I met some penguins last year, they're absolutely not down with this
I think I missed some. But here’s a fun fact: the Heard and Macdonald Islands are uninhabited.
The tariff is on penguins.

This show last week was super fun, thank you for having me, and yeah I'm now hooked on playing shows in surround sound in case anyone wants to book me
Meet @notnicknorton.bsky.social: Nick Norton makes things out of sound. Nick has lately been interested in AI tools and ethics, live spatial audio, and field recording.
On Sunday evening, Nick will provide a live spatial mix of his new piece for four harps, recorded by Elizabeth Huston.

Holy shit I logged out of bluesky for like five or six months and came back to a bunch of followers and folks posting some of my stuff. Fuck yeah bluesky! Hello all! Hi George!
Here's a comp I produced for PPR back in January that raised money for the LAFD foundation during the fires.

Got hired to sound edit and mix a pilot in a day. That's definitely not happening, but I'm having a fun weekend with it anyway. Made a new mix template with eight reverbs!

In a surprising twist, a WSJ reporter saw my being angry at capitalism on twitter and asked to interview me for a piece about how younger people invest. Gonna be an interesting phone call this morning.

Just got the video back from the premiere of my piece for string quartet and electronics back in April, with the Eclipse Quartet and @eyesack.bsky.social at 2220 Arts for the Hear Now festival. Glad to share it, maybe something comforting in this insane week.

Getting some pretty shitty messages on the other place for asking why fellow Jews weren't posting about the thousands of dead civilians in Palestine during past attacks, that's fun

Straight up ready to murder the dude who owned my camera before me. He set it to default to variable frame rate when it turns on. Completely fucked my first time using it, have to refund and probably lose the client, deeply, deeply upset and angry. There are no second takes in concert recording.

The West is relying on the talking point of "Israel's right to defend itself," but after facing escalating attacks on their people and infrastructure, none of them appear to care about Palestine's right to defend itself. Israeli apartheid must end.

I am having sticker shock being back in the US from Spain. The $13 breakfast of a coffee and a pastry I just got would have been maybe $4 max there. Last night's dinner was $50, wouldn't have been more than $25. Fuckin profit drive man
