I am going to start being more aggressive with accounts I think are responding via bots of any kind, LLM or otherwise. That shit is unacceptable, and frankly, if I mistake a human for a bot, it probably says more about the way the human is acting than it does about me.

My Sound Design Sundays stream returns today! We're back on the Sketch to Song train. Today we're looking at maybe, possibly, finishing things up! Probably not, but I can dream...

Oof, a rough one! Technical difficulties with audio for the first 30 mins! A looong digression into ranting about various Bastards of the Music YouTube World! But ALSO some good discussion on the role of timbre in modern music and even a little bit of progress on the track!
Experience my thoughts on FM algorithms free of intrusive YouTube surveillance and general fuckery! Praise #PeerTube!

Sunday is a great day for new music. Try this set of Other People's Music -- this one offers passionate takes on esoteric instrumental hip hop, gaming music, instrumental rock with an electronic twist, dramatic synthpop & textured IDM weirdness.

Starts in FIVE MINUTES
Sound Design Sundays, starting at 12:30 PDT (Pacific/Los Angeles time). Today, we're looking at the well regarded Vital synth. Can this free synth challenge my powerhouse favorites? Let's find out!
How about some music discovery on this Monday? This week's Other People's Music is one for the (strange) ages! Wild free jazz, insane dub mutations, adventurous IDM & dreamy soundscapes await you.
The Dreamcast Files are BACK! A dedicated and obsessive fan chronicles EVERY Dreamcast release, in order! Here's the latest, back after a long hiatus.
So, Wednesday afternoons are increasingly no longer a great time for me to stream. And, honestly, I am not sure they were ever a great time for an audience (tho I deeply appreciate the crew that makes it nearly every week!).
So the question becomes, when? Let's poll!
When should I stream my sound design/music production videos?
