These Violent Delights
@tvdofficial.bsky.social
I bang on things and make noises. I also make weird videos. Experimental musician and filmmaker. Sometimes I post funny things.
My music isn't a hobby or a career. It's therapy. It's a release valve. And it's a compulsion. Whether or not I publish it, I'm always making music. And I'm making it for me. Sometimes I release it into the wild. And if someone likes it, cool. If not, also cool. But that's not the motive.

This is a huuuuge departure from the usual TVD sound. It's like old school hardcore with that TVD weirdness rubbed all over it. This is a more raw recording than what will be on the album but I just dug this version. It feels more punk.

I am wrapping up recording on the 4th full length These Violent Delights album. I took my time on this one. It's been almost 3 years in the works. It's a very weird and experimental album. It's somehow both my weirdest and my most accessible album. I'm aiming to release it in January.

I don't believe in polls. From a purely logical standpoint, they can't be correct. Most polls have a pool of around 1000 people. There are 8.2 billion people on the planet. The opinions of 1000 people cannot accurately reflect the opinions of 8.2 billion. When polls do predict, they just got lucky.

So, a lot of times I just sit in the studio and just have improvisational jams. That's what this whole EP was. These songs were all improvised and recorded in one take. Me pushing buttons and banging on things and just seeing what happens.

So, as a result of a happy accident while screwing around with Autotune and vocoders one time, I made the absolute weirdest guitar riff ever produced. And I couldn't do it again if I tried. The weird chants/moans in the chorus are actually a guitar.

I have such complicated feelings about Nintendo. I love Nintendo games. They make quality, fun, polished games. I will give them that. But man, they are total bastards. They're an evil, litigious corporation. And the Switch 2 is a fuck you to gamers everywhere. I refuse to ever buy one.

History classes in the future are gonna be weird AF:

"Ok class, yesterday we learned about the significance of Pepe The Frog on the Groyper movement and the rise of American fascism in the 2020s. Today we're gonna learn about Gamestonks and DOGE. So, in 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter..."

I haven't dreamt in about 5 years. I don't think I sleep long enough for it to happen.

I really wanna start a rebel tech company. I have a handful of nifty inventions that work. A one-click livestreaming bodycam for filming cops and ICE, encrypted mesh communication devices, a box that masks all your internet activity, an RFID and NFC signal copier, all kinds of fun stuff.

Fiona Apple has always been punk as fuck. She may not make punk music but she's punk. She got famous from some catchy pop songs then when she got an MTV award, she called out the whole industry as bullshit, walked away and started making weird, non-commercial music. Because fuck them. I love that.

About 70% of the sounds in TVD are sounds I made with just stuff. This song however is 100% sound design. Drills, a dishwasher, a clock, wood, a car, some rubberbands, and a metal bowl full of broken glass were the only instruments in this song.

I think I'm starting to believe the conspiracy theory that Andrew WK is actually several different actors playing a character. Like, this does not all look like the same guy. But I am really high and it's 1 am.

Please don't tell me what you feel
it don't matter, it's not real

The first song I ever wrote for These Violent Delights. I didn't even have a name for the project when I wrote this. This and Self Contained were the birth of the idea.

Who the hell was renting out the house in Barbarian?? I'm pretty sure he monster in the basement doesn't know how to use the internet and the old guy was just rotting in a bed. So who posted the ad on AirBNB? This has bothered me for years.

I see a lot of producers freaking out about the end of Windows 10. But dude, I've had updates turned off on my music PC for 3 years. Windows updates tend to fuck with some of my audio software so I haven't had a security update in 3 years. You'll be fine. Just don't do any web browsing on that PC.

My music career has had a few unique milestones:

My music has been featured in S&M midget porn.

A satanic space death cult reviewed my album once. Gave it an 8.

Candace Owens knows who These Violent Delights is and she hates me.

So, that's all pretty neat.

So I've made a few articles over here. Still feeling out what I want to do with it. So far I've talked about freedom of speech, Charlie Kirk, piracy and emulation, AI, and Beau Is Afraid. So, uh, pretty varied. I'll eventually settle on a tone. Subscribe if ya want.

Hi. I make weird creepy music, I write funny and/or political things sometimes and I kinda make film/video stuff. I’m pretty new to that part. I’m honestly not sure what I’m gonna do with this Substac...

I have a confession. I tried for a few years to do this sort of ARG/performance art thing with These Violent Delights, Cathexis TV, and Cathexis Collective Studios. I just never got popular enough for it all to be found. And I'll never reveal what's real and what's not.

I've never listened to Bad Bunny in my life but I'm gonna be watching his halftime show and I hope he comes out in full drag and sings the entire thing in Spanish and at the end he holds up a "Fuck ICE" sign.
