Received an email "tips to stay active this fall" from my health provider, but thought it said "tips to stay *alive* this fall" which I would have read.

In 2021, I started writing short notes for each book I finished. Yesterday instead of taking care of todos I thought it would be more fun to plot a histogram based on those books publication dates.

Aspects, our dnb LP featuring many approaches to rhythm from drumfunk to minimal synthetic, has reached streaming services everywhere. Personally if I'm not using Bandcamp, I'm using Qobuz. :)

My mom’s caretaker asked if she could have a day off this week for a “family emergency”

Turns out her niece, who was in the country legally with a work permit, was detained by ICE…and now the family doesn’t know where she is.

It’s not just coming. It’s here.

Our second LP of 2025 is "Aspects." Comprised of demos sent to PCMS over the last year, Pinecone Moonshine's "Aspects" continues where 2022's "Facets" left off - showing many sides or methods to dnb rhythm in the PCMS style.

How I'll district myself today... try and wrap my head around remixing a 120 bpm drum solo full of 8th notes into 170 bpm dnb without ruining the vibe and timbre. Then I'll return to reality.
Ok time to get into it...
