Lo, when thine eyes doth fall upon the wealthy, thou shalt consume them, yet not before their riches have been stripped from them, saith the Lord.

That's actually why I created this! I like sharing sneak peeks of music on social platforms, but just recording my DAW is kinda boring. ๐ I wanted something more visually interesting.
Electron + Vite! And a lot of Three.js.
Experimenting with a custom-built music visualizer. I'm really digging the look of this!
Studio Sunday! Working on an art project collab with another composer today.
I've been following your phone rants for the past couple of days. ๐ I have one too: when fuckers almost RUN INTO ME while walking on the sidewalk because they're too glued to their phones. I usually "ahem" loudly before they collide with me, cuz I ain't moving out of their way.
I think one of the things about bluesky is that for a lot of its users, it represents a kind of retirement from social media. Like Iโm tired and I want to get out of the game
Started working on the next album. The people wanted calm, given the terrible state of the world, so calm is what they shall get.

Is Uncharted Worlds Extended Version done? I think it might be. Now to get approval from Warner Chappell Music to release it! Should clock in at around 4:23, compared to the original's 1:14.
ok #gameaudio people of the PNW, I have an ask of you.
Our Sonic Landscape is coming up and I'm looking to spread the word. I would greatly appreciate if you would share this news with another audio person to let them know about it. especially if they aren't on this site.

Why be openly rude like this? If you don't like her stuff, skip it. Also, are you suggesting I have bad taste in music?
Agreed, we certainly don't need more of a carbon impact. But:

i'm trans. my girlfriend and i are stuck in very bad red states. we have to get Elsewhere together and survive without much/any established support wherever that is - a safer state, or out of the country altogether if we can save enough. please help if you are able! we're cool and nice people!
The environmental harm of AI is still dwarfed by aviation and the concrete industry (#1 offender). Still, it all adds up and is no good.
I see you, fellow engineer. ๐ The benefits LLMs bring to the software engineering world are staggering compared to what it offers most people. I think this is why people just blanket-hate it and can't understand how anyone could find it useful.
But yes, some days it is shockingly dumb. Other times, it blows me away at what it can achieve, building something in 30 minutes that would've taken me a good few days of R&D.
This is a mixed-bag response.
True: Claude cannot innovate. Unlike humans, it doesn't do a great job of "thinking outside the box" and coming up with award-winning ideas. But that's a question of product, not engineering.
Wrong on the code front: it can & does produce incredible results.
Stop what you're doing and go listen to the music of @micropolyphonia.bsky.social for a bit! "Ice Giants" might be my favorite - absolutely stunning. If you have a subwoofer, make sure it's ON!

@micropolyphonia.bsky.social I just wanted you to know that I always have a chuckle when I see your Bsky handle pop up. โค๏ธ BTW, I checked out some of your music (Voyager) - great stuff! Like, TRULY good. Please tell me you're contributing music to major projects.
Dropped MIDI notes when using the slide feature. In other words, the core functionality of the controller. ๐
And the award for most disappointing MIDI controller goes to... ๐ฅ the ROLI Seaboard M! Or ROLI in general. It's sad when such awesome music tech is spoiled by poor quality control.
This is from three years ago and I've somehow never seen this! ๐

Even as a Cubase guy, I will say that Ableton Live is really great for synthwave or any other material that follows song structure and is tight to the beat.
Hope everything is ok!
A sticker from ohmygollyembroidery on Etsy that says Trans Lives Are More Important Than Harry Potter.
I just started playing and have yet to encounter much drama. I am ready for it!
Finally watching Arcane, and a few episodes into season 1. What a fantastic show, and so beautifully crafted, too! Every frame is a frickin' desktop wallpaper.
On all streaming platforms! And maybe my Bandcamp for a limited time before it hits streaming. Depends on the terms that Warner Chappell Music agrees to, since they control the rights to that piece.
Update on my Uncharted Worlds extended version: turns out I have to finish it before I can even apply for permission from Warner Chappell to release it. So, back to work. Fingers crossed they say yes! ๐ค
Looking good, buddy! Love the shirt!
