That's one of those things that's so weird to get excited about. Like I try to explain to people what it does and they nod politely... but I'm like "no, you don't understand. None of this works without this thing at the core of everything"

I've been playing this configuration for a while. It's a great feeling to be *done* building it. I don't ever feel like I need anything else anymore.

It's much darker with my human-meat eyeballs, but the phone camera's techno-sorcery makes it really pop out
A picture of the night sky from out my front door. The treeline is silhouetted in front of a pinkish-red sky. A few stars are sprinkled around. Also you can see a glow in the bottom-left from my neighbors' stupid porch light they keep on 24/7

I don't know why I like sitting directly on stage when playing my sets, but I do.
I usually take my shoes off and have a cushion, but something about it connects me.

Alright... ready for the noise jam tonight.
I'm playing "Oops! All Square Waves" and, if you're wondering what that is, it sounds like some static and an old NES explosion sound had a tender loving threesome with a fax machine.
