Lovely new one … ambient downtempo goodness. Good beats. Good backgrounds. Good tinkly bits.

s-Hun, by Kaf 6 track album

🎧 Kaf - s-Hun (2021)

This is a nice one to me. That perfect balance of deep minimal techno and ambient atmospherics. Closer to the music I want to make lately.

Parts of the hobby

Following all the sub threads in a post can get a little weird. It’s not the best but it’s also not terrible if that makes sense.

🎧 John Lee Hooker - Burnin‘ (1962)

Working on … well, work. More of that sql stuff.

Plotting how to swap out my midi thru for a motu midi express I picked up used.

And I picked up some modular stuff (5U format) … how I’m going to cram that into the synth closet... I‘m not sure yet.

Hello bluesky!

Am I back again? I don’t know. I seem to go in and out of being able to tolerate the world of social posts anymore.

I am listening to my usual array of techno, ambient, rock, jazz, and 313 other shades of electronic

First glance I thought it was a beer. Then saw the jalapeño on label at top. Oh jalapeño beer. That sounds … Nasty to me.

And ok just jalapeño sauce. :-)

Friend pointed me to this post from @loscil.ca on pronunciation of their artist name. So I’ve been pronouncing it slightly wrong all these years.

I’ve always said LOW-sil

Going to take me a bit to say it right.

My all time fave track: Endless Falls

Yes. The old days of the internet - Usenet, IRC, small site forums for specific labels or topics, the earlier social networks. I helped create a wonderful one to me back in early 2010‘s on a platform called Ning that crumbled into obscurity as it monetized.

Nothing like the VC to exit circle.

In essence, all good ideas eventually become monetized out of usefulness.

Chris is an old old friend and we worked together back during my AtmoWorks and Relaxed Machinery label days. So happy he's with one of the best ambient labels out there now - @spottedpeccary.bsky.social

Jeff Mills - Sight Sound And Space (3 CD box set) | Axis Records Sight Sound And Space is a 3 CD set compilation featuring 42 compositions carefully selected from the archive of Jeff Mills and Axis Records, coming with a 47 page booklet of Jeff Mills’ own commentar...

Listening to Jeff Mills again. There’s just something so immense with his catalog and vision. for me he’s up there with Herbie Hancock and David Bowie on the breadth and depth of making music.

listening on YouTube but here‘s the official release.

Nice ambient one now. Was a couple of collections of dance floor tracks prior.

Cleaning up some small issues from the big January 1 changes. Every year health care changes a ton Jan 1. I work mainly with codes / setting up the data to support them.
