I master music and consider myself a polymath poser
-
Transparent Mastering is all about my role disappearing into the listener’s experience
-
I’m after a timeless sound that will be impressive and satisfying decades from now.
-
I also provide a point of supportive human contact with a critical ear

Last year I made my first solo record. I'm very proud of what I was able to accomplish on my own (with a lot of help from my recording engineer, Andrew). Check it out!

Newsletter: Microsoft pulled back on over a gigawatt of planned data center capacity, suggesting that they do not think there is a growth future in generative AI. Meanwhile, SoftBank, the only company that can afford to fund OpenAI, has to take out loans to do so.

What are peoples’ thoughts on the Trump/DOGE insanity with respect to Javier Milei’s actions in Argentina; Influenced by him? Trying to steal the historical thunder?

Some of the rowdiest weather I’ve ever seen happening in Masstown NS tonight.
I can’t even imagine what the hurricane #Fiona survivors went through.

If you think making a sardonic meme about world events is helping humanity move in the right direction, you’re probably on the wrong path.

Something you’ve heard in all kinds of music is the modulation into the minor key. This is NOT a relative major/minor thing. Instead, whatever key you are in can be “slipped” into minor with relative freedom. More in YT description.

Added a center bay to my Ikea-last-east-rack-hack. I was about to pull the trigger on a $6000 desk when I realized I could DIY it for less than $20.
Oh, and I was only joking. I wasn’t about to buy a $6000 desk-not in this economy! 😅

iOS autocorrecting “quick look” to Quick Look every time is 3 parts cheesy and 1 part antagonistic.

Sometimes I realize things like: that camping trip I thought we did every single summer of my childhood actually only happened twice.
Is that depressing? Not at all. It reminds me that I am not required to replicate an impossible childhood to my kids. They cover the impossible bit.

Reading this absolute masterpiece again. I’m only a few pages in but have a stupid grin on my face because the Steinbeck has *already* completely immersed me in the Salinas Valley.
I think the only book I’ve read that has moved me as deeply is Brothers Karamazov.

The assumption that digital information is an appropriate long term storage medium for the knowledge of the human race is utterly foolhardy.
Books aren’t indestructible but at least all you need to extract the information is…itself.
Libraries might be the most important institution we have.

One of the craziest things on the internet is seeing how many people are still actually afraid that gen AI is going to take their job.
This week I tried to calculate the length of Xmas lites to spiral around my 60 ft hedge and it said 60 ft…3x in a row, different prompts.
I’M SHAKING IN MY BOOTS

I cannot express how bad this story is for generative AI. OpenAI is burning hundreds of millions of dollars to try and make GPT-5 a meaningful upgrade, and it isn't working. Where does all of this go? How does this result in anything?

When you search for shortcuts instead of embracing discipline and deep practice, you merely succeed in cheapening your own experience.
We reach for the shortcut because we feel overworked, but often we’re overworked bc of others seeking the shortcut.

Yep. The flipside of this slide from IBM in the 70s or early 80s is that having a computer make the decisions is a means of skirting accountability.
