A perfect day of recording Sk8r sounds. Ollie, grinds, kickflips, wheel noises, ramps, crash outs. #fieldrecording #soundDesign

Its really the smallest of the "no bid deals" in life but the moaning and complaints... the comfortable consumer class demands their inconvenience be know! πŸ˜†

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

I received the largest single license fee for stock music from META licensing a very popular royalty free website's entire catalog for "dataset training" -- to analyze metadata like keywords.

We had over 2000 items on platform. All of that metadata was Ai generated by ChatGPT and my intern.

Coming back to the studio and find this. Im lucky to share this space with those who try to be thoughtful and good humans. Lucky beyond understanding. I only want to give back forever. How? Dont know. Gonna try anyway.

Understand this. Reading the biography of Debussy ruined his entire body of work. I can never hear it as beautiful without also thinking of how he manipulated and harmed women and friends. A real creep.

You dont need numbers to see how the economy is doing. You just need to log into Linkedin and see the percentage of people posting "open to work" or looking.

Today may have been the most posts Ive seen in a loooong time. The next jobs report is gonna zing

Xin Xin is a laboratory for Ambient, Drone, and Electronic melodies.... and other sound experiments. Most tracks are improvisations on modular synth, played by hand, with manual control of timbre, sequence, and mix.

A humble collection of synth tones and improvisations. Found some fun and surprising things and hid them in these tapes.

Does it come with a Life Straw or handcranked radio?

I just converted a nice set of speakers into gallons of wheat berries and a grain mill.

.... if that tells you anything about the world right now. #payattention

Dunning-Kruger is making frequent appearance in recent Internet commentary. Makes sense...

The Age of Idiocracy is sponsored by Dunning-Kruger

AI chatbots are Dunning-Kruger machines. They make people who should be uncertain think they are actually really smart.

I feel lucky to have the privilege to spend time talking with these talented musicians and sound artists. These guys are veteran workers sharing an honest hour of shop talk.

Don't worry... that's coming soon

Buy your life straws though. Once the c0ntr0lgr1d turns on, it's going to be hard to fight back without fresh water

Congrats on this major project! Big upgrades are fun hard work.

Winthrop University Chamber Singers and Chorale on Apple Music Listen to music by Winthrop University Chamber Singers and Chorale on AppleΒ Music.

On this day of destruction, I see the release of a recording that is the voice of youth. A choir of imperfect people working together to create a sound of peace and harmony.

I dont know how to process this. But the pain of hearing beautiful music is deep today

But... I gotta know. Are you still using Spotify? It's the most garbage music platform to exist.

The key word is "may" and it's a blanket statement about Bsky and the wider internet, not Bandcamp's specific EULA or data policies.

At this level of concern, you really should consider not using a computer at all, much less a media service or social platform. Spotify being the most evil of all.

Subscription only software should be illegal. Name your price for a working product and go away.

Every corporate "payment portal" is the most inefficient and expensive way for companies to bill and pay for things.

Crap software, on subscription, poorly supported... they even managed to enshitifiy writing checks

It's unfortunate to have this type of commentary... equally unfortunate is to lump all music into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" EDM, Hip Hop, Orchestra, Jazz = bad fit

RnR has a different aesthetic, process, etc. Shoving EDM under that same roof is just as ignorant as Gene Simmons' comments

Ben tried to limit Quote Reposts and comments to his followers. But....

The picture shows the last time anyone's data was actually secure.

There are no real privacy and data controls on platforms. Especially from the backend. Nothing digital will ever be secure.

I like the idea of skilled workers starting their own enterprise and competing against the corporations run by those unskilled in the craft. Its harder but you could make it work.

Tbh... the best mistakes I've ever made.
