Field recording is always the answer... Loving my new Ambient ASF-2 MKII, a really clear hydrophone that doesn't break the bank. More recordings and water music coming soon 🎶

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

Saturday morning synthing. Zebra-2 bringing the goods as ever. Spicy flavour from a little Soundtoys Filter Freak and some Izotopeinc EQ 👍🏻
Is seeing WIP patches interesting?

An excellent Ludo25! So many interesting conversations and papers that I'm going to be thinking on for weeks to come. It was excellent to catch up with old friends and meet lovely new folk too.
Thanks to the organisers. Can't wait till next year!

This is worth 3 minutes of your time. No one wants to eat at a restaurant that only serves bland chicken. (It’s not about chicken, or restaurants, tho)

"When I Survey" always feels like the right hymn to be singing on Good Friday.
Always a joy to be out early, playing my guitar and joining in with the birds.

Looking for a small and simple way to #Resist?
In order to effectively #BoycottAmazon , stop using their streaming service. If you can, get a DVD player and DVDs from thrift stores. Having physical media during a #Boycott means no one gets ad revenue, and you can still watch your favorite movies 💕

Happy Valentine's Day, especially to anyone who might identify with one of the letters in LGBTQ, particularly the day after someone Trumpy stripped the letter T and then the letter Q from the National Park Service website for Stonewall in New York City.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

The quotation of Hermann's Vertigo score in The Substance genuinely kept me up thinking last night. What an unexpected reference to the male gaze throughout cinematic history.
Would love to chat about its symbolism with fellow audio nerds (if anyone else cares 😂)
