Vibin with Geinoh Yamashirogumi's Ecophony Rinne, which I'm very glad finally got a repress (after 40 years!). They're best known for the soundtrack to Akira, but for me, this is their masterpiece. A spiritual journey with chants, gamelan, synthesizers, organs etc. Vivid.

William Basinski - Disintegration Loops
RIP king. 964 Pinocchio is one of the wildest and most anarchic movies ever, every moment feels like it's bursting with unbridled energy that can't be held back by reason or convention. I'm glad he lived long enough to see the resurgence.
Finally watched Memoria after putting it off for years. Glad I waited until I had a home theater setup, one of the best sounding movies I've ever seen. Apichatpong Weerasethakul you've done it again.
I highly recommend checking out the demo that's still available on their store page. It's a bizarre cosmic survival horror RPG FPS made in GZDoom with amazing atmosphere, brutal combat and extreme tension.

I was wondering what happened to Divine Frequency, I've been looking forward to it since the demo dropped. Unfortunately, their lead writer passed away last year, so it was understandably greatly delayed, but seems to be ready for early access soon!
![FOGHAZER - He Left The Temple [Full Album]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dbr2drtyg4jwkpd3367nek5v/bafkreihzxfgvuixh2vf5f5m6hcom6ohmnfxcixpfx2ttl6azgdkvvjzdq4)
Black Metal Trip Hop is not a genre fusion you'd expect to work but Foghazer's He Left the Temple manages to pull it off not just in a way that's genuinely great, but while also sounding like an actual fusion instead of one or the other with a gimmick.

Did a remix of the HEALTH song "TRASH DECADE" from their latest album. I'm not much of a remixer, but hopefully you might enjoy it regardless.

At a time when digital art feels like the standard, physical art can get easily overlooked, so I'm always happy to see and support artists keeping that train going.
Their commissions are currently closed, but you should follow Lime to see awesome wood carvings.
Among a multitude of other reasons that I have no desire to itemize
A little bit of bloat builds character
Glad you finished it, it brings up multiple points that are fun to think about, in a way that's very punchy and succinct, with 0 unnecessary bloat.
11 Piranesi. pieces in 1 week has got to be my new record. Hopefully this will be enough to keep a few fans of weird, atmospheric and abstract music fed for a while. We're approaching triple digits, which might call for something special?

Shoutouts to Sweet Smell of Success for taking up 2 spots on any list of the most despicable and fascinating sociopathic manipulators in movies, and for also having some insanely punchy dialogue. Feels like every scene had at least one really quotable line. Incredible film.
GRAVEYARD SHIFT, my fast-paced zombie FPS where you use office supplies to kill your coworkers, now has a Steam store page!
Be sure to WISHLIST if you want to play when it releases!

With another big update out of the way, I once again have some time for making more Piranesi. pieces. This batch includes the quite unexpected Metal Studies trilogy, as well as a new logo brought on by the new year.

Noted. Coincidentally, Tsui Hark, director of Iron Monkey, also produced The Big Heat and did some directing for it.
I love movies.

I'm always caught off guard upon revisiting Charles Lloyd's take on La Llorona, the piano is so tastefully restrained even on these dramatic chords and when the band finally comes in, they do it so gracefully it feels like they were always there.
And now this should be pretty evident why it took so long and the ungodly amount of work it took to deliver. Infinite love to the rest of the programmers, with special thanks to those at New Blood who shifted over to working on ULTRAKILL, for all your contributions!
Hotfixes and OST soon, etc etc
Joe from Ashita no Joe, completely exhausted (and possibly dead) with a smile on his face
TOMORROW.
