‘Projections’ (new album) by @rogerodonnell.com currently keeping me company in my studio. Absolutely adore its ‘skippiness’ energy. (is that even a word?)
Love the more austere 7DWFL for painting too.

Mixing in Dolby Atmos at Metropolis last week can't wait to hear the results. Still not sure about Atmos but my new record, Projections is all electronic and if anything works in this format it's that. Dont worry it will also be available in 180gm red vinyl. Coming in September.

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Irish creatives, we need to keep an eye on our government too. Our copyright regulations have *already* been changed, without consultation, to make data harvesting easier for ‘research’.
When the call went out for people to form a national AI Council, no creative profession was among those invited.

If you’re a creator or work in the creative industries or otherwise have a heart, then please add your voice to this UK Gov consultation on AI and Copyright. I said ‘freelance’ for company and ‘unsure’ for super-granular legal stuff but made my voice heard. You can too. www.gov.uk/government/c...
Copyright and Artificial Intelligence
This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.
