If we see people wearing Meta glasses, we need to start calling them Gargoyles, it’s only fitting to help Z*ck fully realize his complete misunderstanding of the book Snow Crash.

I recently did an interview for EX! Magazine, published by Adventurous Music. I talk about art, music, tech, and privacy/security in the age of authoritarianism. It's packaged with some great music by great artists too!

"Un lavoro che affascina, inquieta e obbliga a riascoltare il modo in cui siamo stati abituati a vedere o peggio, a sorvegliare, IL REALE."

From a great review of my recent album 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙮 in Italian magazine Rockerilla.

Fuck you RFK Jr.

Got my Covid and Flu vaccinations today, despite the new CDC recommendations and not having insurance. Spoiler, it was $227, but at least in California I was able to do it.

My new album 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙮 is out now! Through this release I wrestle with what is public and private, true and false, as the world slides deeper into a fascist surveillance state.

"A profound work that is probably best served by focus and attention, but in the spirit of versatility can also sit neatly in the background as ambient music was born to do."

First review of 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙮 from Musique Machine, the album is out tomorrow!

I have never been so proud of an automation. I hate updating my audio plugins because they all require an app and the only way I don't forget they exist is to keep them in my dock.

Now with one click, and one icon in the dock, they all launch at once! Plugin housecleaning has never been faster!

The @fulcrumarts.bsky.social bathrooms is a gorgeous pink and perfect for selfies, another benefit to coming in today or Saturday!

Thanks! The single cover is actually slightly different than the album. Both feature the encrypted album description, but the albums uses the album title as the encryption key and the single uses the track title as the encryption key. Then each has a different photos from Tokyo in the background.

My mother passed away just over 19 years ago, I created my album 𝙈𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 in dedication to her a few months later. I set it to name-your-price for today only. Have a listen and let me know if you think I should reissue/remaster for the 20 year anniversary?

To get a first listen, head over to @foxydigitalis.bsky.social, where they are premiering the video for 𝗰𝟬𝗻𝟳𝟯𝘅𝟳_𝗰𝟬𝗹𝗹𝟰𝗽𝟱𝟯. It's a bit of a visual departure for me where I play with encryption as an aesthetic overlayed on top of urban areas in Tokyo.
