Why _anyone_ working in the music industry still has an active Spotify subscription is beyond me.

Luke Knott has some odd computer noises, filtered and downsampled to highlight some sharp edges, arranged in abstract forms. But I'd still say the music's friendly about it! There's frequent activity with a purposeful direction. Even when the logic is obscure, I know it's there, I never feel lost.

Anyone else find PayPal to be almost unusable these days?
Website graphics don’t load.
Address updates don’t work.
Bank accounts supposedly need verification, but verification process doesn’t work.
I’ve just turned off PayPal in as many webshops as I can here, opting for Square instead 🤷♂️

I say this with love, but the main danger in making modular synth music seems to be that if you're not careful you very quickly wind up making what sound like planetarium soundtracks
