it may have to be some omni-AI "talk to it like a companion" computer. I can't NOT see only OBSTACLES to composing music. 😑

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a kid.

What have I been up to, project-wise? Diligently composing score work for an upcoming thing I'm ecstatic to be contributing to!

Also, this music will be on my next album, a full-length instrumental panoply of themes & accompaniment from the last few years entitled Under Score XP. Cover art pending!

One man's life is worth so much more than a retrospective Blue Sky "tweet". But I want to say something. More details coming on Saturday by those who were closest to this situation. I will absolutely miss you @thegamechasers and you won't be forgotten!

my ideal phone is just the top cover bit of the new flips/razrs. I don't even need the inside of the phone. Just give me a little square phone.

I just signed up at VGen, thanks to an invite from @moomistar.bsky.social!!! 😍

I'm still navigating how the site works, how to set up Services and things so I can offer commissions; if anyone has tips or advice, comment away! I'm new to the side-hustle-for-hire era of modern Get-that-bag-o-topia.

I've always sort of quipped that, if I ever had to select my last meal, I would choose spaghetti. But ONLY if I got to cook and prepare it myself, with full control over the ingredients available. I will now further refine that to be basically the midnight batch I JUST made.

Guess I can die now. 🤷‍♂️🍝

When a simple google search results in this, your country might be on the wrong track

Because it's a day that starts in "Cat".

The conversation around AI replacing artists often centers on questions of whether a machine could ever truly understand beauty enough to replicate it, but that doesn't matter. The material reality of artistic labor means that the greatest harm these tools can do lies much further up the pipeline.

Yes, I'm old. As someone who was on Twitter 16 years ago, and never grew followers, I've settled into this particular social media habit—notions to post stem from some internal straw-man opinion which I feel apparently needs public declaration. To whom do I speak on this lonely quest for validation?

My swipe-type predictive autocorrect functionality thing is getting more tedious than I remember it being. I'm not a lazy swiper, I don't think, but is there any reason it perpetually insists on inputting "shimmering" when I'm TRYING to swipe "something"?

Please choose the MORE COMMON word, phone!

The most beautiful piece of art you can make, the real masterpiece, is the person you become from having created something. Did you overcome an obstacle? Have you communicated a feeling? How much more of yourself are you, having brought a piece into existence?

I believe the journey is the value.

It’s a miracle! I thought this thing was a goner for sure.

A few years back I acquired a Roland MT-32, a sound module I'd fantasized owning since the late 80s. I recorded an EP subtitled "Explorations Aboard Oscillators & Sounds Modules" to meld my current synthesizer tastes with old video game vibes and flavors.

Here's one place to hear it! ...

Sorry to spoil the party, but the GenZ stare was taught to them by their Gen X parents, who learned it from Janeane Garofalo.

I believe that generated art won't be the major shift, but will INSPIRE the renaissance. Every era of artistry has had its post-era, art made with specific intention to REJECT popular tenets & techniques. We WILL see human art made that figures out how to be undeniably human. Enough people feel it!

Premiering in less than half an hour, I got a new video up for the relaxation community. It's been a year since my last upload, it's about time I whipped up something hypnotic, mesmerizing, and meditative. 😴

Of all the covers I recorded for my 2021 album, I Alone is almost definitely the most often covered by other artists, if not number 2 behind How Soon Is Now?. You'll notice it's a fresh arrangement, and a new key, and likely ignores several musical elements you loved from Live's original version. 😉

There are too many people that I only know exist explicitly because they suck; they suck sufficiently enough that the corners of the internet I guess I inhabit consider them easily dunk-able. If I had my choice, I would rather not know that these cringe-human distractions were ever even out there! 🤷‍♂️
